Results of parking survey in the central part of Moscow for new tariff determination

Abstract

Abstract The need to conduct a study of the parking space in the center of Moscow was caused by a significant overload of paid parking lots and, thus, traffic jams due to car mileage in search of free parking spaces in the central part of the city, increased noise and air pollution. Excessive loading of parking lots also leads to numerous violations of parking rules. The demand for parking within the Boulevard Ring is determined by the concentration of historical monuments, government agencies, museums, exhibition halls, shops, leisure facilities and other facilities that are extremely attractive to residents and visitors of the city. The results of one of the survey stages included the following: the inventory of existing car parking within the territory in question and the indicators of the current level of the parking space system development in the territory under consideration. The inventory included the analysis of parking place location with the allocation of parking lots on the street-road network, in underground and elevated capital structures, and in courtyards. Simultaneously with the monitoring, they carried out mass surveys of drivers parking cars in paid parking lots of the road network.
