Hey! I've had an attempt as follows:
[Total Revenue] = [Revenue from Permit Spaces] + [Revenue from Council Run Car Parks]
Permit Revenue
[Revenue from Permit Spaces] = [Annual Revenue/Permit] X [No. Permits in London]
[No. Permits in London] = [No. residential roads in London] X [% roads with permit spaces] X [No. permit spaces/road] X [% permit spaces paid for/year]
[No. permit spaces/road] = [[Mean length per road] / [length of space + space between space]]X2
[No. residential roads in London] = [Mean No. roads/square km] X [Area of London] X [% of roads which are residential]
Car Park Revenue
[revenue from car parks] = [revenue per car park] X [No. car parks in London]
[revenue/car park] = [revenue per day] X [no. days open/year]
[revenue/day] = [No. tickets sold/day] X [mean price per ticket]
[No. tickets sold/day] = [No. tickets per 'session'] X [No. 'sessions'/day]
[No. tickets/'session'] = [car park capacity] X [mean occupancy rate]
[No 'sessions'/day] = [No. hours car park open/day] / [Mean length of stay per car (hours)]
[No. car parks in London] = [No. car parks/square km] X [Area of London (square km)]
I'd then make some assumptions on all the above numbers and arrived at an answer of around £200M/year.
Would be intersted to see how other people approach this. Thanks!
