Analysis of Parking Lots Site Selection for the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition

2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition will hold from April 26th to October 28th, lasting for 184 days, estimated tourist volume reaching 5.5 million. It predicts that average daily tourists of weekdays will be approximately 29,000 and on the peak days will be expected to 97,000. The aim of this study is to plan and lay out the parking lots of the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition in advance, in order to promote the construction of parking lot infrastructure. By analyzing the proportion of travel modes, parking lot demand, and land use around the Expo Park, a total of 7 parking lots, including a total of 8457 private parking spaces and 570 tourist/dedicated buses, are planned and arranged to meet the rigid parking demand on weekdays and weekends. The surrounding buildings and the surrounding roads would be reasonably used to set about 7500 flexible parking spaces to meet the parking demand during extreme peak days. The results of this study will provide useful information for the traffic organization in the later stage of the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition and will greatly facilitate the smooth development of traffic organization in the later stage.
