The utilization of some parking facilities is high, while the utilization of other parking facilities is low. The goal of this study is to improve utilization of all parking facilities through real-time dissemination of parking facility occupancy information. The dissemination of information will help influence travel patterns and improve operational performance at intersections within the vicinity of over-utilized parking facilities. The objective of this study is to develop and compare traffic analysis scenarios that will help determine minimum thresholds (percent of traffic) for influencing travel patterns. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is considered as the case study. The traffic volume data for the year 2017 was collected using traffic counters, while parking facilities locations and occupancy data was obtained from the Parking and Transportation Services (PaTS) unit. The results obtained from traffic analyses indicate that influencing at least 20% of the traffic through the installation of Variable Message Signs (VMSs) and directing traffic to use under-utilized parking facilities will not only improve circulation near the over-utilized parking facilities but will also reduce delay and the number of stops at nearby intersections.
