Capacity assessment and optimization of terminal curbside

Aimed at the severe congestion of terminal curbside,using the experience of parking model and capacity evaluation of single-way curbside,a capacity formula of double-way curbside with the consideration of the interrelationship of inside and outside curbside was set up.To enhance the curbside capacity,the taxi way was introduced to optimize the two-way curbside capacity.By setting up model and mathematical derivation,the formula to calculate the number of taxi way for capacity maximization of double-way curbside was educed.Using ServiceModel software,a simulation system for the capacity evaluation of double-way curbside was established.By comparing and validating the model results with lots of simulation results,it is indicated that taxi way can enhance the capacity of double-way curbside effectively.
