Parking Meso-Modeling Review - A Discipline-Based Approach

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review and classify the literature on Parking Meso-Modeling over the last few years. It provides a comprehensive assessment of modeling application regarding the research articles published between 2010 and 2019. For this purpose, we followed a systematic literature approach of researches that focuses primarily on mesoscopic parking modelling. From 71 articles identified only 22 papers met the inclusion criteria were synthesized in the form of a summary tables and classified according to 2 criteria: Parking Supply-Demand Balance Meso-Modeling (Including Park and Ride facilities) and Parking Decision-Making based on Vehicle, Road and User Behavior Meso-Modeling (Including Cost Estimation), thus, the table provide several information related to the model as: Discipline, Model Name, Year, Description, Objective, Main feature and the Tool or approach used. As a result, a synthetic table that groups the key parking meso-modeling by discipline are presented. Allowing researchers to have a clear idea of what can be added to this field and what can be done to remediate the parking problems in specific urban area.
