Car park designers looking for the solutions to layout and circulation are recommended to seek out Jim Hill's advice: Remedies for circulation problems

摘要

When designing a car park circulation system, does one opt for a split level deck, sloping parking decks, flat decks with internal ramps, external spiral ramps or even warped decks? The truth is that there is no one right answer to the design of car park circulation systems. However, one man who might have a good idea is Jim Hill, co-founder of the Hill Gannon Partnership and now author of a comprehensive guide to the design of car parks. "The design of a satisfactory circulation layout is one of the most important factors governing user appreciation and yet many designers are unaware of the large variety of options from which they may choose and their suitability for the intended purpose," writes Hill.
