| Summary: | Parking facilities within the vicinity of De La Salle University-Manila are increasing in demand but the capacity is always limited to accommodate few automobiles at a time from the dozens of students, faculty, and staff members coming to the institution. As a result, alternatives such as on-street parking and idling contributes to traffic not to mention inconveniences brought by these alternatives and its effects. Hence, statistical analysis and data gathering were conducted on mostly frequented parking facilities with a high rate of turnover per quarter of an hour which determines the most probable facility to find a parking space during peak hours. Tha parking facilities observed were the Gonzales Hall and the Razon Sports Complex of the University, Harrison Plaza, Green Court, McDonalds-Taft, Beach parking area, Barn parking area, Leon Guinto parking and Burgundy condominium with a vehicular capacity of 94, 242, 334, 48, 25, 100, 34, 84 and 40 respectively. To generalize the findings for the several parking facilities around campus, a program called Quantum Global Information System (QGIS) is used to create a visual representation of the vicinity including parking spaces available. The software would benefit the community as it aims to inform car parkers of the availability of various parking facilities including available slots and the turnover rate. |
