Notice of Retraction: Organization based on space syntax for shared parking in central business district

Abstract

The idea of smart growth has been accepted by many farseeing cities around the world. Their goals are to concentrate growth in the center of a city to avoid urban sprawl. Against this background, shared parking which needs less space but provides more parking spaces is welcome in urban area. However, it has been still a challenge for traffic engineers and metropolitan governors to make parking garages and lots in large-scale area, especially in the central business distribution, shared as an integrated one. This paper tries to adopt traffic organization to solve the problem of shared parking. First, it introduces space syntax which is a paradigm of city and modifies its behavioral hypotheses for motor vehicles. Then, it improves the traffic system by making use of space syntax in traffic organization combining with parking guidance and information system (PGIS). Finally, it presents the application of this method in Yanghuyuan micro center business district (MCBD), which is located in Changsha, China.
