Authors: Michael Green, P.E., GISP

Given the advancements in parking revenue control, operations, and management, there is a way to utilize technology to better understand how parking systems work. Combining this technology with ArcGIS can allow planners to evaluate alternative scenarios and quickly identify how much parking a new development needs, and how it will displace existing customers. This presentation will provide a handful of case studies demonstrating how the use of this tool has helped the University of Washington, Fort Collins, CO and other communities to better understand and manage its parking system. The presentation will discuss how the tool is used, analysis features that help planners understand normal, peak, and event parking demands, and how this tool can be calibrated and tailored directly to communities in order to provide an accurate depiction of existing and future parking needs.
