Comprehensive Study and Analysis on the Basics of Vehicle Parking Layout with Investigation of Problems and Solutions Related to Current Parking Issues

Concerning the population, India stands 2nd in the world. The growing community of India, urbanization, has introduced many recent problems, one of which is “Parking”. The term,“Parking” indicates, placing of a vehicle temporarily in a particular place, designated for that purpose. The places where the cars are parked are termed as parking spaces. In recent days, one of the challenges that we confront every is car parking. Besides the space for the cars, moving on a road, more significant is the problem in the critical area for parking vehicles, as private cars remain parked most of the time. While residential buildings nowadays allow spaces for temporary car parking, the main problem occurs in commercial places, where the number of vehicles that comes to the park is almost uncertain in an instance of a day. Parking is one of the significant problems which are created by increasing road traffic. It’s the impact of transport development. The availability of less area in urban regions has necessitated the importance of Parking spaces, particularly in regions like Central business area.Thus, efforts have been given to find the alternatives of the vehicle parking spaces, using the advanced technology of nowadays and modern construction techniques. Great parking lots are safe, attractive, drain efficiently when it rains and are screened from residential areas. Striping and signage indicating regular and handicapped parking spaces, as well as direction of traffic flow, should be clearly marked. Safe pedestrian walkways, includinge easy access for wheelchairs, need to be separate from the traffic-flow areas. Parking lot design involves many considerations. All too often the only consideration forthe design is developing a sufficient parking area to meet the required number of vehicles based on adjacent occupancy. Local regulations will dictate many of the planning and design decisions made by the planner or designer.

The resultant scarcity of parking space has begun to spill over to other aspects of urban life in form of congestion, fuel loss, dispersed land use and low air quality. Therefore, it is imperative to arrive at a solution that on one hand provides space for parking while simultaneously managing demand for parking on the other (1).Proper design of parking space is any parking space is not an easy job. It seeks a lot of parameters which we need to know, we need to find out with the help of simple data by applying some technique.(3) In this paper, an initiative has been taken to identify the major centers of congested car parking in major hubs of Kolkata and its probable measures of suggestion to combat the issue. This area. A suffering from an overall lack of parking space at time, resulting in drives having difficulty in finding a space and excessive traffic congestion. It can be concluded that provided measures are taken, the city can combat its car parking problem issue (2). The procedure followed for the analysis of need of parking facility is depicted in methodology of their study. Manual survey as well as google form was submitted to more than 283 people and common results were considered Then analysis of data was done using pie charts and percentage calculation. In future scope of this paper design of parking.(4) They are facing so many problems. Two of those acute problems is parking problem and traffic congestion. There do not have an accurate parking management in their metro cities and mainly for their developing cities. This paper focuses on such problems contextual to Kotacity. Kota is an emerging city. There are lots of industries and coaching centers situated in the city that contributes to its economy. Due to this there is an increment in population and number of vehicles that has resulted in the traffic congestion and parking problems in this city, street space hasn’t increased so far, but population of this city is in seven-digit number.(5)

Survey was carried out by making a questionnaire regarding parking problem faced by the peoples, so their responses are recorded and it is represented in pie charts A) Survey on Spot for parking This question was framed to know that peoples find out the easily spot for parking Total number of responses indicate are as follows:

B) Survey on peoples prefer in parking type This question was framed to know that peoples are mostly prefer the which parking type Total number of responses indicate are as follows:

This question was framed to know that why people choose that road side parking Total number of responses indicate are as follows: D) This question was framed to know that average time on park or unpark car at roadside parking space. Total number of responses indicate are as follows: E) This question was framed to know that which type of parking is less time consuming and easy to park or unpark Total number of responses indicate are as follows: G) This question was framed to know that parking is not available to the destination then what distance people agree to park the car. Total number of responses indicate are as follows: H) This question was framed to know that entry way & exit way of multi-storeyed parking system should be different and its reason. Total number of responses indicate are as follows: I) This question was framed to know that which method is suitable for payment of parking system. Total number of responses indicate are as follows: J) This question was framed to know that which action is more difficult at the time of parking. Total number of responses indicate are as follows: K) This question was framed to know that what are the frequent parking unavailability issues. Total number of responses indicate are as follows:

1. For short term measures pay and park method will be done at peak hours to control and regulate parking. 2. For long term measures off street parking have to be provided near areas, within radius of 1km. 3. For less crowded cities perpendicular (90-degree) provides better safety 4. For large populated areas, use angle parking because a greater number of vehicles can be parked 5. Allocated parking spaces should cater for the average parking requirement based on size, provide for at least 20% additional spaces. Especially malls, gardens, public buildings & commercial properties. 6. Estate should be more effectively integrated into their surroundings by creating clear, eligible safe routs to avoid blockages.
