This paper presents a novel tool for optimising residential parking allocation in urban environments using linear programming techniques. The tool addresses the growing challenge of parking space management in cities by quantifying parking utilisation and accessibility. It employs a unique application of the transport problem from Graph Theory to allocate parking supply to household demand while considering real-world constraints such as walking distances and infrastructure limitations. The methodology involves the pre-processing of supply, demand, and distance matrix data, followed by an optimization process that minimises total walking distance and penalises unmet demand. The tool’s effectiveness is demonstrated through an experiment in the Czech town of Slan´y, showcasing its ability to evaluate current parking situations and assess the impact of potential changes in parking supply. Key outputs include the percentage of satisfied demand, utilization rates of parking supply, and detailed allocation maps. This approach provides urban planners and policymakers with valuable insights for developing efficient and sustainable parking solutions, while also highlighting areas for further research in data preparation and model refinement.
