Major Low Density Features

Since 60% of new units built today are surface-parked, we decided to work hard on a solid surface-parked algorithm. It solves parking ratios, and generates realistic solutions for the lower-density market.

The major parameters for surface parked site plans include the following:

Parking Stall Parameters (Width and Depth)

Drive Aisle Parameters

Turn Radius Parameter

Maximum Stall Run Parameter

Internal Green Buffer Parameter

Just Want a Parking Lot? No Problem
