Parking Demand

Pricing is a common measure for parking demand management that has been implemented worldwide. However, the impact of parking price on a parking lot’s quality of service is seldom discussed. This study investigated the impacts of a ladder daily maximum fee charging strategy on the quality of service of the Hongqiao International Airport parking lot based on automatic transaction data before and after the strategy was implemented. An evaluation framework considering managers’ and users’ perspectives was designed. The estimation results show that the new price regulation method largely discouraged long-term parking demand and improved the availability of airport parking facilities, especially during long holidays. As a consequence, throughput and income largely increased in the airport, and there were extra time costs during vehicle departures. The price elasticity of parkers with different parking durations was further estimated. The results showed that price sensitivity is relatively inelastic but varies based on parking duration.

The Impact

This study examines how the voluntary nature of local membership in transportation agencies can impact resource allocation, drawing on details from a major US transit agency in a state that lets cities opt in or out of transit agency membership. This study finds significant correlation between local opt-outs and transit service using national data. This study examines the impact opt-outs have on transit resource allocation and decision making over time, their effect on transit service over decades, and equity implications, using historical case study analysis from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system (DART). This study concludes that authorizing legislation allowing local jurisdictions to opt out of transit districts weakens planning capacity, creates a structure making it difficult to allocate scarce transit dollars based on transit need and social equity goals, instead favoring allocation based on satisfying each municipality.

This research evaluates the impact of RouteMatch Software on the MET Special Transit service in Billings, MT, and analyzes the gains in service efficiency compared to those achieved with the MET's previous software solution, Mobility Master Software. In this review, before and after quantitative and qualitative data are analyzed, including rides per hour, rides per mile, dispatcher and driver attitudes, and pick up and drop off time performances. The results indicate that MET Special Transit operations were slightly more efficient after the software was installed, and that with a slight gain in efficiency, the RouteMatch Software could have a positive cost to benefit ratio.

Parking Demand

The geometric design of airport curbsides is critical for both airport planners and passengers as it affects airport ground traffic capacity and creates airline delays. Rational design of curbsides can yield increased efficiency in the use of road space and time resources. Yet a limited number of studies have reported the impact of traffic features on curbside’s geometric design. This paper provides a two-lane curbside measurement with a simulation model to calculate the length of curbsides, which solves the curbside berth supply and curbside length calculation problems using a refined curbside parking model (RCPM) with constraints of a car-following (CF) model, as well as uniformly distributed speed, dwell time, and parking demand; it thereby unveils the detailed microscopic mechanisms of interaction of traffic features and curbsides’ length. The required lengths of curbsides under various parking demands are obtained after a set of numerical simulations. The result further reveals the significant impacts of car-following and braking behaviors, particularly under the huge parking demands on curbside traffic flow. It also demonstrates that a certain delay is created and a suboptimum level of service (LOS) occurs even though satisfying all parking demands, which indicates that lengthening the curbside and increasing parking supply do not necessarily improve the LOS.

The Impact

The average passenger boarding and alighting times and bus dwell times at stops are important information for estimating transit service capacities. Bus dwell time directly affects vehicle travel time, and thus the fleet size required to provide service based on scheduled headway is affected. Research focused on estimating bus dwell time and the impact of boarding and alighting passengers on dwell time. In addition, the effect of standees, time of day, and service type on bus dwell time was investigated. The data were recently collected from an archived database, within which automatic passenger counter information was recorded. The dwell times and passenger counts were recorded daily during 2001 and the first 6 months of 2002. The bus dwell time and average passenger boarding and alighting time at stops are explained using descriptive statistics.
