I would like to suggest the "time-area" approach to comparing
the efficiency of land use between modes. It takes into
account both moving and parked occupancies and the time duration.
See Bruun and Vuchic, 1995. "Time-Area Concept: Development,
Meaning, and Application." Transportation Research Record 1499,
Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC.
