ABSTRACT
Parking is an integral function ofmechanizedmobility, to keep inwaiting, andmaintain available vehicles that are used to connect the places where its user(s) carries out his or her activities. Reciprocally, for a building accommodating an economic or social activity (e.g. shop, service), the availability of parking places close by provides access opportunities for “clients’’ from further afield and thus determines a recruitment area for potential customers. For this reason, both customers and “suppliers’’ of activities are interested in parking and the availability of places for two-or four-wheeled vehicles. In urban environments, these places aremobility facilities that may be private (in a private building), semi-public (e.g. shop car park) or public (on a road or in a special car park), but are always located on a territory. When space is scarce, facilities are more likely to be built constructions; in densely populated environments, “parking silos’’ constructed underground or as a superstructure can be implemented to provide large capacities.
