    The document discusses different parking methods and their characteristics. Parallel parking uses the least road space but can only fit a minimum number of vehicles. Thirty degree parking fits more vehicles than parallel while maintaining good maneuverability and minimal traffic delays. Forty-five degree parking fits more vehicles than the other methods for a given curb length. Right angle parking fits the most vehicles but requires significant road width and complex maneuvers, potentially causing accidents.

    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.

    Parallel parking: The vehicles are parked along the length of the
    road. Here there is no backward movement involved while parking
    or unparking the vehicle. Hence, it is the most safest parking from
    the accident perspective. However, it consumes the maximum curb
    length and therefore only a minimum number of vehicles can be
    parked for a given kerb length. This method of parking produces
    least obstruction to the on-going traffic on the road since least road
    width is used. Parallel parking of cars is shown in figure 1.

    1.
    Figure 1: Illustration of parallel parking

    30 parking: In thirty degree parking, the vehicles are parked at


    30 with respect to the road alignment. In this case, more vehicles
    can be parked compared to parallel parking. Also there is better
    maneuverability. Delay caused to the traffic is also minimum in this
    type of parking. An example is shown in figure 2. From the figure,

    1.
    1. For vehicles, L = AC + (N-1)CE =5.58+(N-1)5 =0.58+5N

    Figure 2: Illustration of 30 parking

    45 parking: As the angle of parking increases, more number of vehicles can be parked.

    Hence compared to parallel parking and thirty degree parking, more number of vehicles can be

    accommodated in this type of parking. From figure 3, length of parking space available for parking

    number of vehicles in a given kerb is = 3.54 N+1.77


    Figure 3: Illustration of 45 parking

    1. 60 parking: The vehicles are parked at 60 to the direction

    of road. More number of vehicles can be accommodated in this

    parking type. From the figure 4, length available for parking

    vehicles =2.89N+2.16.
    Figure 4: Illustration of 60 parking

    1. Right angle parking: In right angle parking or 90 parking,

    the vehicles are parked perpendicular to the direction of the

    road. Although it consumes maximum width kerb length

    required is very little. In this type of parking, the vehicles need

    complex maneuvering and this may cause severe accidents.

    This arrangement causes obstruction to the road traffic

    particularly if the road width is less. However, it can

    accommodate maximum number of vehicles for a given kerb


    length. An example is shown in figure 5. Length available for

    parking number of vehicles is = 2.5N.
