A SIMULATION MODEL OF THE PARKING SYSTEM

EEN SIMULATIE-MODEL VAN HET PARKEERSYSTEEM

In this report a model is discussed by which parking is described and which can be an aid for the development of a local parking policy. The model must give an insight into the effects which can be expected of measures which influence parking. There are three kinds of effect: primary effects regarding parking itself, secondary effects regarding other aspects of traffic such as traffic mode, place of destination, and tertiary effects regarding spatial planning etc. The study of the problem and a literature review of existing parking models have resulted in the development of a computer program simulating parking which is presented.
