Abstract
In recent years excessive amounts of parking search time has been identified as a significant contributor to urban congestion and as an important influence in destination choice, in particular for shopping. Recent studies of parking behaviour have found that parking search time can constitute up to 25% of the average total travel time (Polak and Axhausen, 1990). Anecdotal evidence indicates even higher shares. The same studies also indicated that car drivers value parking search time at about 1.5 to 2 times of the value of driving time (Axhausen and Polak, 1991). This substantial increase in the generalized cost of travel diminishes the competitive position of city centres giving rise to concern for European policy makers. Show more
