| A variant of the RSPM has been developed to forecast demand for car parking in town and cities for National Car Parks. |
| Looking at three dominant trip types (retail (food & non-food), workplace and leisure), the Car Park Volume model forecasts usage by trip type for individual car parks. The Volume Model has proved an invaluable tool for forecasting demand for car parks, taking proper account of future changes to: |
 | roads |
| | retail |
| | leisure |
| | housing |
| | offices |
|
| After initial calibration, using data supplied by NCP, the demand model has provided a typical accuracy level of +/- 5% on car parks with annual visits of 50,000 per annum or more and is used to forecast car park demand looking forwards 5 years. |
| A further model, the Optimisation Model, has been developed to forecast the best locations and sizes for car parks. This is used as an aid to the bidding process for local authority car park contracts and for accurately evaluating NCP’s portfolio of sites. |
