Reducing the Environmental Load on Urbanized Areas by Optimizing the Parking Lots Location

Abstract

Currently, the problem of organizing permanent car storage places is relevant due to the high growth rate of motorization in the world. At the same time, excessively large Parking lots have a negative impact on the environment. The article considers various types of Parking lots and the main factors of their impact on the environment. A map of dispersion of emissions of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide (II), total hydrocarbons for the city of Naberezhnye Chelny is constructed. To calculate the amount of emissions from one car in the Parking lot, a model is built in the AnyLogic simulation environment. The relationships between the number of Parking spaces and the amount of emissions from cars in the Parking lot were calculated and analyzed. It has been experimentally established that the more Parking spaces in a Parking lot, the longer cars search for Parking and, consequently, the more impact on the environment.
