Parking snapshot occupancy and turnover calculator

Calculate mean observed occupancy and peak observed occupancy with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use mean observed occupancy and peak observed occupancy to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Mean observed occupancy (%)

Mean and peak snapshot occupancy; unique vehicles/space gives survey turnover, then divide by duration.

Peak observed occupancy (%)

Mean and peak snapshot occupancy; unique vehicles/space gives survey turnover, then divide by duration.

Vehicles per space per survey

Mean and peak snapshot occupancy; unique vehicles/space gives survey turnover, then divide by duration.

Turnover (vehicles/space/hour)

Mean and peak snapshot occupancy; unique vehicles/space gives survey turnover, then divide by duration.

Symbols and units
a
Parking spaces (count)
b
Occupied spaces at equally spaced observations
c
Unique vehicles recorded during survey (count)
d
Survey length (hours)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Mean and peak snapshot occupancy; unique vehicles/space gives survey turnover, then divide by duration. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
