A Simulation Approach for Analyzing Parking Space Availability at a Major University

Simulation is used to evaluate parking space availability for a current layout and for future design options at Miami University. By using simulation, an alternative design that increased the average number of parked cars and decreased the number of balked cars was derived. This paper describes the models developed and provides details on the analysis.
