 The parking accumulation study was conducted over a period of three hours in a busy
commercial area with high traffic flow. The types of vehicle included in this study are
motorcycles, tricycles and 4-wheel automobile such as cars and vans. The study aimed to
investigate the patterns of parking accumulation and the factors that contribute to them. The data
was analyzed using statistical methods to identify any patterns or trends.

During the three-hour period, which began at 5 p.m. and ended at 8 p.m., the results
revealed that parking accumulation was greatest between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. The number of
parked vehicles increased steadily throughout the span of time. From 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., parking
accumulation was lower, with most of the spaces remaining empty for much of the day.

Further analysis revealed that the factors contributing to parking accumulation included
the proximity of parking spaces to popular businesses and the duration of parking allowed in
each space. Spaces located closer to popular businesses tended to fill up faster, while spaces with
longer permitted parking durations were occupied for longer periods.

DISCUSSION:

The results of this study have important implications for businesses and city planners.
The fact that parking accumulation is highest on 6 p.m. and 7 p.m suggests that businesses in the
area should consider offering alternative transportation options or staggered work hours to
alleviate the strain on parking resources. Additionally, city planners may need to consider the
location and duration of parking spaces when designing future parking facilities in the area.

It is worth noting that the study only captured a snapshot of parking accumulation over a
three-hour period, and that seasonal factors or changes in local business offerings could impact
the results. Further research could investigate these potential factors to gain a more
comprehensive understanding of parking accumulation in the area.

II. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the parking accumulation study provided valuable insights into the patterns
and factors contributing to parking accumulation in a busy commercial area. The results have
important implications for businesses and city planners seeking to alleviate parking congestion in
the area. This study has been done to evaluate parking characteristics, to estimate the demand for
parking and on driver's behaviour while choosing the parking space. It integrates all these aspects
and presents the state-of-the-art review of models and studies on the parking system. It was
concluded that it provides useful information to the planners and policy makers for planning,
designing and evaluating parking system.
