ABSTRACT
In urban areas, there is a heavy rush of vehicles and pedestrians during peak
hours of the day and it results in traffic congestion. The demand for parking spaces by
automobile users is one of the major problems faced. When vehicles park on road sides
even for a short while, there is a restriction to other vehicles passing by, resulting in
congestion and accidents. Modern techniques and methods have to be found out to
make the movement of vehicles smooth and easier.
A suitable location was selected and surveyed using total station and the site
plan was made. Based on the required capacity of the parking structure suitable layout
and plan for the structure has been prepared and drawn using Auto CAD as per the
National Building Code and Kerala Building Rules. The modelling and analysis are
done and a rough estimate is calculated using SR USSOR.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL
Parking demand often grows quickly, significantly and unexpectedly in urban areas
where there is a heavy rush of vehicles and pedestrians during peak hours of the day
resulting in traffic congestion. When vehicles park on road sides even for a short while, it
can result in congestion and accidents. Also surface parking consuming too much of the
precious land area is not always feasible. One of the solutions is multilevel car parking
system by utilizing vertical space rather than expanding horizontally.
A multi-storey car park is a building designed for car parking and where there are
a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.These structures often have low
ceiling clearances, which restrict access by full size vans and other large vehicles.
The current parking facilities provided in the premises of railway station proves
ineffective during peak times of a day. Many vehicle users have experienced difficulties in
parking and started complaining about this problem. Also Curb parking and unauthorized
parking pose great parking problem.
1.3. OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this project is to solve the parking problems in Kannur
railway station by constructing a multi-storey car park. The study involves preparation of
a detailed plan for the multi-storey car park (MCP). Prior to the functional planning of the
MCP the feasibility of the project is found out by conducting questionnaire survey and
parking survey. Then the modelling and analysis of the structure is carried out using
ETABS and a rough estimate of the project is made using the SRUSSOR.

CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW
In case of Off Street Parking the vehicles are parked in a separate place away from the
kerb. This facility avoids undue traffic congestion. The various methods of off-street
parking are basement floor and open spaces around the buildings, construction of central
parking stations in the form of multi storied buildings with open walls, developing parking
lots with parking fee, etc.
Large and rectangular shaped sites are ideal for parking structures. The overall
width of the structure should be determined based upon multiples of the chosen parking
bay width. Longer sites provide the opportunity to park along the end bays, which provides
more parking spaces, improves efficiency, and lowers the cost per space.
A longer site also allows for shallower ramps which provide improved user comfort.
Generally, parking bays should be oriented parallel to the longer dimension of the site and
preferably in the predominate direction of pedestrian travel.
Many design consideration are adopted while designing a parking structure. The
design considerations involve design layouts, details of ramp and stair, height
considerations, maneuvering over aisles, parking space provisions etc.
Parallel Parking
This type of parking requires less pavement area. Works well in extremely narrow and
linear spacing.
Standard Dimensions (min): 7.5m long, 2.75m wide.
4
90 degree angle parking
This type of parking accommodates most vehicles per linear area. Effective in long
term parking.
Standard dimensions: Parking space width- 2.75m, Parking space length- 6m
5
2.4.2. Parking Space Provision
According to National Building Code (NBC) clause 10.3 each off-street parking
space provided for vehicles shall be:
a. For car the minimum parking space to be 3m x 6m when individual parking space
is required and 2.75 m * 5 m when common parking space is required.
b. Space for scooter/two wheeler and bicycle to be not less than 1.25 sq.m and 1 sq.m
respectively.
c. For Disabled Persons:
According to NBC D-2.3.3 Parking space for individuals with physical disabilities
should be 3.6 m to3.8 m wide and the length of the aisle should 7.3 m, 6.1 m and
6.5 m for head-on 60degree and 90degree parking respectively.
According to NBC
According to KPBR
(47.1:a) Fire staircase shall be provided for every building other than residencies
exceeding two storey above ground level.
(47.2) Width of fire escape stair shall not be less than 0.75 m, width of tread shall
not be less than 15 cm, height of fire escape stair riser shall not be less than 19 cm,
and number of risers shall not exceed 16 per stair.
(47.3) Height of hand rail shall not be less than 1 m.
(47.5) Fire escape stair shall have a straight flight.
6
2.4.4. Details Of Ramp
According to NBC (4.14.2), the slope of ramp should not exceed 1 in 10.
According to KPBR (104.3),The maximum gradient of any ramp which
approaching to a building shall not exceed 1 in 12. Height of hand rail shall be 80
cm .
Most cars have a height of less than 1.5m and the height never exceed 1.95 m. So a
height greater than 2 m is adopted for parking structures housing only light weight 4 wheel
vehicles. (Jim Hill, 2005)
60 degree 4.20 m
45 degree 3.60 m
( Jim Hill,2005)

Fig 2.5 - Turning path
With increase in vehicle production more parking systems and facilities are
required. So large multistory parking structures are erected to meet the demands of parking.
Many problems like difficulty to find parking spaces, improper parking, parking fee
payment etc. has been observed in these structures. SPS solves these problems by using
ultrasonic sensors to detect either car parking occupancy or improper parking actions
( Amin Kianpisheh, July 2012).

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
A questionnaire has been prepared with above factors in mind. The questionnaire
is mainly intended for understanding the feasibility of the project. A questionnaire survey
was carried out by interviewing passengers approaching and departing from the railway
station. Some passengers were interviewed right in the parking lot. This type of
questionnaire is quick method but the results may not be accurate, it may include bias.The
bias can take two forms. Drivers will sometimes overestimate their parking needs in order
to encourage the surveyors to recommend additional parking. Or, they may file false reports
so that their opinion feel are more socially acceptable.
The following data has been inferred from the questionnaire survey:
About 95% of people have experienced traffic congestion problems near railway
station.
More than 80% of people invited the idea of multi-storeyed car parking for Kannur
railway station.
The site is located at Railway station, Kannur. The location of the site is shown in
Annex C.1.
The site is located near congested town area.
A better parking facility is not available in nearby area.
The site is uniformly levelled.
The traffic congestion near the site is heavy.
Labour and building materials are easily available.
An old building is situated in the site so demolishing works need to be carried out.
While planning and designing a building, the first thought is about the
general scope or the purpose of the proposed building. Site is the main factor which has
large effect on the layout and design of the proposed building. The relation of the site with
its environment and the topographical features of the site are to be taken into consideration
while planning and designing a building. Parking buildings are unique when compared to
other types of buildings. It should be located in such a way that it could be easily located
and identified by vehicle users.
Large and rectangular shaped sites are ideal for parking structures.
Longer sites provide the opportunity to park along the end bays, which provides
more parking spaces, improves efficiency, and lowers the cost per space.
The site should be easily accessible and roads connecting these sites should have
sufficient width to avoid congestion.
10
3.3. SITE SURVEY
The detailed survey has been done to determine the boundaries of the
required areas of the site with the help of total station. This kind of survey are usually
confined to the boundaries of the parcel of land. The survey will often include data such as
the elevation of the land, that is, how high the land is above an arbitrary datum (level). A
commonly used arbitrary level is the mean sea level which is taken as zero meters high.
The Easting and Northing coordinates of the land may have to be taken too.
The total station survey was conducted for establishing the boundary
regions and to produce the site plan based on the survey details. The following details may
be noted:
The survey sketch was prepared using AutoCAD. The data collected from the field
using total station can be retrained by connecting the total station to the computer. By using
softwares the data has been exported and converted to the required file type. The files are
imported into AutoCAD. Then the points are connected using lines of different colours.
Each colour may represent different object which are recognized from the field. The
dimensions are marked using dimension options and the locations are properly labelled.
The survey sketch of the plot is shown in Annex .C.

3.4. PARKING SURVEY
Parking is one of the serious problems that confront the urban planner and the traffic
engineer. Before taking any measures for the betterment of the conditions, the basic data
pertaining to the availability of parking space, extent of its usage and parking demand are
essential. Parking surveys are intended to supply all this kind of information. Studies are
conducted to collect the required information about the capacity, use of existing parking
facilities, and information about the demand for parking. Information are collected on the
current condition of parking facilities.
The efficiency of current parking provisions and the capacity of parking structure
has to be determined based on the parking survey .The type of parking survey adopted for
this project is duration and turnover survey. For conducting the duration and turnover
surveys license plate method has been adopted. In this method of survey, every parking
stall is monitored at a continuous interval of 15 minutes or so and the license plate number
is noted down. This will give the data regarding the duration for which a particular vehicle
was using the parking bay.
The data from the survey is tabulated and based on the data parking accumulation
is calculated. Parking accumulation is the number of vehicles parked at a given instant of
time. The number of bays occupied is expressed in percentage of total number of bays. The
parking accumulation for each hour is tabulated as shown in Annex A.1. The parking
accumulation curve is plotted. Accumulation curve is the graph obtained by plotting the
number of bays occupied with respect to time. The accumulation curves can be seen in
Annex A.2
The parking load can be calculated from the accumulation curve. Parking load gives
the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be obtained by simply multiplying the
number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each time interval with the time interval.
Parking index or efficiency can be then found out. Parking index is the ratio of number of
bays occupied in a time duration to the total space available. The parking index can be
found out by using the formulae:
12
The parking index gives an aggregate measure of how effectively the parking space
is utilized. The capacity of the new parking provision to be adopted can be determined
using the parking accumulation values. In this project the maximum accumulated value is
chosen along with the considerations for curb parking. The curb parking and unauthorized
parking are also surveyed which are tabulated and shown in annex A.1.
The parking turnover is found out which gives the overall use of the parking provision.
Parking turnover is the ratio of number of vehicles parked in a duration to the number of
parking bays available. It is given by:
In order to find the turn over, parking volume has to be determined. Parking volume is the
total number of vehicles parked at a given duration of time. This does not account for
repetition of vehicles. The actual volume of vehicles entered in the area is recorded. Parking
volume is found by calculating the total vehicles obtained during the survey, without
considering repetitions. This may be done using MS Excel.
The calculations for parking index and turnover for this project have been shown under
Annex A.4.
Based on parking surveys the static capacity is taken as: 350 vehicles
The plan of the parking structure has been prepared based on the details of the site
plan. The plan has been drawn as per the Kerala Panchayat Building Rules (Annex D). As
per KPBR the plan was drawn to a scale of not less than 1:100.
For drawing the plan of the parking structure a suitable layout should be adopted.
The layout should allow the vehicles to park and manoeuver easily through the structure.
Precautions are taken so that there will not be any clash or conflicts between vehicles in
the structure.
13
The parking structure is provided with following facilities for the users:
Token counter
Ramps
Lifts and staircases
Toilets for gents and ladies
Electrical room and lighting facilities
Emergency escapes
Special Provisions for disabled people
The facilities provided in the structure meets the requirements as per the KPBR and NBC.
The lighting, ventilation and aesthetics aspects has been considered while preparing the
plan of the parking structure.
A layout is the rough sketch of the building which shows the entrance and exit
ways, position and direction of maneuvering regions, parking spaces etc. The layout has
been prepared based on the design parking capacity, which is obtained from the parking
studies. About 60 to 70 vehicles are accommodated in each floor. Each parking slot is
effectively allotted such that the users can easily park their vehicle as well as can exit the
structure with least delay. This was made possible by providing one way manoeuvers and
separate entry and exit ramps. Different layouts for parking slots have been selected such
as parallel parking, 90 degree parking, and 45 degree parking. The size of each slot for 2
wheel and 4 wheel vehicles are adopted keeping in mind the code specifications for off-
street parking.
14
3.6. MODELLING AND ANALYSIS
In this project modelling and analysis of multi-storied car parking is done by using
a very popular designing software ETABS. We have chosen ETABS because of its
following advantages: - easy to use interface, conformation with the Indian Standard
Codes, versatile nature of solving any type of problem, accuracy of the solution.
The initially provided sections were columns of size 400x400 mm and beams of
size 300x400 mm but these showed failure due to greater span between the columns in this
particular structure. So the section properties are revised and analysed. Beams of size
400x500 mm and staircase beams of size 300x400 mm are adopted. The columns provided
at the edges/ near to the half walls has a size of 500x500 mm and columns at the interior
has size 700x700 mm. Estimation has been done based on the revised structural details and
reinforcement details obtained from design software.

3.7. ESTIMATION
For all the engineering works it is required to know beforehand the probable cost
of the construction known as the estimated cost. If the estimated cost is greater than the
money available, then attempts are made to reduce the cost. An approximate estimation is
done by using centre line method. UNIFIED STANDARD SCHEDULE OF RATES
(USSOR) is the software used for determining rates of different material in the project for
estimation.

CONCLUSION
Increase in urban growth has increased the number of vehicle users. This has led to
rising traffic problems. Raise in traffic has in-turn raised the problem relating to parking of
vehicle. Apart from this, inadequacy of space required for parking and poor regulation of
the existing parking space has contributed in their own way to enhance the problem. A
solution to this rising problem is by utilizing vertical space rather than expanding
horizontally. This solution can be achieved by constructing multi-storey parking structures.
The multi-storey car parks provides a great advantage to the traffic system in urban
areas by regulating the parking system in the region. This project helps to compromise
majority of the parking problems faced in the railway station, Kannur city. Furthermore
this project act as traffic regulator because of the peculiar location of the project. It diverts
the traffic to the railway station away from the main entrance and towards multi-storey
parking structure.

A.4. RESULTS
The parking problems arises during peak periods. So the parking load during
peak period has to be calculated. The value of curb parking is also considered in the
calculation.
For Design considerations we take the maximum load which is 262 veh hr.
The design capacity of the parking structure will be then = (262*100) /75 =
349.33~= 350 veh.
The average parking duration value will be required while calculating the
amount for toll which is beyond the scope of the project.
