Reasonably accurate estimates of freight and service activity (FSA) provide important information on the locations of major FSA centres and their public space needs. These estimates can be used to quantify commercial (freight and service) parking needs for commercial streets, buildings, and the like.

 

Indicate the number of loading bays needed for a commercial centre that houses the following ten establishments:

 

Establishment ID	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
NAICS	31	32	42	42	44	44	45	45	48	48
Number of full-time employees	12	5	5	13	6	8	10	8	5	4
Number of part-time employees	4	8	4	8	3	10	6	5	4	6
Geography	NYC & CR

 

Use "Non-Linear Models" in Holguín-Veras et al. (2016)Guidebook for your calculation and consider the following assumptions:

 

• Delivery and service vehicles occupy the parking space for 0.35hr and 1.2hrs, respectively.
• 15% of totalservice trips and 30% of the total freight trip generation (FTG) occur during the peak hour;
• 1 service call = 1 vehicletrip
• 1 delivery = 1 vehicle trip
• 2 shipments = 1 vehicletrip
