The Hong Kong second parking demand study

This paper describes the background, objectives, surveys, models, findings and recommendations of the Hong Kong second parking demand study. This study aims to give strategic directions to guide the planning and management of parking facilities in Hong Kong. It comprises extensive surveys to determine the parking inventory, parking characteristics and driver behaviour. Demand models were developed to predict the future night-time and daytime parking demand over a planning horizon of 15 years. All types of vehicle, including private cars, taxis, motorcycles, coaches and goods vehicles, were included in the analysis. The recommendations of a previous parking demand study have been reviewed, and new recommendations are given.published_or_final_versio
