Research methodology for quantitative and qualitative parameters of parking space use

Abstract

An effective solution to the city’s transport problems is associated with a set of infrastructural measures that can compensate for the expansion of the road network. Paid parking in cities is a proven solution that has been used for several decades in various countries around the world. Now the cities of Russia are coming close to this approach. A simplified planning algorithm for paid urban parking spaces is considered in the article using the example of the city of Volgograd. The algorithm is presented in the form of a sequence of actions for the study of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the use of parking space in the central part of the city, as well as actions for drawing up conceptual proposals for the organization of parking space. Particular attention is paid to the block for collecting initial data on the parameters of the road network and information on the parameters of the use of parking spaces in order to form technically sound proposals for the creation of zones of paid parking spaces.
