Assessment of parking demand impact on adjoining roadway network

In Malaysia, as in many developed countries, the increase in demand for car parks usually outstrips the supply, especially in the inner cities and at shopping malls. Although vehicles using off street parking do not directly interact with traffic flow, it is common knowledge that on exit from the ca...
