A Systematic Approach for Redesigning Parking Systems for an Urban Campus Using Discrete Event Simulation

Maggelet, Nathan Philip

Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Akron, Mechanical Engineering.
Parking congestion has always been a problem which faces urban planners and cities governments across the United States. One area where this issue is extremely relevant is in the planning and expansion of urban colleges and universities which have a commuter population. This research contains a case study of the parking dynamics at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. Data will be collected which will provide the researcher with a better understanding of the parking dynamics at the university. Once the data is compiled it will be used to construct a discrete event simulation model which replicates the current state of the parking scenario at the university. Hypothetical scenarios will be run with the model once the current state model has been validated. The purpose of this research is to show the advantage of using discrete event simulation in parking analysis.
