Abstract:
A METHOD IS DEMONSTRATED OF USING URBAN ORIGIN AND DESTINATION SURVEY MATERIAL FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POWER OF BUILDINGS OF VARIOUS TYPES TO ATTRACT TRAFFIC AND CREATE PARKING DEMAND. FIFTEEN BUILDINGS SUCH AS DEPARTMENT STORES, SCHOOLS, THEATRES, FACTORIES, HOSPITALS, ETC. AND ONE SHOPPING COMMUNITY ARE ANALYZED AS GENERATORS IN SUCH A WAY AS TO BRING OUT THE PURPOSES OF TRIPS MADE TO THEM, THE MODE OF TRAVEL USED, THE TIME-OF-DAY DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRAVEL, AND WHERE THE TRIPS ORIGINATED. A SECOND METHOD IS PRESENTED WHICH USES ORIGIN AND DESTINATION DATA TO SECURE MASS INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARKING DEMANDS CREATED BY VARIOUS GENERATORS. BY SEGREGATING THE TRIPS OF THOSE WHO DROVE PASSENGER CARS AND BY ASSUMING THAT EACH SUCH TRIP REPRESENTED A POTENTIAL PARKER, THE TOTAL DAILY PARKING DEMAND OF EACH GENERATOR IS ESTABLISHED. THE PURPOSES OF THE TRIPS AND THE HOUR THEY WERE MADE ARE THEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND TURNOVER FACTORS DEVELOPED FOR EACH TRIP PURPOSE FOR EACH GENERATOR. THESE TURNOVER FACTORS ARE USED TO ESTABLISH PARKING SPACE REQUIREMENTS. THESE, IN TURN, ARE RELATED TO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE GENERATORS TO PRODUCE SUCH BASIC UNITS AS THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET OF DEPARTMENT STORE SELLING SPACE PER PARKING SPACE REQUIRED, THE NUMBER OF THEATER SEATS PER PARKING SPACE REQUIRED, ETC. /AUTHOR/
