During recent years there has been a growing appreciation of the importance of parking issues in the overall context of urban transport problems accompanying this, there has been a growth in the quantity and quality of parking related research work both in the U.K. and overseas. There are still however, many aspects of parking behavior that have considerable policy significance but which are not well understood and on which further research effort is warranted. One such under-researched aspect of parking behavior centres on the area of parking search. This paper addresses three key questions in relation to current and proposed research efforts concerned with parking search.
