👉 Parking math is a method used to estimate the number of parking spaces required for an event, based on factors like the expected number of attendees, their parking preferences (e.g., street parking vs. garage), and the parking space availability. A common approach involves calculating the total number of parking spaces needed by multiplying the expected number of attendees by a factor that accounts for their parking behavior. For instance, if 80% of attendees prefer street parking (which typically requires less space than garages), you might multiply the total number of attendees by 1.2 to ensure sufficient space. However, this is a simplified model and doesn't account for variables like the layout of parking lots, potential double-parking, or varying space sizes. More sophisticated models factor in these elements to provide a more accurate estimate, but the basic principle remains: multiply attendees by a multiplier that reflects their parking habits and the available space.
