Parking Management The Loop

2012
TML developed optimal principles for future parking management at The Loop, where a major urban development is planned. This included organising thematic working groups and preparing a roadmap with operational principles and scenarios for traffic management and parking distribution.
The IVA Mobility Company for the City of Ghent went through an intensive process to establish the optimal principles of the future parking management at The Loop site.
The site The Loop is strategically located between the E40 and R4 motorways and already includes major commercial activities as well as the Flanders Expo exhibition complex. A major urban development will take place here, within which a variety of functions - ranging from offices to retail and leisure - will find their place. The developments will bring more traffic and consequently cause high parking pressure. To promote mobility, there is therefore a need for well-functioning parking management, whereby the general interest prevails. The management approach should fit into an overall sustainable mobility strategy for the site. This involves striking a balance between the insights of the various project developers and urban perspectives such as sustainable mobility and urban development.
TML supported the Mobility Company in organising a number of thematic working groups to reach a consensus as a basis for efficient and feasible parking management. In the process, a roadmap was drawn up with the operational principles to implement this parking management in practice, which can be used as a tool for the future parking manager of The Loop site. It contains scenarios for traffic management and for the optimal distribution of parking across the site, both for regular and exceptional pressure moments and for accidents.
