“…Second, for the mobility dimension, delayed buses were the most critical problem for passengers, agreeing with the finding acquired by Gu et al (2014). Moreover, ''bus lines have too many stops'' and ''lack of frequent bus service on weekends and at night'' were also important.…”

“…Additionally, some studies have also focused on other externalities of on-street parking such as the impacts of cruising for parking [8], and the interactions between parking and traffic performance [9]. Similar studies on bus stop locations can be found in the work by Gu et al [10,11].…”

Summary An on‐street parking maneuver can often start a temporary bottleneck, leading to additional delay endured by the following vehicles. If the maneuver occurs near a signalized intersection, the service rate of the intersection might be reduced. In this paper, a model is built to analyze the effects of parking maneuvers on the intersection service rate. Based on the hydrodynamic theory of traffic flow, the perturbation caused by the parking maneuver is analyzed. Using dimensional analysis, we illustrate the relation between the background conditions, the distance from the parking area to the intersection, and the intersection service rate. Based on this relation, one can compute the service rate reduction caused by existing on‐street parking areas. A minimum distance between the parking area and the intersection to avoid such reduction can be accordingly found. Numerical examples based on empirical data from the city of Zurich, Switzerland, are provided to illustrate the practical applications. Although the analysis is based on streets with a single lane per direction, the findings can provide some insights regarding different situations. We hope such findings can be used as a basis for developing on‐street parking design guidelines. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…On the other hand, Xiaofei et al (2011) studied the delay caused by on-street parking allowed at signalized intersections. Similar research by Gu et al (2014) has been applied to bus stops near signalized intersections. The influence of parking availability on traffic performance (speed and density) has also investigated by Cao et al (2015).…”

For transportation and traffic designers, the existence of a method to convert effective vehicles into reference Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) is an essence. Both legal and illegal on-street parking events are associated with manoeuvre during entering or leaving the parking spot. This manoeuvre is highly affecting the traffic performance of the street link. This paper introduces a method for determining the Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) for vehicles that perform a manoeuvre for on-street parking. The M/M/∞ queuing model together with the Greenshield traffic state model are used to estimate the effect of the delay and the capacity drop caused by a manoeuvring event on the traffic flow continuity in case of entering or leaving a legal and illegal on-street parking space. Two design charts are introduced to show the values of the average passenger car equivalent for different manoeuvre times and manoeuvring frequencies combinations for both legal and illegal parking types. PCE values of vehicles manoeuvre for legal parking experience fluctuation throughout the link's volume to capacity (D-C) ranges. It is found that, for lower D-C ratios and up to D-C of about 0.33, PCE of vehicles manoeuvre for legal parking types shows a slight upward trend. The smallest PCE of vehicles manoeuvre for legal parking is noticed at D-C of nearly 0.41. Then, the increase of D-C is accompanied with an increase of PCE supported by the increase of the link's average travel time. During manoeuvring for illegal on-street parking, the section loses one more lane capacity for the duration of the manoeuvre. Thus, the traffic demand outrace the capacity at D-C of about 0.69 which is earlier than the case of legal parking which influences the PCE value. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the time of the manoeuvring event is the major cause of uncertainty in the predicted PCE of a parking manoeuvring vehicle.
