Car park layout software
Car park layouts in 3D, with the stall count and the wait for a space or a charger.
Laydyne lets you arrange parking stalls, compare peak occupancy and test charging or drive-through queues. Inspect camera coverage and prepare the parking layout from the same site model.

Work through the stalls, aisles and accessible spaces.
Place parking stalls within the site model and compare alternative arrangements. Inspect vehicle aisles and wheelchair-accessible spaces with the dimensions and criteria you specify.
- Arrange parking stalls
- Measure vehicle aisles
- Inspect wheelchair-accessible stalls
Results from worked examples
- The 40 × 30 m lot takes 44 compact cars in a parallel layout and 40 at right angles; for standard cars it takes 39 with 5.5 m aisles.
- The 245-stall lot needs 5 wheelchair stalls, but the plan has only 2.
- A shopping centre's 243 stalls turn away 1.1 cars on a usual Saturday but 40.2 cars with 20% more cars, and 300 stalls bring that down to 0.2.
Car parks · Parking demand
Try the peak before changing the facilities.
Set vehicle arrivals, stays and charging or service times for an approximate trading day. Vary charger availability or operating arrangements and inspect occupancy and queues.
- Set vehicle arrival patterns
- Compare EV charging availability
- Test drive-through service arrangements
Results from worked examples
- Four normal chargers beside one quick one charge 26.9 of the 27.9 shoppers, and the cars that come only to charge and leave fall from 3.8 to 1.7.
- With 45 cars in the 12:00–13:00 hour and large orders waited for at the window, 35.5 of 104.1 cars (34.1%) wait on the street, and the longest line there is 8.7 cars.
- Even on a usual Saturday, 226.6 stalls are taken on average around 14:30, and in 10 of the 20 runs the lot fills and cars wait at the entrance.
