Evaluation of On-Street Night Parking Demand: A Case Study of Roorkee City

Abstract

Nowadays, parking is a challenging issue all around the world, especially in the Central Business District (CBD) during the day and in residential areas during the night. Parking demand in CBD is increasing day by day due to insufficient off-street parking facilities and the tendency to park near the destination. The on-street night parking demand is increasing in residential areas due to the non-availability of sufficient off-street parking facilities on the premises. In this study, one residential area in Roorkee has been selected as the case study area. Socio-economic, demographic and parking characteristics were used as parameters to generate the parking demand model. The selected parameters were collected from the field using the in-out survey and questionnaire survey. Two parking demand models were developed by logistic regression analysis. The first model was developed without the parking fees, while the second model considers parking fees as a parameter. Also, the sensitivity analysis was done on both models to examine the changes in the existing parking demand.
