1.0 OBJECTIVE OF EXPERIMENT:
To obtain data on the extent of usage of parking spaces

2.0 SUMMARY OF THEORY:

Parking is one of the major problems that is created by the increasing road traffic. It is an
impact of transport development. The availability of less space in urban areas has
increased the demand for parking space especially in areas like Central business district.
This affects the mode choice also. This has a great economical impact.

3.0 EQUIPMENTS:

Pencil, rubber, sharpener Clipboard & Data sheet Stop watch REFERENCE
DOCUMENT
4.0 LOCATION : Any parking location

5.0 DETAILED PROCEDURE : CORING TEST

WORK PROCESS

1. Select a suitable off-street parking area at compound, such as in
front of Administration Building.

2. Sketch the plans of the streets and the parking plans using
suitable symbols. List the number of parking spaces provided in
the car park area.

3. Take the frequency of the vehicle parked in every 15 minutes
interval to be satisfactory for off-street parking.

4. Do the observation of vehicle arrivals and departures for 1 ½ hour
and perform analyze data.
