Research on the rationale of width of disabled parking spaces and correlation of selection by wheelchair users and others

DiscussionExisting disabled parking facilities and policy about width need to be adjusted to meet requirement of individuals with differing degrees of disability. We have proposed a reconfiguration of the disabled parking system that may diminish the conflict between wheelchair users and other users. Our study has the potential to contribute to the design of effective disabled parking spaces in order to enhance health and encourage travel for individuals with disabilities.
