Development of Parking Choice Models Considering Effects of Street Environment in the City Center

Abstract

Parking in the city center has been oversupply, and it is a factor preventing autonomous supply. So, we need to consider effective utilization of a parking and appropriate allocation. This paper focuses on walking access for destination, and develops parking choice models considering effects of street environment. Data developing these models was collected from the parking around Nagoya Dome. Through developing models, we choose street environment factors as well as parking fee and walking distance for destination, main factors for parking choice behavior. Guidance to effective utilization of a parking and appropriate allocation are suggested by this model.
