˃ Importance of Parking Demand Assessment
˃ The New Model for Parking Assessment
˃ Concept of Shared and Reciprocal Parking
˃ Intricacies, Assumptions and Limitations
˃ Model Applications
˃ Integrated Transport Assessment
˃ Transport Needs Assessment
˃ Transition Frameworks
˃ Land Use Parking Ratio – Justification or Policy Development
˃ Cash-in-lieu Policy
˃ Public Parking Business Case Development
˃ Allocation of a Scarce Resource

3. Why this Model was Developed
˃Parking: Driver for change
˃Activity Centres: People-
centric development
˃Parking Demand: How
much does the public want?
(and when to provide less)

4. The New Model for Parking Assessment
The Methodology
> Determine unrestrained demand without
shared or reciprocal parking
> Include impacts of sharing parking across the
broad land-use categories
> Include consideration for reciprocal parking
(internal trip capture)
> Derive reasonable targets for mode shift
> Test options for improvement to try to meet
target parking provision
> Assess feasibility and infrastructure
requirements

5. Shared Parking
> A single bay used by multiple land uses across the day, according to need.
> ‘temporal use of parking’
Reciprocal Parking (Internal Capture)
> Where a single bay is consumed for a trip chain across multiple land uses.
> ‘spatial use of parking’
Concepts of Shared and Reciprocal Parking

10. Intricacies
• Reciprocity benefits for ‘Exclusive’
parking only
• Internal-External Interactions
(allocation of parking)
• Mode share effects
• Park ‘n’ ride and visitor parking
• Spatial effects (multiple internal
and external Zones)
• Efficiency factors for private and
public
Intricacies, Assumptions and Limitations
Assumptions and Limitations
• People hypothecated to cars
• Mixed use behaviour assumed
from US samples
• Behaviour extended to City
Centre scales
• Broad land use assumptions
• No synergy within categories
• Synergies assumed between
categories
• Sensitive to data inputs – relies
on a detailed understanding of
City Centre land uses
Mitigation:
• Observation and Calibration

17. Model Cash–in–lieu scheme = 25% of maximum development parking requirement
Staged Build-out:
Stage 1:
˃ 815 bays publically accessible ‘private’ parking
˃ 150 bays public on-street parking
˃ 132 bays public at-grade parking
˃ 349 bays equivalent cash-in-lieu
Stage 2:
˃ 1,862 bays exclusive ‘private’ parking
˃ 500 bays replacement multi-deck parking
˃ 798 bays equivalent cash-in-lieu

Conclusion
This model incorporates many of the real effects of
mode share, land use and spatial behaviour to
determine the future need for parking.
Outputs are detailed and present an understanding of
the various parts of the parking system.
The model can be calibrated to observed behaviour.
But, the model is sensitive to the inputs and can be
used only as a benchmark for parking demand.
