** PLEASE CHECK MID-TERM PARKING IMPLEMENTATION. THIS DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT YET IN THE CODE. **

1. Inputs

Relevant inputs to ST Supply are:

  • (LT) Parking Infrastructure
  • (MT) Bus operation schedule
  • (MT Pre-day) (Passenger/Freight) Daily Activity Schedule Trip Chain that includes:
    • Intended parking location
    • Parking-specific (Origin/Destination Node ID)
    • Activity-specific (Origin/Destination Node ID)
    • Activity type
    • Activity duration
  • (MT Within-day) outputs of the following models:
    • Choice of route to initial parking location.
    • Choice in face of parking availability, i.e. whether to take parking “in-sight” or keep moving towards the destination.
    • Choice of parking strategy: i.e. new parking intentions, e.g. when faced with unavailability.
    • Choice of route between parking search locations/facilities.
    • Choice of parking option to take.
    • Choice of tour-schedule (freight-specific)
    • For public transit
      • Route
      • Stops

The microsimulation informs on the “experience” of the drivers in their parking operations. This experience is useful for various agents, informing: a) to the drivers’ choices in following parking undertakings, b) the carriers planning of tours (e.g. freight), and c) management of parking infrastructure by operators and associated agents (e.g. government).

2. Outputs

  • (MT) (Freight/Passenger) Total travel time, which includes parking activity duration
  • (MT) (Freight/Passenger) (discrepancy between parking plan and parking “reality”)
    • For each driver or specific sub-populations
    • Initial option accepted (binary variable)
    • Selected parking type
    • Desired vs. actual parking cost
    • Parking search time
    • Desired vs. actual walking distance
  • (LT) Regarding the infrastructure usage
    • Fraction of occupied parking places, and changes over time
    • Number of cars searching for parking place, and changes over time
    • Turnover measures
    • Revenues from on-street parking
    • Revenues from paid parking lots, by lots and proprietor
    • Public Transit specific (waiting time to reach bus stop, bus stop ID)
