On-Street Parking Management and Model for Khargone City

Abstract

Khargone city (8, 030 sq.km) is small area of Madhya Pradesh state with population of 18, 73, 046 lakhs. One of the problems created by road traffic in urban area is parking.

Extensive survey are being at these four places to determine the demand and supply of parking. To find the mean parking time of the vehicle, graph will be also plotted between cumulative parked vehicle and their parking duration. parking demand model will also developed by regression analysis. To obtain higher value of , linear and non-linear model will also be used.
