dc.description	This study is an attempt to analyze the relationship between parking space, travel demand and travel mode shift in Libya, a rich, developing country suffering from the consequences of explosions in both human population and motorization. The objectives of this study are to (i) identify the factors that affect transport mode preferences for all types of trips, especially work and school trips; (ii) outline the policy scenarios which are likely to make private car owners shift to public transport, (iii) develop a modal shift model, predictive of private car owners shift to public transport and a model to relate car park to mode shift, and (iv) predict future transport use trend. The study also proposes to develop tools and guidelines for optimum parking space in relation to floor and road network. The study applied some modeling techniques to explore the roles of parking space, demographic variables and trip characteristics in contributing to an understanding of the concept of travel demand management and modal shift. In this study, the findings on the general characteristics of the respondents mode choice of private cars or buses, or government-managed means of transportation are reported and described. A series of revealed and stated preference surveys have been conducted in different parts of Tripoli. The questionnaire was also intended to gather some data about points of access to the city center and the time of the day and duration to find vacant parking space. Earlier studies in this subject, focused primarily on car safety issues rather than on identifying factors influencing car use and car user mode choice behavior. This study focused on influencing private car users to choose alternative modes as a countermeasure aiming at shifting public transport in order to reduce travel time, air and noise pollution as well as enhance road safety. This study establishes appropriate models which have replicated peoples attitudes towards public transport in Tripoli. The accuracy of the models could be observed with the correlation of not less than 95%. The developed models able to give optimum number of car park in certain area and predict model shift with 90% accuracy. The model predicts 50 % of car users will shift to public transport when parking charges of LYD1.25 per hour is introduced.,Ph.D.,Certification of Master's / Doctoral Thesis" is not available"	-
