THE EFFECT OF BUILDING SPACE USAGE ON PARKING DEMAND

THE POSSIBILITIES WERE INVESTIGATED OF UTILIZING THE PARKING SURVEY DATA, COLLECTED IN VARIOUS CITIES, TO DETERMINE THE PARKING HABITS OF DRIVERS. THE POSSIBILITY WAS INVESTIGATED OF SECURING MASS INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARKING DEMAND CREATED BY VARIOUS TYPES OF BUILDINGS FROM URBAN ORIGIN AND DESTINATION DATA AS A BY-PRODUCT. IT IS DEMONSTRATED HOW THE USEFULNESS OF THIS MASS INFORMATION OF GENERATOR PARKING DEMAND MAY BE INCREASED BY RELATING IT TO THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GENERATORS, SPECIFICALLY, BY CORRELATING PARKING DEMAND WITH SUCH FACTORS AS THE FLOOR AREA OF VARIOUS BUILDINGS, THE NUMBER OF SEATS IN THEATRES AND OTHER PLACES OF RECREATION, THE GUEST CAPACITY OF HOTELS, THE CONCENTRATION OF INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYEES, THE NUMBER OF BEDS IN HOSPITALS, ETC. THE PARKING SURVEY DATA WAS ACCUMULATED IN THE BALTIMORE CITY PARKING SURVEY. THE DATA WERE CODED AND THEN PUNCHED ON BUSINESS MACHINE CARDS FOR MECHANICAL TABULATION. THE PROCEDURES DEMONSTRATED ARE RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH AND AS A BY-PRODUCT OF URBAN ORIGIN AND DESTINATION PARKING SURVEYS.
