Abstract
In 2008, there are 135 service areas, which provide for drivers to convenience on expressways. But there are some problems on parking capacity, because it is failed to calculate the appropriate parking lots of the service area. The fundamental problem is that the size of parking lots is calculated by simple value; despite there are various factors of utilization, congestion, and turnover. This paper describes a study on proper coefficient for calculating the appropriate service area, considering the characteristics of drivers' behavior. We conducted statistical analysis with the surveyed data in "Status of the expressway facilities in 2004." Analysis results show there are some difference by day and night, and vehicle type with the factor of utilization, congestion, and turnover, and there are different usages according to expressway route. The results indicate that the usage of a service area have different characteristics by time and space, and vehicle type.
