OPTIMIZATION OF THE USE OF URBAN TERRITORIES FOR PARKING THROUGH MODELING METHODS OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEMS AND MINIMIZATION OF CAPITAL COSTS

Abstract

Optimization of the use of urban areas for parking is one of the key tasks of modern urban planning, as the rapid growth of motorization leads to a shortage of parking spaces and congestion of the street and road network. The growth of the number of vehicles in cities creates serious spatial and organizational problems that negatively affect the mobility of the population, the environmental situation and the general level of comfort. In this regard, there is a need to find innovative solutions that will allow for the most efficient use of existing urban areas without significant expansion of development.

The article considers traditional and modern methods of organizing parking, taking into account the geometric features of the areas and spatial restrictions. Particular attention is paid to the prospects for the implementation of multi-level parking systems that can significantly increase the number of parking spaces in a limited area. A comparison of horizontal parking schemes and vertical mechanized structures allows us to assess their advantages and disadvantages, taking into account both spatial and economic factors.

An approach to modeling car placement processes is proposed, which allows assessing the efficiency of territory use and determining optimal options for increasing the capacity of parking lots. Using the example of mechanized multi-level structures, the possibility of increasing the number of parking spaces from 10 to 30 without additional expansion of the territory is considered. The modeling allows predicting the impact of the proposed solutions on the city's transport system and determining the most appropriate options for their implementation.

Separately, the economic feasibility of using multi-level systems is analyzed, which consists in minimizing capital costs while simultaneously increasing the functionality and accessibility of parking infrastructure. The results obtained can be used by local governments to develop programs for the development of parking areas, by design organizations to optimize spatial solutions, as well as by investors to assess the profitability of investments in the construction of parking lots. The implementation of such approaches will contribute to increasing the efficiency of urban space management and creating comfortable conditions for residents.
