Abstract

Parking is a key part of any transportation program. University is facing the problem of not being able to fulfil the demand of the parking lots to meet the students' needs. Based on the statistics, in a certain university, the number of engineering students is variable over the past five years and mostly is in increasing, while the number of parking spaces at engineering college men's parking has been stable over these five years. In this study, the current situation in the engineering college men's parking conditions of that university has been analysed and evaluated using simulation. This study has implemented a discrete event simulation model and data collection techniques to help in rational decision-making to figure out what might be the best solution for the parking lots. Verification and validation for the acquired model have also been conducted.
