In this paper,
parking lots and pedestrian way effects on the queue length and emissions in
the new campus of Adana Science and Technology University were investigated. Three
different parking capacities were compared as 15, 10 and no parking lots.
Microsimulation software called VISSIM was used to evaluate parking lots and
pedestrian way effects. Queue length and vehicular emissions are two main
parameters that were analyzed. The simulation results showed that emission
values decrease as queue length values decrease. In addition, according to simulation
results when 10 parking lots are allowed instead of 15, queue length has decreased
as 6,815%, and emissions (such as CO, NOx) have decreased as 3,86%. If no
parking is allowed instead of 10 parking lots, queue length has decreased as 86,63%,
and emissions have decreased as 54,29%.
