This is one of a series of six reports describing simplified aids to improve transportation decisions without resorting to computers or extensive data collection. The analytical aid described in this report provides a method for estimating the accumulation of parked vehicles within a study area over the course of a typical weekday. Parking accumulation and utilization of parking facilities may be estimated for all parkers, long-term parkers, and/or short-term parkers, based on an estimate of daily automobile trip destinations, an inventory of available parking supply, and a set of parking 'accumulation factors' which may be derived from a parking survey within the study area. The primary use of the parking accumulation estimation method is to analyze the adequacy of available parking supply in relation to expected parking demand. The method may also be used to monitor and suggest revisions to automobile travel impedance values used in transportation planning models.
