ABSTRACT
In Many areas especially urban area, parking is a serious
problem. Shortages of parking space, complaints about high
parking tariffs and congestion due to visitors in search for a
parking place are only a few examples of everyday parking
problems. Many cities and urban areas recognize these problems,
but the solution proves to be very complicated. Multi storey
vehicle parking is method of parking and retrieving vehicles that
typically use a system of parallel and lifts. The intension is to
compact more vehicles in the same space, reduce the space
needed to park the same number of vehicles.
Vehicles Park can be situated above or below ground or a
combination of both. This makes the system modernized and thus
space saving one. In the modern world where parking spaces
become a very big problem it has become very important to avoid
the wastage of space in moderm big companies and apartments
etc.
CHAPTER :-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
In many areas, especially urban areas, parking is a
serious problem. Shortages of parking space, complaints about high parking
tariffs and congestion due to visitors in search for a parking place are only a
few examples of everyday parking problems.
Many cities and urban areas recognize these problems,
but the solution proves to be very complicated. In the urban area parking
policy is a task of local governments. However, important data about the
actual parking capacity and use of parking is absent in most cities. The lack
of hard data makes it difficult to fully understand the real problem and
develop effective policies. Therefore decisions concerming parking policy
are often made on an emotional basis. Emotions, but also political color and
personal opinions shape local parking policy, while solid research and
widespread accepted knowledge should be decisive. This results in different
policies fighting the same problem
Also in academic literature parking is a relatively new
subject. Compared to other subjects concerning transport and mobility our
knowledge about parking, the problems that arise from parking and the exact
effects of parking policy is quite limited.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
As mentioned above, we think the core of the problem lies
in the perception of the urban parking problem. A lot of problems are seen in
different perspectives Different stockholders have different opinions about
certain problems, while others don't see a problem at all It is hard to develop
widespread accepted parking policies when there is no shared understanding
of the actual problem This brings us to our problem statemen.
"Professionals and decision makers within the parking world
perceive the urban parking problem in different ways, making it hard to
develop effective parking policies
1.3 NEED for the study
Traffic vehicle population and resulting
congestion is a most commonly faced problem in any of major urban
centers in India nowadays. In Surat, Sitanagar Chokdi, Punagam Junction
intersection very serious traffic problem during whole day and festival time.
Resulting create problem for pedestrian and vehicles.
To have safe and comfortable pedestrian and vehicular
circulation it is necessary to go for development of parking facilities like,
• To provide a parking under there over bridge at Sitnagar
Chokdi
• To provide a proper traffic signaling
• To provide regular police enforcement &Vehicles are parked in
storeys so it will not interrupt the traffic.
1.1 Expected outcome
• To identification of the problem related to the study area
• To reduce the traffic congestion.
• To reduce accident rate.
• Reduce space needed to park same Number of vehicles,
1.2 Future Expansion:
• The concept in the future can be extended to developing a
mechanism for vehicle parking and also provide better parking
facility to the people.
1.3 Summary:
In this chapter introduces the general of pedestrian's
movement. It also includes need for the study, future
expansion, expected outcome, and also organization of the
report. The next chapter describes in review of literature.

Literature
Review
2.1. TITLE:
PARKING MLANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM INVENTOR:
TEBANO, Riccardo Milano (IT) (2010)
He Analyses, increasing use of cars and the limited space available for
parking them, particularly in urban areas, has led to serious problems in the
parking management. The lack or shortage of available parking space is one
of the major issues of practically all the urban centers.
The present invention relates to parking management systems, in general, and
particularly to an automatic parking management system for managing
parking areas, particularly but not imitatively parking areas with non
delimited parking places .
2.2. TITLE:
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS OF METRO CITIES
INVENTOR: Vijay Kumar, Dr. R.K.Pandit. (2013)
Metro cities in India are facing acute traffic and transportation problems
leading to deteriorated quality life and weak socioeconomic structure.
The problems range from inefficiency of roads and transport infrastructure
to deal with exorbitantly increasing in magnitude of vehicles especially the
personal ones, lack of mass transportation systems, encroachments on roads,
lack of pedestrian facilities and weak traffic management systems.
The probable solution to this gigantic problem can be creation of an
independent, Traffic and Transportation Authorities at city level which
should be technically strong in equipments, technology and manpower &
experts.
Beside this comprechensive traffic and transportation plan should be made
mandatory for all cities along with efficient management strict enforcement.
2.3. TITLE:
A STUDY ON PARKING NEEDS AT INTERSECTIONS
INVENTOR: Bhasker Vijaykumar Bhatt, Fenil Rajeshkumar Gandhi (2014)
• The problem is parking at intersection in urban city area. Traffic
vehicle population and resulting congestion is a most commonly faced
problem in any of major urban centers in India now a days.
• He study on survey of different intersections in four town planning
scheme of urban city for parking of vehicles, traffic movement,
cariage way width, land use pattern & fundamental need for parking
requirement +in the respective zone. Study identifies Parking
consumes 0.1% 2.46% road land at intersections.
2.4. TITLE:
PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
INVENTOR: Nili Street, et.al (1999)
• He analyze that the ever-increasing use of automobiles and limited
space for parking, particularly in urban areas, has led to serious
problems in parking management. It is often expensive and logistically
cumbersome for police or municipality officials to keep track of
offenders who park their vehicles without paying for the parking space.
• Parking meters do not fully solve the problem because they require a
large investment on the part of the municipality and comprehensive
monitoring the invention is to provide a parking management
communication system, encompassing municipality, driver and parking
space. The communication system of the invention may be used to
report parking, monitor parking and reserve parking spaces.
• A parking management communication system including a central
control unit having a data base, a central interface unit and at least one
user interface unit, the central interface unit being in communication
With the at least one user interface unit via at least one of a Wired and
Wireless communication link.
2.5. TITLE:
PARKING LIFT
INVENTOR: David Derelius Stoner, et.al (1958)
• He analyze that the parking problems of congested areas as downtown
in a populated or overpopulated city.
• This invention relates to a parking lift and more particularly to a
lifting device which may be enclosed in a Building enclosure whereby
cars to be parked May be easily and conveniently driven for location
on the powered lift to be raised and lowered relative to other cars in
the same enclosure.
2.6. TITLE:
OPTIMAL AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEM FOR INDIAN
ENVIRONMENT
INVENTOR: Hitendra.G.Wasnik, et.al (2011)
• They analyze that Due to the proliferation in the number of vehicles on
the road, traffic problems are bound to exist. This is due to the fact that
the current transportation infrastructure and car park facility developed
are unable to cope with the influx of vehicles on the road. Therefore,
problems such as traffic congestion and insufficient parking space
inevitably crops up.
• This paper reviews and compares various car parking systems available
now-a-days and discusses the required characteristics of a car parking
system suitable to Indian conditions. They gave the following
suggestion for such problem
• Fully Automated car parking An "Automated Car Parking System" is a
fully computer controlled mechanism which becomes user friendly as it
ensures maximum utilization of space allowing the machines to park
the car in the allocated space. After the driver exits the vehicle, a
robotic Shuttle transports the vehicle onto the Vehicle Transfer Center,
which then transfers the car to a designated parking stall. The parking
system offers the option of a turntable to make it easy to enter and exit
the Park and Drive station, and an auto car lift device for multi-level
applications.
