A regulatory parking fee is compared with road pricing. A commuting tripdemand model with two alternative modal choices is developed. The behavior ofsearching for a parking lot is treated by an aggregate approach. Specifically, thetime cost of searching for a parking space depends on the ratio of aggregate demand and aggregate supply in an area. Parking either in the CBD or at theboundary of the satellite city is needed for commuting trips. For the case of theTaipei metropolitan area, it is found that the performance of optimal parking feeis close to the first-best optimum road pricing if the parking demand isunavoidable for every commuting trip with the same origin-destination pair.Some sensitivity analyses are conducted for a small change in each parameter inthe model. |
