| Abstract | ||
| Generally, Advanced Parking Management Systems (APMS) use Variable Message Signs (VMS) to provide drivers with updated information on the number of open spaces at selected off-street parking facility to minimize or avoid parking search traffic within a full car park facility, and reduce the delay times at the entrance and exit gates of a parking facility. The simulation model STARSIM-VMS is developed, in the present study, to simulate the operation of a designed parking garage with the implementation of the VMS technology. The simulation results show that the delay values is smallest than that predicted without using the VMS technique, especially at the high proportions of vehicles waiting to park. These results reflect the importance of using the VMS in the transportation systems. | ||
