Parking Demand and Supply Analysis: A Case Study of Arat-kilo to Piassa Road

Biruk Mulu

Abstract: This study was intended to analyze the parking demand and supply of Arat kilo to Piazza road. The study establishes the peak parking demand rates by land use analysis for each land uses and compared with the ITE peak parking demand rate standards. The data were collected by on-site survey including counting of the parking volume in each time interval of the day and calculating of some parking statistical terms by using license plate survey. In addition to this some questionnaires were distributed to the drivers to strength the parking demand of the area. The results suggest that the street needs many more additional parking spaces in the case of both for the actual and ITE parking demand rates. Beside this the derived actual peak demand rates shows that there is a gap between the two standards and as a result, directly applying the ITE standards to the study area may not be appropriate as it may not be economical to the current growth of country. The research conclude that the main problem of parking in the area is lack of enough on-street, off-street and building parking space supplies, lack of parking policy and management system, absence of parking signs and marks results which results confusion for finding available parking spaces and lack of knowledge of users for parking usage and shared parking strategies.
