Parking alert (Panel)

This article is a stub.

General

The parking alert warns users when the amount of parking facilities in a given neighborhood is insufficient to comply with general demand or legislative requirements. The alert appears in the 3D world, indicating that the neighborhood the alert is over does not have enough parking spots. This alert is useful for:

• Urban development project with broad relevant aspects, but where parking should not affect overall score
• Environments with varying rates of required parking compliance

The alert will appear when the amount of parking facilities required exceed the amount of parking facilities provided. The resulting panel will display the availability, demand, compliance rate, and remaining demand.

Panel

The parking alert.

The alert shows the following information:

• The amount of parking facilities available.
• The amount of parking facilities demanded.
• The current compliance rate.
• The mandated compliance rate.
• The amount of parking facilities which need to be added to meet the mandated compliance rate.

Calculation

$C_{c}=P_{c}/P_{d}$

The panels appears when $C_{c}<C_{d}$

where

• $P_{c}$ is the current amount of parking lots
• $P_{d}$ is the amount of parking lots demanded
• $C_{c}$ is the current compliance rate
• $C_{d}$ is the mandated compliance rate

The mandated compliance rate is set by the neighborhood's REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE_RATE attribute. If the neighborhood does not have that attribute, the mandated compliance rate is equal to the compliance target of the Parking Indicator. If there is no such indicator in the project, the mandated compliance rate is 1.

Configuration

The Parking alert will work out-of-the-box. It should be loaded into the project as a Template Panel, and templated on Neighborhoods.

For additional configuration, a neighborhood can be provided with a REQUIRED_PARKING_COMPLIANCE__RATE attribute.
