Abstract

Car drivers often cruise to find cheap spaces or immediately available spaces with low speed. Car cruising is usually caused by the situation that on-street parking is free but all the spaces are occupied, and off-street parking is expensive but immediately available. In this case, cruising behavior can increase traffic congestion as well as energy consumption and environmental burden. Aiming to analyze the behavior of cruising for on-street parking, an empirical study is performed to explore the factors on the cruising behavior. Based on the analysis of the correlation between the cruising time, parking duration, walking time after parking and parking price, etc., the economic leverage model is established. A case study in Zhongguancun area of Beijing is conducted to calibrate and validate the model. The results are hoped to give a better understanding of balancing parking behavior between on-street parking and off-street parking using the economic means.
