Abstract

Infrastructure transformations in the cities, including the creation of pedestrian zones, reconstruction of street networks, adjustments to land-use regulations, and the introduction of new transport facilities — often lead to significant spatial shifts in parking demand. Without adequate planning, such changes trigger secondary overloads in adjacent districts, increase cruising time in search of available spaces, intensify local congestion, and contribute to environmental degradation. This article presents an analytical study of contemporary approaches to assessing and redistributing parking demand, focusing on statistical models (gravity-based models, regression methods, behavioral logit models) and infrastructure-oriented management tools (TAZ-based zoning, parking hubs, supply adjustments, pricing strategies).

The research includes a synthesis of international research, comparative evaluation of model effectiveness, and the construction of a demonstration scenario for an urban-scale baseline model applied to a hypothetical city. The results show that combining analytical demand-allocation models with practical infrastructure measures enables predictable redistribution of excess parking loads, reduces pressure on central areas, and optimizes the overall performance of the urban transport system. The practical significance of this work lies in forming recommendations for street transformation projects, planning parking hubs, and implementing differentiated pricing policies while taking spatial demand dynamics into account. The proposed approach can be used by municipal authorities, parking operators, and transport-planning professionals to improve parking-resource management and support sustainable urban mobility.
