Each medium of transportation involves three necessary elements, without which it cannot operateeffectively: the vehicle, the right-of-way, and the terminal. For water transportation, these essentials consist of thevessels, waterways, and port facilities; for railroad transportation, trains, tracks, and stations; for air transport, planes,airways and airports. Similarly, the elements of motor transportation are vehicle, the road, and a place to park at theend of the trip.Parking space availability is one of the most serious issues in most of the cities. The increase in heavy population incities has resulted in increase in the travel demand. This demand for parking is increased in an alarming proportion incentral business district (CBD) areas and other work centers of cities. Floods of automobiles flowing in and out in largenumbers have created a stage that there are hardly any chance of entering the central area without delay in time andspeed.The study area is commercial hub of Anand city area which in turn generates high parking demand. The basis of study isparking demand along the station area of Anand. In absence of adequate parking facility, vehicles are park ed along thekerb causing traffic congestion and hazards.
