Parking of cars comprises the most acute and growing problem of big modern
cities. Up to the present time the problem has not found its solution.
Inconvenience and expenditures are growing.
In various countries the problem of cities was solved by building detour
roads, subways, railway stations in the center of cities; and also by
constructing stationary building-garages. And finally, administrative
measures were undertaken, such as prohibition signs, fines, arrests of
cars etc. which came into conflict with comfort and demands of citizens.
In its final form, the proposal combines the increase of traffic
capacity of city streets, reduction of traffic jams and what is very important,
provides a convenience of a close car parking for center residents and
guests. This presents an alternative to fines.
It is proposed to consider the city as a single complex: i.e. parking
space where a through traffic of motor transport is arranged over the
whole city at 40-60 km/h. This is achieved by means of stage-by-stage
and successive freeing of the city streets, that were specified in advance,
from the cars parked on their sides, by making "parking modules". "Parking
modules" comprise a constituent part of parking space and are placed along
the streets on the land that is within the municipality jurisdiction and
as a rule is not required for economic activities. In "the parking module"
a point automatic module for 10-15 car parking places is set up in the
underground implementation (or what is worse - in the aboveground or semi-underground
implementation). The estimate shows that a possibility of placing 100
- 240 cars along the length of one kilometer presents no problem.
It is not known to the author about the problem being solved anywhere
by means of such discrete multi-story automatic modules. The presentation
sheet and general view of the design for automatic module of parking car
is attached. The module is well developed with respect to stories and
as a whole is universal. It is adjusted for being arranged in various
parts of the city: it can be built in the structure, annexed to the buildings
and also it can be in blind alleys, on the ground surface, underground,
semi-buried, on the ramps of the buildings etc. as well as along the roads.
Design for arranging parking places allows finding solutions not
available earlier, which complements the known ones but does not rule
them out. It allows reducing ecological tension of the city by a reasonable
usage of the areas where asphalt was removed. For example, This is achieved
by setting up green zones, lawns, "domestic" stadiums close to residential
areas, public places such as hospitals, municipal buildings, theaters,
stadiums, exhibition areas, zones for rest etc.
Business-plan
Section: Calculation of number of parking places for getting US $1
000 000 annual income (calculation for 1 000 000)
The calculation of US $1 000 000 annual income is of obvious interest
in the preliminary economic calculation.
1. Conditions of the problem:
- Period under review..........................................................
1 year;
- Cost of 1 parking hour..........................................................US$1;
- Number of working days a year.....................................340
days;
- Coefficient of filling up the parking.........................................0.75;
- Number of places in the parking module........................10 places;
2. The number of parking places is calculated:
n1 = 1 000 000 : (1 õ 340 õ (10 õ 0,75)) = 392 parking places
3. The number of parking modules:
N1=392:10 =39.2 modules.
4. The sum of a day income and an hour income is not without interest:
D1 day = 1 000 000 : 340 = US $2941.18 a day D1hour = 2941.2 : 10 = US
$294.12 an hour
5. With due regard for taxes 60% (coefficient 1.6) the rated values are:
n1 = 392 x 1.6 = 627 packing places
N1= 627: 10 =63 modules
D1 day= 2941.18 : 1.6 =$4705.9/day
D1 hour ==4705.9 : 10= $470.6 /hour
Conclusion: The reality of US $1 000 000 annual income is obvious to the interested
person under the condition of exploitation of 63 modules each having 10 parking places and parking hour cost US $1.
The method allows to determine the calculation of the annual income depending
on the level of taxes pressure and other conditions.
Business-plan
Section: Calculation of number of parking modules that are placed
on one km of a street. (Calculation for 1 km)
The conditions of US $1 000 000 profit for 63 modules was shown in the
section "Calculation for 1 000 000" . In this section we make a comparative
analysis of the possibility of maximum number of modules on 1 km of
street with necessary number of modules in the same street; we determinate
the length of the street taking in consideration placing of modules
for "Calculation for 1 000 000" (see the sheet of presentation)
1. Conditions of a problem:
- Length of a street........................................................................1km;
- Distance between parking cars....................................................7m;
- Number of parking places in a module...........................................10;
2. Maximum number of cars parking on 1 km of a street (on one side):
n1= 1000: 7= 142.86 cars
2.1 on both sides of the street:
n2 = 142 x 2 = 284 cars
3. Maximum number of modules on 1 km:
N = 284 : 10 = 28.4 modules = 28 modules
4. Distance between modules:
l= (1000õ2) :28 ==71.4m
5. Necessary length of a street for "Calculation for 1 000 000" or for
placing of 63 modules:
L = 63 : 28 = 2.25 km = 2.5 km
Conclusion: Maximum number of modules on 1 km of a street - 28, the
distance between the modules - 71.4 m. It is enough to suppose placing
of 100-200 parking places on one km of the street or 10-20 modules with the distance between them
100-200 m. The necessary length of a street
for "Calculation for 1 000 000" is 2.5-3 km.
