Modelling parking demand in hospital
Farah Hayati Mustapa1, Muhammad Fikri Abdul Aziz2, Li, Sian Tey3.
The availability of adequate parking spaces in hospital environment has been
always an important factor to achieve a better traffic system. We study the
visitors’ demand for hospital parking. In the selected study areas of Serdang
Hospital, Sungai Buloh Hospital, Kulim Hospital and Seberang Jaya
Hospital, there are always complaining about lacking of parking supplied
which leads to illegal roadside parking that interrupting traffic flow of the
surrounding area. Lack of parking is mainly contributed by the increasing
number of patients visiting the hospital. The main objective of this study is to
develop a parking demand model based on the number of hospital beds as a
guide for relevant authorities. Linear regression method was used to develop
the model. Our findings show that, although extra parking has been provided
in some hospitals, the problem with illegal parking still happens.
