The parking policy in the modern city has to balance the often conflicting choices between fundamental issues (environment, energy, safety, efficiency, urban organization, technology) with the final goal of synthesizing an overall quality of life.
The various stages of a parking study include:
• Field survey and parking conditions in the area of influence.
• Analysis of traffic in the area of influence.
• Study of demand and supply of parking in the area of influence
• General station layout and traffic features (station design, seating arrangement, floor communication, signage, configuration of entrances, exits and waiting areas, station access, station vehicle service system, total capacity).
