The report describes a series of full-scale investigations into the dynamic characteristics of car parks, undertaken to assist architects and planners of multi-storey and other car parks to calculate the dimensions and to plan the facilities required for well-balanced and efficient parks into which cars will flow rapidly and smoothly, and from which they will discharge without unnecessary delay to drivers, while at the same time providing high static capacities. The investigations covered the following fields: measurement of inflow capacities of 90 degrees - stall/aisle systems in terms of aisle width, stall width, stall depth and percentage of drivers reversing into stalls in straight one-way-only aisles, zig-zag aisles and cul-de-sac aisles; the outflow capacities of similar systems; the effects of aisle width, stall width, stall depth, stall angle, of parking on left or right of aisle, and of the kind of aisle on the percentage of drivers reversing into the stalls; the stall widths adopted by drivers parking in sucessive 90 degree - stalls in the absence of markings; the capacities of ramps; the capacities of aisles; the capacities of gates of various kinds; move-up times and service-times at cash-kiosks; reservoirs at entrances and exits; the capacities of bends and junctions; and the effect on average parking time of aisle width, stall width, stall depth and system occupancy in one-way-only and cul-de-sac 90 degrees - stall/aisle systems.
