Parking Studies and Layouts - Examples & Applications

A lot contains 40 cars at 08:00. During 08:00–09:00, 15 arrive and 7 depart. During 09:00–10:00, 9 arrive and 12 depart. Determine the end-of-hour accumulations and the larger observed value.

For four successive one-hour intervals a survey measures constant or interval-average accumulation of 40, 60, 50 and 30 vehicles, respectively. Determine the parking load and average occupied count over the four-hour window.

The matched vehicle-event records for a study window total $1{,}180$ space-hours for $620$ distinct complete parking events. Find the observed mean duration.

A facility has $N=200$ usable spaces and a 10-hour study window. It serves $620$ complete parking events and has a measured load of $1{,}180$ space-hours. Compute turnover and average occupancy.

A commercial center has 240 usable stalls and an observed peak of 218 parked vehicles. Management considers an 85% operational occupancy target (a planning assumption, not a statutory limit). Calculate peak occupancy and the shortfall from the target.

A site forecasts a peak demand of 125 cars from locally measured land-use data. Planners choose an 85% target fraction to maintain an operational reserve. Determine the minimum integer usable-space supply meeting that target.

A prospective shared facility has office demand of 60, 90 and 30 vehicles in morning, midday and evening periods. Retail demand in the same periods is 20, 30 and 80. Compare the shared peak with the sum of standalone peaks. Assume the two developments genuinely can share the supply at all three times.

A schematic 90° design assumes 5.0 m passenger-car stall depth on both sides of a 6.0 m aisle. A site strip is 32.0 m wide. Calculate the cross-aisle width of one module and whether two fit, excluding all perimeter/fire/access requirements.

For a classroom rectangular stall measuring 2.5 m across its vehicle axis and 5.0 m along it, with stall axis at $60^\circ$ to the aisle, calculate ideal pitch along the aisle and projected row depth. An illustrative aisle is 5.5 m wide; compute the opposing double-module depth.

A proposed Philippine off-street carpark is counted as 120 total parking spaces. Apply Table A.6.1 of the 2024 BP 344 amended IRR to obtain the accessible stall count; calculate the sum of minimum marked rectangles using a slot width of 4,000 mm and length of 5,000 mm. Do not mistake this area for complete accessible route provision.
