Towards sustainable parking

: decision making of governmental and commercial stakeholders

Abstract

Sustainability of the urban environment highly depends on the pollution and emissions caused by mobility. Recently, attention is growing on sustainability in relation with parking. As a result, the parking industry and government are embracing a large number of developments. In order to successfully cooperate in projects, municipalities and parking operators should focus on the most promising developments. MDCA and AHP provide decision criteria which are used to evaluate six important sustainable developments in parking. The final ranking of developments results in a first priority for 'introduction of electronical navigation, way finding and payment systems' by both stakeholder groups.
