Research on ways to improve the environmental situation while optimizing the management of urban parking space

Abstract

This paper explores options for improving the environmental situation when optimizing the management of urban parking space. During the work, the distance traveled by drivers when searching for parking in the central part of cities was analyzed. Data on the length of the distance traveled was obtained by interviewing drivers. The survey was conducted after completing a task to find parking in the central part of cities at a certain time of day (08.00-09.00, 12.00-14.00, 17.00-19.00). The data obtained reflect the indicator regarding the distance traveled by drivers when searching for parking in the central part of cities. The data obtained make it possible to estimate the amount of environmental load arising from vehicle traffic in the central part of cities when searching for free parking spaces. These studies can be used in the development of programs for optimizing the management of urban parking space, as well as environmental studies aimed at stabilizing the environmental situation in modern cities.
