| Summary: | In present years, many cities face way more challenges than before especially those related to the mobility of people and land usage. Parking management which links transportation and land use is one of the most challenging problems to encounter. Parking can be a nuisance when there is a shortage of available parking spaces, especially during peak hours. The main challenge is the scarcity and management of parking spaces. This is because of the unmet demand due to lack of parking spaces and ineffective use of available facilities. It is a common issue in overcrowding area where drivers need to face this critical situation as the parking spaces provided are not enough to support the increasing number of the automobile on roads due to economic growth. KTMB Ipoh faced the same situation especially during peak hours where the parking area is always congested with drivers who drive in circles to find parking spot. The average time spent by drivers to find the parking spot is estimated to be half an hour. Thus, this research is done to help the parking management team to improvise the efficiency of parking spaces provided to optimize the parking area. Furthermore, the purpose of this study is to maximize the number of parking. A firefly algorithm method is used to find the maximum number of parking lot that can optimize the parking area. It is shown that with the current parking area, the number of parking spaces can be increased by 48 lanes which can optimize the parking spaces to the fullest. |
