Abstract

In order to improve the estimation of network capacity for a given urban road system, it is assumed that the impact of destination parking management strategies should be considered in the network capacity estimation model. This study presents an extended road network capacity model that takes into account both the number of parking spaces and parking rates in each traffic zone. The network capacity model is formulated as a two-level programming problem with maximizing the total trip generation at the upper level and the combined trip distribution and traffic assignment (CTDTA) problem at the lower level. In order to reasonably characterize the impact of parking pricing and parking delays due to congestion, the CTDTA model involves two classes of travel demand. An efficient and practical algorithm for solving the two-level network capacity model is presented. Numerical experiments show the advantages of the proposed model and demonstrate the impact of parking supply and pricing on the results of road network capacity assessment.
