Sažetak
The principal objective of this scientific paper is to learn how to efficiently organise traffic
areas and especially the size of parking capacities and hence how to ensure a quality parking
service to local population and tourists as a component of the overall offer in urban and
tourist destinations and how to ensure a return of investments in a reasonable period to
parties investing in the parking capacity. What is the optimal capacity and how to calculate it
in the best possible way by connecting parking supply and demand? This paper presents the
application of the queuing theory to the planning of the optimal number of servers (ramps) in
closed parking systems, since parking area can be defined as a queuing system. The
illustrated model has been tested on the example of the "Delta" parking area in the City of
Rijeka and the particular value of the model is its universal application. This approach has
shown that by using the queuing theory, the optimal number of servers (ramps) in closed
parking systems can be determined.
