Scheme Objectives:
Peacock’s Car Park at Woking Town Centre is a major multi-storey car park providing a of total of 2311 parking spaces for Peacock Shopping Centre and the Woking Town Centre.

This is part of a study to improve the management and layout of this car park. The main elements of the study are the introduction of barriers at the entrances and the exits for ticket control and the
treatment of pedestrians.

VISSIM models were developed to assess the impacts of the various proposed improvement schemes. These included different layout design, various locations of entry and exit ticket barriers, different speed control and different type of pedestrian crossing facilities including Zebra crossings and pedestrian responsive signals.

Mayer Brown’s Role:

The main modelling tasks include:

• Collection and analysis survey data to establish vehicle and pedestrian movement patterns.
• Development of base models, including pedestrian activated signal control through Vehicle Actuated Programming (VAP), for vehicle and pedestrian peak periods in a typical Friday and Saturday.
• Evaluation of design and management options

Mayer Brown were then able to recommend important design features which helped to meet the client’s requirements.
