Research on Cruising Mode for Curb Parking

With the increase of the number of vehicles, cruising for curb parking in the central business district is obvious. Cruising for parking not only consumes time, but also affects normal driving. Through the questionnaire and video survey of cruising mode for curb parking carried out at Youshige Business District in Beijing, this paper analyzes the phenomenon of cruising for curb parking. Based on the survey data, a binary logit (BL) model of cruising mode for curb parking is constructed. This model analyzes the influence of different factors on the decision of cruising mode for parking. The results show that vacancy dispersion coefficient, vacancy location coefficient, and other factors have significant impact on the decision of cruising mode. Setting different prices at different parking sections and timely publishing of parking space information can improve parking efficiency and promote normal traffic.
