Industrial architects typically address parking and transportation needs in their designs by considering several factors, including:
1. Capacity: The first step is to determine the capacity of the site, and identify the number of vehicles that the parking lot needs to accommodate. The parking lot should have the space necessary to accommodate all the vehicles owned by the company and any visitors that may come to the site.
2. Accessibility: Industrial architects need to make sure that the parking lot is easily accessible from the main roads, and that it provides convenient and safe access to the site's entrance.
3. Layout: The layout of the parking lot is also critical. The design should consider the number of vehicles, the size of the lot, and the movement of traffic throughout the site.
4. Sustainable transportation: Industrial architects can also design sustainable transportation systems, such as bike paths, pedestrian walkways and public transit access, to reduce the demand for parking and promote alternative methods of transportation.
5. Safety and security: Security and safety should also be a top priority. Industrial architects should use lighting and other safety features to ensure that the parking lot is a safe place for drivers and pedestrians.
Overall, industrial architects need to consider all of these factors when designing parking and transportation systems to ensure that the site is easy to access, safe and convenient for employees and visitors alike.
