Content of the presentation
• Parking Characteristics
• Types of parking facilities
• Vehicle dimensions and turning radius
• Off street and On street parking systems
• Future parking systems
Parking design for facilities like….
• Schools/ collages/ institutions
• Auditoriums, town hall, Multiplexes, convention centers etc.
• On street parking systems.
• Shopping malls.
• Industrial facilities
• Bus stations, airports, railway stations, subways, metros, monorail
stations, harbors etc.
How to derive Number of vehicles for parking design ?

• Factors affecting:
1. Target groups 7. Public transport facilities with
2. Classification of traffic convenience
3. Social status 8. Rate of above.
4. Economic status 9. Fuel prices.
5. Social Awareness ( towards 10. Compulsory actions by
using public transport, save authority.
energy, go green, etc.)
6. Special needs
Parking Lot Characteristics.
On each parcel of land developed for nonresidential uses, lots shall be constructed as
follows:

Surfacing. Each lot shall have an all-weather surfacing material and be maintained in
good condition and kept clear and in an unobstructed and usable condition at all times.
Responsibility for maintenance of the lot shall rest with the property owner.
The lot shall provide adequate access to a street or alley.

Grading. Parking lots shall be graded for proper drainage with surface water diverted in
such a way as to keep the parking area free of accumulated water or ice.
Parking Lot Characteristics.

•Lighting.
•Lot shall be properly illuminated with standards arranged so as to reflect light away from
any adjoining residential buildings.

•Size of Spaces.
•The standard parking space measures nine (9) feet wide by twenty (20) feet long, but
sizes may vary to provide for vehicles that are larger or smaller than standard size.

Recommendations on the Provision of Parking Spaces
for Urban Areas
Residential
Detached, semi-detached and row houses
Plot Area up to 100 sq.m No private or community parking space is
required
Plot Area 101–200 sq.m Only community parking space is required
Plot Area 201–300 sq.m Only community parking space is required
Plot Area 301–500 sq.m Minimum one-third of the open area
should be earmarked for parking
Plot Area 501–1000 sq.m Minimum one-fourth of the open area
should be earmarked for parking
Plot Area 1001+sq.m Minimum one-sixth of the open area
should
be earmarked for parking
DIMENSIONS FOR STANDARD PARKING SPACES

Parking Angle Space Width (feet) Space Length (feet)

90° 9’ 18’
60° 9’ 21’
45° 9’ 19’10”
30° 9’ 16’10”
parallel 8’ 24’
On the basis of the style of Parking Areas, there
are two major types of Parking:

1. On Street Parking
2. Off Street Parking
TYPES OF OFF STREET PARKING SYSTEMS

1.Basement parking
2.Podium parking
3.Roof top parking

Minimum Turning Radius for a standard Car
 However, it consumes the maximum length and therefore only a
minimum number of vehicles can be parked for a given length. This
method of parking produces least obstruction to the on-going track
on the road since least road width is used.
 DIFFERENT OUTDOOR PARKING
PATTERNS

Parking parallel
to the road
On Street Parking: Parallel Parking system

 As the name itself suggests, “On-street Parking” means the area allotted for Parking
purpose at the sides of the roads. For efficiency in Parking system;
 the On street Parking is divided into three types:
1.Angular Parking
2.Perpendicular Parking (efficient Parking Method)
3.Parallel Parking
 Perpendicular Parking

 The vehicles are parked at right angle to the road.

 It is an efficient system of Parking.
