Car Park Designers' Handbook - Civil Engineering Reference

The Car Park Designers' Handbook serves as the only comprehensive reference for car park layout design. This essential guide for civil engineering professionals features more than 75 3D scale drawings that explain individual strengths and weaknesses of various designs. Beyond layout, the book covers the practical design of parking elements such as ramps, stalls, and traffic aisles. It provides necessary guidance on security, fire escape requirements, drainage, signage, and barrier control. The updated edition addresses modern needs by including information on optimum entry and exit locations, as well as provision for charging hybrid and electrically powered vehicles, a topic that is currently poorly addressed in existing literature. This handbook is a vital resource for anyone involved in road and transport engineering projects.
