The entrance/exit locations of a large parking garage will largelyaffect the traffic flow operations on adjacent streets. In the past, theselection of entrance/exit locations has relied on the subjective judgment ofthe designers. No planning tool is available to assist the designers in thisprocess. The objective of this research is to develop a model for selectingentrance/exit locations based on the minimum travel time of network. The modelmay be used for evaluating traffic impact brought about by the parking garage,as well as various traffic management countermeasures for alleviating theimpacts. It may be used as an effective planning tool for parking garageplanning and design. In this paper, the past approaches for selectingentrance/exit locations are reviewed. Relevant theories and techniques for modelformulation are explored, and the proposed methodology described. A case studywill be conducted for testing the validity and reliability of the proposedmodel. |
