Macroscopic Modeling of On-Street and Garage Parking: Impact on Traffic Performance by Manuel Jakob, Monica Menendez

“…In this paper, we develop a macroscopic on-street and garage parking decision model and integrate it into a traffic system with an on-street and garage parking search model over time. We formulate an on-street and garage parking-state-based matrix that describes the system dynamics of urban traffic based on different parking-related states and the number of vehicles that transition through each state in a time slice. …”
