urban transport policy worldwide to mitigate parking related issues.
In absence of poor supply with respect to parking demand, unauthorized parking shoot up in metro cities and it goes in
increase as there is tremendous growth in vehicle ownership. On the other side parking management and enforcement is
observed very poor in Indian cities. Unauthorized parking can lead to reduced traffic speeds, congestion, changes in
modal choice, loss of revenue from valid parking line in respect for the law and even to accidents.
User are also not ready to pay and park which leads to increment in unauthorized parking. There is no effective
mechanism to deal with current situation and existing methods to cope up with.
On the basis of literature review it is observed that present scenario in which system of towing and manually lock system
has the limitations of capacity and not more effective and because of that loses to the government also results which
creates many problems to traffic rules and regulations.
So the study is focusing on unauthorized parking issues and suggesting an alternate solution or effective mechanism to
