Stretching Rubber, Not Budgets: Accurate Parking Utilization on a Shoestring
Effective parking management is essential for ensuring accessibility, safety, and convenience in master-planned communities, particularly in active adult neighborhoods experiencing rapid growth. Accurately assessing parking utilization is a crucial first step in planning for future demand, but data collection methods can be costly and labor-intensive. This paper presents a low-cost yet highly accurate methodology for measuring parking utilization using road tubes connected to portable traffic counters from JAMAR Technologies, Inc. By integrating results from JAMAR's analysis tool with custom Python scripting, the methodology enables precise parking lot counts through parameter optimization and automated error correction. The system's efficiency allows for scalable deployment without significant manual observation, reducing both costs and disruptions to daily operations. Using Tellico Village as a case study, this research demonstrates that community planners can obtain actionable parking insights on a limited budget, empowering them to make informed decisions about capacity expansion, traffic flow improvements, and facility scheduling. The findings underscore the feasibility of leveraging cost-effective technology to optimize infrastructure planning and ensure long-term resident satisfaction as communities grow.
