Parking Lot Design

Use this function to design and draw parking lots along the selected baseline.

  • Parking lots can be designed parallel, perpendicular, or at a desired angle to the baseline.

  • The total length of the parking lot will also be calculated (depending on the number of vehicles, length/width, and angle of parking) and displayed.

  • The parking lot will be drawn to the current layer.

Run the function from the following locations:

MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Tools: Parking Lot Design

MOUS_ICO Menu: Road > Tools > Parking Lot Design

Command prompts for:

Pick a baseline:

Select the reference line (road edge line of the carriageway or shoulder/line/arc/polyline/Quadri object), along which the parking lot is to be designed.

  • A preview of the parking lot with default values will be shown.

  • The dialog Parking Lot Design will pop up.

Vehicle

Select the design vehicle from the pull-down menu for the parking area.

  • The length and width required to park the selected design vehicle will be displayed in the fields Length and Width (meters).

Parking Lot

  • Chainage - Define the start chainage for a parking lot.

    • The start chainage can also be selected from CAD using the button Move.

  • Count - Define the number of vehicles for parking using the spin buttons or enter the numeric value.

  • Length (meter) - Define the length of the parking area for each vehicle.

    • The default length depends on the selected design vehicle.

  • Width (meter) - Define the width of the parking area for each vehicle.

    • The default length depends on the selected design vehicle.

  • Distance between (meter) - Define the minimum gap to be provided between adjacent parking slots.

  • Angle - Define the angle (grad) of parking at the edit field.

    • For parallel parking, define 0.

    • For perpendicular parking, define 100.

  • Total width (meter) - The function calculates the total length/width required for the parking lot depending on the angle of the parking lot, number of vehicles, length/width of parking slot, and the gap between parking slots. The total width will be displayed in this field.

Swap side

  • The orientation of the parking lot with respect to the reference line is to be defined.

  • Mark the desired radio button.

Move

  • The parking lot can be guided to the desired chainage by moving the cursor/mouse of CAD.

  • To fasten the parking lot again click the left mouse button.

  • Alternatively, the parking lot can be moved to the desired chainage by defining the chainage at the field Chainage.

Use the button OK to draw the parking lot.
