Abstract
There exists difficulty to analyze the movement of vehicles running within the parking lot, because such movement of vehicles is very complex. In this paper, for the purpose of making traffic flows safe and smooth within the parking lot, the support system for planning of the parking lot is developed. The system can take account of the scale of the parking lot, the area of storage space within the parking lot and the locate of the devices at entrances and exits of parking lot.
This system consists of a micro traffic simulation model which can track the movement of individual vehicles. By combining the road and the parking stall within the parking lot as elementary blocks, it is possible to compose an arbitrary scale and form of parking lot. Experimental results with actual investigated data suggest that the developed system is useful for supporting planning of the parking lot.
