Analysis and optimization of the development of car parking lots in apartment building quarters (an example of panevezys city)

Cars are the most important in the urban transport system. The increasing number of cars is causing more and more problems with parking, inevitable and environmental pollution. More and more cars are being built right on the roadside, in playgrounds, on footpath sand on the sidewalk. The development of car parking in cities is much slower than the number of cars is growing, so it is important to find the most effective ways to optimize such research. The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the possibilities of application of remote sensing methods and GIS modeling for analysis and development of car parking lots in apartment building quarters. In the course of the research were surveyed the residents of Panevezys towns, who living in apartment building quarters, were collected the data on the number of cars near apartment building buildings, were separated the most problematic apartment courtyards in Panevezys. Structure of the work: introduction, three parts (review of previous research, methodology, results), conclusions, literature and information sources, summary in Lithuanian and English languages, and appendixes. In the results section is analyzing and in the cartogram maps is presenting the distribution of the number of cars in apartment building quarters. From the orthophotography and drone orthomosaic was established a change of the boundaries of parking areas. Using the ArcGIS Model Builder interface has been created a GIS model, which detects a new places of car parking. This sequence of actions allows automating the development of car parking lots. The application of remote sensing methods to the analysis of car parking lots reduces the time and labor costs. This allows faster identification of parking spaces and fulfill their expansion. The most problematic apartment quarters in Panevezys are in the western part of the city, where newly built houses predominate as compared to the rest of the city. For many people its hard to find a free place near the apartment building quarters from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and they are forced to park cars in unauthorized places. The least shortage of parking places is fixed in the central apartment building quarters. It has been noticed that one of the most effective ways to reduce the lack of parking spaces is equipment the new car parking lots of 60 ° and 45 ° the angle near the streets. The city of Panevezys has enough good opportunities to expand parking lots in apartment building quarters. The study methodology for car parking lots and GIS model is appropriate for addressing the lack of parking spaces in apartment building quarters and can assist municipalities developing new special plans for car parking space in apartment buildings quarters. At the end of the thesis there are presented suggestions for optimization of evaluation and development research of car parking lots in apartment building quarters
