Implementation Condition And Planning Methods Of P&R System In Metropolitans

Parking is an important part of static traffic. But for a long time, parking facilities planning did not have enough attention. Along with quick urbanization and motorization developing, urban areas of cities in China have been experiencing a significant increase in traffic congestion. At this point, only strengthen the transport infrastructure construction or improve the road network capacity can not meet traffic demand, thus introducing the concept of the Park and Ride. Practice from abroad shows that as a means and policy of traffic demand management, Park and Ride can reduce urban central area traffic congestion.This paper provide a more suitable planning approach for our Park and Ride system referring to the advanced foreign experience and the actual situation of China's largest city. The mainly contents of this dissertation includes:1. Study and practice situation of P&R is expounded. Basic theories of P&R including definition, development , type of role and positive and negative effects are introduced briefly2. P&R implement conditions is analyzed using logic and model describe method. Then a feasibility analysis of P&R in Beijing is carried out.3. P&R acting process is described. And impact factors of P&R choice are analyzed by the RP/SP survey.4. The design issues of P&R system, including the layout of the site, the demand forecasts and the planning evaluation are solved.5. Some relevant policy of P&R is researched at the last.The focus and difficult of this paper is combined with the actual traffic situation of Beijing, do the Park and Ride system site selection and needs analysis of Beijing Huilongguan area, and use TransCAD software simulate the effects on the planned Park and Ride facility.
