Evaluation Of Parking System: A Case Study Of Bijnor City, Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract

Nowhere is the problem of traffic congestion coupled with safety risks and inefficient land usage more prominent than in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, where only growing cities face problems with parking management. Our study employs detailed user surveys, field observation, and feedback loops to thoroughly assess parking conditions in Bijnor City, striving to achieve the comprehensive analysis lacking in previous literature. The bottlenecks uncovered are insufficient parking spaces, the absence of systematic order, over-street parking, and disregard for basic driver education. Adding to the previous gaps, the study analyses commercial, institutional, and residential areas to assess their supply and demand levels concerning parking. Policies and smart parking systems are proposed to meet the parking management objectives and alleviate traffic stress zones, which have never been suggested in the literature. Researchers strive to fill the void in policy literature, which can serve urban planners, local authorities, and decision makers hoping to develop comprehensive and long-term plans for small yet rapidly growing urban areas like Bijnor.
