Impact of the additional parking space on parallel parking maneuver time

Abstract

The study reports the effect of additional parking space for the tandem parking upstream stall and downstream stall to reduce parking maneuver time compare with conventional parallel parking maneuver time. The experiments involving 295 students of Petra Christian University. Results indicate that, added one-meter additional parking space could reduce total maneuver time up to 29% for the upstream stall and 31% for the downstream stall, and also reduce 8% income from on-street parking fee, but also will reduce 35% loss due to the delay time caused by parallel parking maneuver.
