Elsevier Sustainable Parking Management: Practices, Policies, and Metrics

Product Description Sustainable Parking Management provides the latest research findings in the field, encouraging transport planners and policymakers to use parking policy as a tool for managing parking and transport systems. The book teaches up-to-date parking management techniques for selecting parking policies and understanding parking behavior when faced with policy interventions. It shows when to apply each policy, how to include user attitudes in policy definition, and how to model user behavior when refining parking policies. In addition, it stresses the need to reduce overall city driving and the need to allow users to choose the transport mode that best suits their needs. As the growth of cities and car dependency worldwide has led to parking problems resulting in increased traffic congestion, pollution, and overall urban chaos, this book creates a model to help deal with the fallout. Review Introduces parking practices and policies for reducing transportation-related congestion and pollution while encouraging urban vitality and economic efficiency From the Back Cover The growth of cities and car dependency worldwide has led to parking problems resulting in increased traffic congestion, pollution, and overall urban chaos. Although most cities use parking time limits and fees to address these problems, parking policy is inadequately defined and an overlooked research area, especially in comparison to other transportation-related policies. Sustainable transportation systems emphasize quality of life and reducing negative impacts from transport activities, and parking policy is a very powerful instrument ranking high on the urban political agenda and in the transport planning process. Sustainable Parking Management: Practices, Policies, and Metrics provides the latest research findings in the field, encouraging transport planners and policy makers to use parking policy as a tool for managing parking and transport system in general. The book teaches up-to-date parking management techniques for selecting parking policies and understanding parking behavior when faced with policy interventions. The book shows when to apply which policy, how to include user attitudes in policy definition, and how to model user behavior when refining parking policies. It stresses the need to reduce city driving overall and for users to choose the transport mode that best suits their needs, contributing significantly to more sustainable and livable cities.
