Research Report 057 Parking demand and trip generation

Published: | Category: Transport demand management , Research programme , Research & reports | Audience: General

List showing priorities of land uses for which data on parking demand and trip generation were required by traffic engineers and town planners have been prepared.

The information was obtained from responses to questionnaires sent to ten local authorities in 1992, and it was used to review and revise priorities established in 1988. The work also reviewed the wider issues of parking demand defined in 1988.

Recommendations are for surveys of parking that is shared by different uses, and for a review of techniques available for providing parking in older commercial centres. Four groups of specific land uses are defined for which further data need to be gathered on parking demand and trip generation.
