Question

How can I model parking in PTV Vissim?

Answer

These are the options for the use of the network element Parking Lot:

1. For the use of static routes:
Modelling roadside parking and pick-up/drop-off lanes.
Any orientation, e.g parallel, diagonal and perpendicular parking lots can be modelled.

2. For Dynamic Assignment:
Modelling origins and destinations of trips. A Logit-based parking lot choice model is implemented in Vissim. Details can be found in the Vissim user manual.
