Truck parking in urban areas: Application of choice modelling within traffic microsimulation
Highlights An econometric parking choice model is developed that accounts for parking type and location. A traffic simulation module incorporates the parking choice model to select parking facilities. Results show lower mean searching time for freight vehicles when some streets are reserved for freight parking.
Abstract Urban truck parking policies include time restrictions, pricing policies, space management and enforcement. This paper develops a method for investigating the potential impact of truck parking policy in urban areas. An econometric parking choice model is developed that accounts for parking type and location. A traffic simulation module is developed that incorporates the parking choice model to select suitable parking facilities/locations. The models are demonstrated to evaluate the impact of dedicating on-street parking in a busy street system in the Toronto CBD. The results of the study show lower mean searching time for freight vehicles when some streets are reserved for freight parking, accompanied by higher search and walking times for passenger vehicles.
