Introduction

A parking space, parking place or parking spot is a

location that is designated for parking, either paved or
unpaved. It can be in a parking garage, in a parking lot
or on a city street.

space is not a easy job. It seeks a lot of parameters
which we need to know, we need to find out with the
help of simple data by applying some technique.
Evolution of Parking
Early Parking in the 1400s
The more that people began to utilize different forms of
transportation, the demand for parking lots became prevalent. Cars
were lined up, similar to our modern-day parking lots. This type of
parking was utilized until the late 1800s, which was when
automobiles came into the picture. As much as the manufacturing
pace of cars was slow, it was bound to lead to a gradual boom in
consumers, thus, parking spaces.

The Rise of Parking in the Late 1800s to the Early 1900s

With time, there was a greater number of people who owned cars, so
parking became a rather large necessity. The cars were so large in
size that the only parking lots made possible were if they were
organized diagonally or in garage. Diagonal parking lots were rather
organized and clean, although there were still improvements to be
made. These specific parking lots and garages were huge by today’s
standards and the size of the spaces was just as great.
Evolution of Parking
The Modern-Day Parking Lot
Aside from the forgetfulness of where you may have
parked your car, smaller and more compact parking lots
have allowed for businesses and commercial properties to
make their services available to larger audiences. Parking
lots are not only limited to a diagonal organization. Some
modern-day parking lots are rather standards and are
aligned to lead straight into a commercial property.
Parallel parking has become rather common as well and is

Parking lots are essential for efficient and time-friendly
travel and these simple spaces never fail to grow or
innovate.

Effects of
Congestion. Parking takes considerable street space leading to
the lowering of the road capacity. Hence, speed will be reduced,
journey time and delay will also subsequently increase. The
Parking operational cost of the vehicle increases leading to great
economical loss to the community.
Accidents. Careless maneuvering of parking and unparking leads
to accidents which are referred to as parking accidents. Common
type of parking accidents occur while driving out a car from the
parking area, careless opening of the doors of parked cars, and
while bringing in the vehicle to the parking lot for parking.
Environmental pollution. They also cause pollution to the
environment because stopping and starting of vehicles while
parking and unparking results in noise and fumes. They also aced
the aesthetic beauty of the buildings because a car parked at
every available space creates a feeling that building rises from a
plinth of cars.
Obstruction to firefighting operations. Parked vehicles may
obstruct the movement of firefighting vehicles. Sometimes they
block access to hydrants and access to buildings.

problem?
Conclusion Cityscapes around the world are changing, architects face the
constant challenge of integrating parking space into new or
existing real estate in densely built-up urban environments. While
there is a growing ambition to replace cars as a prime mobility
tool.
Most downtown revitalizations today require structured parking.
Where space is tight, access ramp or radius of a conventional
parking garage may be hard to fit. Because robotic parking
systems require neither these nor access for pedestrians.
They can place up to 60% more cars in the same space –
increasing the RoI on parking spaces Alternatively, the same
number of cars can be parked in 60% of the space of a
conventional parking garage, creating significant cost savings in
the construction phase. In either case, the user experience in
robotic parking systems – brightly lit entrance areas, safe vehicle
retrieval processes and reduced car fumes as the search for
parking is effectively eliminated .
