Abstract

Parking this term is one of the most important topics of discussion in the developing cities. Inthe cities like Dhaka where unplanned urbanization prevails in a greater extent; parking problem

is the most common scenario there. In the developing countries cities are growing without

considering the inherent increasing parking demand. Mirpur road is one of the most problematic

roads of Dhaka city in context of parking problem. To assess the current scenario of the

problems and to formulate some policy measures is the main focus of this study. In this study

some major parking generators along Mirpur has been surveyed and their parking demand-

supply situation has been analyzed. Considering the Parking Policy for the Dhaka Metropolitan

Development Plan Area, 2002 and the results from the analysis some policy measures has been

formulated to manage the parking demand more efficiently.

Chapter 01: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Transportation is one of the most discussed issues for Dhaka city now-a-days. Due to lack of

proper transport planning, lives of city dwellers have become really hard. A very significant

part of transportation planning is parking. People have become habituated to park of cars just

on the road for a long time which eventually degrades the efficiency of the road.

Mirpur road is one of the most busiest and important roads in Dhaka city which generates a

huge number of traffics. Commercial buildings can be treated to be mostly responsible for

this traffic generation. This study aims at analyzing the demand and supply situation ofdifferent commercial land uses along Mirpur road. This will provide an overview on the

actual parking scenario along Mirpur road.

1.2 Objectives

To analyze present parking demand and supply situation of different commercial

land uses along Mirpur Road. To formulate some recommendations for the improvements of present parking

situation.

1.3 Methodology

Project Identification and Selection of Study Area

The second project under this course aims to study about parking. Considering that the course

teachers identified Parking Demand Supply Analysis of Different Commercial Land Uses

as the project title. Mirpur road has been selected as the potential study area for this project.

Objective Formulation

Relevant objectives of the study have been formulated by taking the scopes and limitations

into account.

Literature Review

Related journals, reports and prior studies in abroad have been explored to get a clear

concept about the parking demand supply analysis. The relevant parking terms have been

identified and studied for the further analysis of the study.

Reconnaissance Survey and Selection of Parking Generators

The potential commercial buildings in context of parking generation have been identified

along Mirpur road through group wise reconnaissance survey. Among the potential

parking generator, 14 commercial buildings have been selected for this study by the

course teachers. The selection has been done by keeping the type of parking provisions

and their relative geographical location in mind. After selecting 14 buildings, each group

have been provided 2 commercial buildings on the basis on lottery among the groups.

Parking Inventory Survey

Parking Inventory Survey has been done by each group at their own study buildings. Data

about the width of road, width of footpath, length of curb, type of parking provisions (on-

street or off-street or both), parking supply (no. of lots provided), parking signs, parking

pattern (existing layout) etc. have been done in this step.

Parking Usage Survey by Patrol

The parking Usage Survey has been the most important survey for this study. Three time

frames have been selected for this survey: 11.00 AM -1.00 PM, 3.00 PM-5.00 PM and

6.00 PM 7.00 PM. The survey has been done with 15 minutes interval. At a particular

time, a surveyor recorded the registration number of the cars parking in the study

buildings by going from one side to other side of the parking area. After 15 minutes

interval, the surveyor again recorded the registration number and this time starting from

the previous end point. The survey ended after completing the procedure stated above for

20 times (four times per hour and total survey period was five hours). The survey has

been done both at Dhanmondi Plaza and Momtaz Plaza and both for on-street and off-

street parking provision.

Demand Supply Analysis

The calculation about Parking Volume, Parking Accumulation, Parking Load, Parking

Duration, Parking Index, Parking Turn-over etc. have been done with the collected data.

The demand and supply scenario have been analyzed from these terms.

Findings

From the analysis, the scenario in both of the study buildings has been identified whether

there is parking deficit or parking surplus in those buildings.

Recommendation

Policy measures and required parking spaces have been recommended for the buildings

by keeping the result in mind. Change in existing charge for off-street parking and

imposition of deterrent charge for on-street parking has been recommended for

improving the parking condition.

Preparation of Final Report

After combining all the procedures stated above, the final report has been prepared.

1.5 Scope of the Study

This study tends to find out the parking demand and supply scenario. Researchers,

Planners, Policy Makers will get an idea about the parking situation along with one of the

most important roads of Dhaka city, Mirpur road. As illegal parking severely affects the

road efficiency, the study will also be help for transport engineers. It will can be an

overview for taking decisions about implementing charge for on-street parking,

prohibition of on-street parking, co-coordinating between the demand and surplus supply

thus total parking management.

1.6 Limitation of the Study

The parking usage survey by patrol was done for only one day which can bring biased

result due to weather condition or type of the day (working or holiday). Very small

sample size used can bring possibility of large margin of error.

Chapter 02: Conceptual Definition and Literature Review

2.1 Parking Terms

To analyze the existing parking demand and supply condition and to formulate

recommendation for the improvement, some terms are very important to be studied.

Parking Volume

Parking volume is the total number of vehicles parked at a given duration of time. This does

not account for repetition of vehicles. The individual vehicle entered in the area is recorded.

Parking Accumulation

It is defined as the number of vehicles parked at a given instant of time. Normally this is

expressed by accumulation curve. Accumulation curve is the graph obtained by plotting the

number of bays occupied with respect to time.

Parking Load

Parking load gives the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be obtained by simply

multiplying the number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each time interval with the

time interval. It is expressed as vehicle hours.

Parking IndexParking index is also called occupancy or efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of number of

bays occupied in time duration to the total space available. It gives an aggregate measure of

how effectively the parking space is utilized. Parking index can be found out as follows:

Average Parking Duration

It is the ratio of total vehicle hours to the number of vehicles parked.

Parking Turnover

It is the ratio of number of vehicles parked in duration to the number of parking bays

available. This can be expressed as number of vehicles per bay per time duration.

Parking Spillover

It is the difference between the parking demand and the available parking supply in any

certain period of time. Its value indicates no. of parking deficit in that time period.(Rao & Mathew, 2007)

2.2 Parking Demand and Supply

Parking Demand

It refers to the amount of parking that would be used at a particular time, place and price. It is

a critical factor in evaluating parking problems and solutions. Parking demand is affected by

vehicle ownership, trip rates, mode split, duration (how long motorists park), geographic

location (i.e., downtown, regional town centre or suburban), the quality of travel alternatives,

type of trip (work, shopping, recreational), and factors such as fuel and road pricing.

There are usually daily, weekly and annual demand cycles. For example, parking demand

usually peaks on weekdays at office buildings and on weekend evenings at theaters and

restaurants. Parking demand can change with transportation, land use and demographic

patterns. For example, a particular building may change from industrial to residential or

office use, neighborhood demographics and density may change, and the quality of transit

service may change, all of which affects parking demand.

Different types of trips have different types of parking demand, and different types of parking

facilities tend to serve different types of trips. For example, commuters need long-term

parking, and because they park all day they are relatively price sensitive. Many commutersare willing to walk several blocks for cheaper parking. Off-street parking leased by the month

tends to serve commuters. Customers need shorter-term parking that is located as close as

possible to their destination, and are often willing to pay a relatively high hourly price for

increased convenience. On-street parking that is metered or regulated to maximize turnover

tends to serve customers (Victoria Transport Policy Institute, 2011).

Parking Supply

It refers to availability of parking space. Parking is a major urban land use. Availability of

parking (parking supply) usually depends in large measure on intensity of development and

cost of land. It may be governed by building codes or ordinances, and it may be controlled to

achieve some strategic economic or policy purpose.

The adjustment of parking supply outside the normal processes of the private marketplace to

achieve strategic objectives is often referred to as parking management. Management of

parking supply is a balancing act. If too much parking is provided in surface lots, it uses

valuable land resources and often results in widely-spaced and disconnected development

patterns. Too little parking or poorly designed or located parking can result in parking

spillover to adjacent areas, lead travelers to choose alternate destinations, and/or inhibit

development (Transport Research Board, 2003).

2.3 Prior Study of Parking Demand and Supply

Downtown Huntington Parking Study

The study has been carried out at the CBD area of the Town of Huntington. The objective of

this study was to provide details on the efficiency of existing parking facilities and determine

the need for revising the existing parking supply. To gather information on existing parking

supply and its use, parking inventories have been done. Accumulation (or occupancy) checks

and license plate checks are the two types of usage studies used in this study. A total of 124

parking spaces were identified in the downtown area. The parking survey was performed for

one day. The study started at 7.00 AM and was performed every half hour until 8.00 PM. The

number of occupied parking spaces was recorded at the beginning of each interval. In

addition, parking turnover information was collected by recording the last three license plate

characters. From the survey result, the parking in downtown Huntington did not seem overly

problematic. Most streets and lots did not reach their full capacity at any time during the day.

In addition, many of these areas could withstand a much higher volume of automobiles.

(Pioneer Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization, 2006)

Case Study on Supply and Demand for University Parking Facilities in

College of Engineering UNITEN

This study was carried out at the main campus of Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). The

objectives were to identify the current parking supply and next five years parking demand in

the university area and gave suggestions or recommendations to solving the problem. The

study consist parking inventory, parking usage survey using license

Plate numbers method and parking interview for determination the current parking supply.

From the result of current data, the next five years future parking demand had been estimated

by study and information from the administration data, questionnaire, and parking space

zoning regulation and parking generation. This study did not find any problem except with

one lot which was totally opposite of what the students of the university claimed. For future

parking demand 1540 parking spaces should be provided in five years time. As

recommendation, besides built a new parking area, which is more costly, law enforcement

must done strictly to restrict the non-sticker userspark at the university parking.

(Ismail & Norhisham, 2008)

2.4 Parking Policy of Bangladesh

In order to reduce congestion and improve the traffic movement within the DMDPA, the

DTCB has taken the initiative to outline strategies to reduce the negative effects of parking.

This is to be achieved by formulating a parking policy. First draft of this policy was prepared

by DTCB in February 2002 and was reviewed by the World Bank. Based on their

suggestions, the policy document was revised with the assistance of a specialist and was

circulated among concerned agencies in mid October 2002. The basic policy sectors were:Jurisdiction, Demand for Parking Spaces, Supply of Parking Spaces, Parking Regulation,

Enforcement of Regulations, Operation and Maintenance, Institutional Setup and

Strengthening Supportive Legislation. Some related issues regarding demand for parking

spaces were: spatial growth trends within DMDPA, work centers, spatial development

policies for Dhaka, increasingvehicle ownership, heteroginity of vehicles etc.there were also

issues discussed regarding parking supply. Those were: supply of off-street parking spaces,

parking standards, supply of on-street parking spaces, slow augmentation of road capacity,

parking for non-motorized vehicles etc (DTCB, 2005).

The relevant and selected segment of parking policy which is duly considered during forming

recommendations is provided below

Policies on Managing Parking Demand

1.Non-restrictive parking shall be adopted in residential areas where the demand for parking

is much less than the available of parking spaces.

2. Restrictive parking shall be adopted in areas where the demand exceeds the available

parking spaces. These shall be enforced through pricing and regulatory mechanisms.

3.Two types of parking charges shall be levied at public parking places in the restrictive

parking areas. Normal charges aimed to recover of operation and maintenance expenses,

shall be levied in locations where the parking provision does not adversely affect the

movement of traffic. Deterrent parking charges shall be more than the normal charges and


16/39

9

shall be adopted in areas where parking demand is in excess of supply or in places where

parking is observed to adversely affect the movement of traffic.

4.Regulations shall include parking restrictions to specific or all types of vehicles either by

time of day or by duration or for specific purpose of travel or for vehicles carrying less than

specified number of passengers per vehicle or by location.

Policies on Supply of Parking Spaces

5.Parking standards shall be reviewed once every five years. Necessary modifications shall

be incorporated in the building rules.

6. There shall be regular monitoring of parking provisions in all buildings. Buildings found to

be deficient in parking provisions vis--vis current building rules shall be required to pay a

parking facility fees. This shall be in proportion to the extent of violation with respect to the

required provision. The revenue from this source shall be used for augmenting parking

facilities (on-street / off-street) in the area.

Policies on Operation and Maintenance of Parking Facilities

7. Concerned local authorities shall be responsible for the efficient operation and

maintenance of public parking facilities.

Policies on Parking Regulation

8. In restrictive parking areas, on-street parking shall be prohibited on all roads within the

area except at places where it is specifically permitted by authorized road signs and markings.

Policies on Enforcement of Regulations

9.The Local Police shall be responsible for enforcing parking regulations as notified by the

Police Chief.

10. They shall assign adequate number of police personnel of appropriate rank for

surveillance and enforcement of parking regulations in each zone. Each zone shall have a

tow truck to facilitate eviction of offending vehicles.

Chapter 03: Analysis of Demand and Supply

In this chapter demand and supply scenario of the two selected parking generator along

Mirpur road has been portrayed. Each generator has been analyzed separately according to

on-street and off-street parking supply and demand. The parking characteristics of these two

generators along Mirpur road have been figured out through various parking terms.

3.1 Dhanmondi Plaza

Dhanmondi plaza is a medium scale commercial complex. Parking pressure of this generator

is moderate. Majority of its parking demand is from the ground floor retail shops.

3.1.1 Supply Scenario

There is no designated off-street parking provision for Dhanmondi plaza. Vehicles are parked

in the designated spaces just in front of the market. Vehicles are parked on the Footpath and

Concrete Slab (property boundary) together because their altitude is same as the road surface.

Though these on street parking spaces are approved by the market authority but its illegal;

because of encroachment public facilities (footpath). Vehicles are parked in an angular

arrangement (300- 450) in one layer or row. Total 12 vehicles can be parked at a time. There

is no parking charge and parking regulatory sign.

Existing on-street parking provision is explained below with the help of the figures.

3.1.2 Demand Scenario

Parking usage survey by patrol for on-street parking has been conducted for five hour. Survey

data and calculation is shown in Appendix (Page I- Page III). The demand for parking has

been explained through various parking terms in the following section.

Parking Volume

Total parking volume over a period of five hour is 78 vehicles. That means total 78 individual

vehicles has been experienced during the survey period. So per hourly average volume of

vehicular parking are 15.6; which means on an average in every hour 15.6 new vehicles come

into this market.


Parking accumulation curve gives the information that parking demand is in peak position

during the time period 12:00 AM 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM 7:00 PM. Average

accumulation of parking is 8.5 vehicles per 15 minutes; which means in every 15 minutes 8.5

vehicles are expected to present as the parking demand. (Parking Accumulation Table:

Appendix - Page II)

Figure-5:Parking Accumulation Curve of On-Street Parking (Dhanmondi Plaza)

Parking Index and Spillover

Provision of the on-street parking supply is illegal but its efficiency has been calculated to

know whether the present provision is sufficient or not. Average parking index is 70.83. It

means 70.83% capacity is being utilized. (Parking Index and Spillover Table: Appendix -

Parking spill over has been occurred for only one time period 12:45 AM 1:00 PM (peak

period); which indicates sufficiency of the existing parking supply.

Parking Turnover

Total parking volume is 78 vehicles over a time period of 5 hour. No. of space available is

12. So parking turnover is 6.5(78/12) vehicles per space over a time period of 5 hour. It

indicates every space is used by 6.5 vehicles over the time period. This turnover figure

represents that available parking spaces are used quite efficiently used.

Maximum amount of vehicles (61.5%) average duration of parking is 15 minutes. This is

because customers come into the market only for the grocery shopping which usually dont

take so much time. The average vehicle-hour occupation is 0.43 hour/vehicle. It indicates that

on an average one vehicle is expected to stay on the parking area 0.43 hour (26 minutes).

3.2 Mamtaz Plaza

Its a moderately large scale commercial complex along the Mirpur road. Parking pressure of

this generator is moderate. Ground floor retail shops contribute much in the parking demand.

3.2.1 Supply Scenario

Parking supply of this commercial parking generator can be seen from two perspectives.

They are: illegal on-street parking practice and designated off-street parking provision.

Theoretically the illegal on-street parking spaces will not be treated as supply in this study.

Only the designated off-street parking spaces will be counted as supply in the later portion.

Illegal On-Street Parking

There is no designated on-street parking provision for this commercial complex. Vehicles are

parked on two sides of the building; at the eastern side (on Mirpur road) and at the northern

side (on Road No. 04). At the front side vehicles are parked just on the Mirpur road in one

lane parallel to the road. At the northern side vehicles are parked both angular (90 0) and

parallel to the road. Parking regulatory sign (No Parking) is presentbut its not followed.

There is no parking charge. Vehicles are unable to park on the footpath because of the high

altitude (1-0) from the road surface.Total 14-16 vehicle can be parked in both sides.

Existing on-street parking provision is enlightened below with the help of the figures.

-Restricted Parking Bays (Mamtaz Plaza)

Off-Street Parking Provision

At the basement of Mamtaz plaza there is off-street parking provision. Parking provision is

for one floor consisting with the total parking area 13050 sq. ft. Total capacity of this

underground parking is 28 vehicles at a time. Parking charge is applicable here. The amount

is 10 taka per hour fixed by the market authority. Restriction on parking at certain parking

bays/lots (2) is imposed for maneuvering purpose. This reduces the capacity of this parking

provision. Parking lots are arranged in a grid-iron pattern. Bays are arranged in two lanes

separated by a driveway. The air ventilation is not up to the mark and light is not sufficient.

Existing off-street parking provision is clarified below with the help of the figures.

3.2.2 Demand Scenario

To assess the total parking demand of this commercial generator parking usage survey by

patrol has been conducted both in the on-street and off-street parking spaces. Survey data and

calculation is shown in Appendix (Page IV- PageVIII). Later total number of vehicles arrived

in a day in both spaces has been added to find out the gross parking demand for this

commercial land use. The parking demand is clarified with various parking terms in the

following section.

Parking Volume

Parking volume is 154 vehicle in on-street and 31 vehicle in off-street over the time period of

five hour. Combined gross parking demand for this commercial land use is 185 vehicles in

duration of five hour.


Combined parking accumulation curve shows that both the on-street and off-street parking is

in peak position during the time period of 11.00 AM 12.30 PMand 3.00 PM 4.00 PM. In

this two time period the combined accumulation crossed the combined average accumulation

(26.55 vehicle/15 minutes). The combined average accumulation indicates that if the parkingdemand is treated as combined; in every 15 minutes 26.55 vehicles have to be supplied with

parking bays to fulfill the demand. (Parking Accumulation Table: Appendix-VII)

Parking index is calculated to find out the utilized capacity of the off-street parking bays in

separate time frame. This calculation is based on the assumption that on-street parking

demand is diverted along with off-street parking demand in the underground parking

provision. From the parking index and spillover table in Appendix (Page VII) it can be seen

that parking bays are utilized most efficiently during the peak period (11.00 AM 12.30 PM

and 3.00 PM 4.00 PM). It also indicates that parking pressure will be tough to handle if the

parking volume is increased in the future during this time period.

Parking spillover has been calculated to find out the deficiency in the existing parking

provision in any certain time period. For the combined parking demand spillover has been

experienced during the peak period (11.00 AM -11.15 AM, 11.45 AM 12.30 PM and 3.30

PM 3.45 PM). The spillover is ranging from 1-3 parking space deficiency at a time. There

is possibility of occurring spillover during the time period 11.15 AM 11.45 AMand 3.00

PM3.15 PMif the future parking demand increases just a unit.

Parking Turnover

Combined parking volume is 185 vehicles over a time period of 5 hour. No. of space

available in the underground parking provision is 28 at a time. So parking turnover is 6.61

(185/28) vehicles per space over a time period of 5 hour. It indicates every space is used by

6.61 vehicles over the time period. This turnover figure represents that available parking

spaces will be used quite efficiently, if the on-street parking demand is shifted towards

underground along with the off-street parking demand.

Vehicle-Hour Occupation

Vehicles are classified according to their average duration of stay. Then their contribution in

the total parking load over the time period (5 hour) is calculated through vehicle-hours of

occupation. Vehicle-Hours of occupation has been calculated separately both for the on-street

and off-street parking (Appendix-Page VIII). From this calculation specific type of vehicles

(based on duration) can be identified, contributing most in the parking load. Which time

durations (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour etc.) parking occurs most can be also identified from this

calculation; which is an important decision for parking planning.

Vehicle-Hours of occupation for both the on-street and off-street parking is clarified in the

next section.

Figure-16: On-Street Vehicle-Hours of Occupation (Mamtaz Plaza)

In case of on-street parking average duration 15 min is the most contributing sector in

vehicle-hour occupation. This is because people usually park for short time in on-street

parking spaces when they come to this commercial complex for short term. This short term

parking is contributed much by the ground floor retail shops.

Reverse situation has been experienced in case of underground/off-street parking. In this casea long term parking or high average duration (2 hour and 5 hour) vehicle contributes much.

This is because people usually use the underground parking bays in case of long term parking

to avoid the hassle in on-street parking.

Chapter 04: Findings and Recommendations

In this chapter the major findings from the previous chapters demand supply analysis will be

sorted. Some recommendations will be formulated to manage the existing parking demand in

guidance with the Parking Policy for the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan Area

(DTCB, 2002). In the major findings segment the sources of the data is mentioned inside the

bracket. In case of recommendations the related segment of the Parking Policy for DMDP

Area, 2002 has been mentioned in a bracket form.

4.1 Dhanmondi Plaza

Major Findings

Absence of any kind of legal parking supply (Field Survey).

Designated but illegal on-street parking-12 parking spaces (Field Survey).

Highest parking demand is 13 vehicles in 15 minutes interval (Parking Accumulation)

On an average 70% of the existing capacity is being used (Parking Index)

Majority of the parking demand come for short term - 60% for 15 minutes (Vehicle-

Hours of Occupation)

Recommendations

On-Street parking should be banned and provision of off-street parking for the

existing parking demand in the shortest possible of time (Policies on Parking

Regulation).

Total 15 parking bays should be provided in the underground considering the highest

present demand and the changing demand in the future.

Until the provision of underground parking deterrent parking charge (50 taka for 10

minutes) should be imposed for on-street parking to discourage it (Policies on

Managing Parking Demand).

In the underground parking provision parking charge should be applicable (30 taka

per hour) to bear the maintenance cost and to discourage long term parking (Policies

on Managing Parking Demand).


26/39

22

4.2 Mamtaz Plaza

Major Findings

Illegal on-street parking reduces the effective carriageway width (33-0 reduces to

29-0) thereby causing congestion on the road (Field Survey).

Total capacity of the underground parking provision is 28 vehicles at a time (Field

Survey).

Highest combined demand will be 31 vehicles in a time period of 15 minutes

(Parking Accumulation).

On an average 95% of the existing parking capacity will be used if parking demand is

treated as combined. Presently only 55% of the capacity has been used by the off-

street parking demand (Parking Index).

Spillover will be likely to experience during the peak period (11.00 AM 12.30 PM

and 3.00 PM 4.00 PM) if the parking demand is treated as combined (Parking

Spillover)

On-street parking is dominated by the short term parking characteristics and off-street

parking is dominated by the longer parking duration.(Vehicle-Hours of Occupation)

Recommendations

On-Street parking should be strictly prohibited through the law enforcing agencies

(Policies on Enforcement of Regulations). As an alternate option they should be

shifted and encouraged towards off-street parking through regulatory sign and low

parking charge (10 taka per hour) during the off-peak period.

Parking charge should vary during the peak (30 taka per hour) and off-peak (10 taka

per hour) period to manage the parking demand with respect to the available capacity(Policies on Managing Parking Demand).

Parking area should be improved in terms of ventilation and maintenance by the local

authority with the revenue money collected in the form of parking charge (Policies on

Operation and Maintenance of Parking Facilities).

4.3 Conclusion

Parking demand management is now an important issue all over the world. As more as the

world getting modernized and mechanized the no. of vehicles are increasing. To provide

parking spaces for all this vehicles in the working hour and in the free hour is a tough job.

Various strategies such as- restriction, pricing, fixation of time duration etc are practiced all

over the world to minimize this problem. In the worlds most densely populated city like

Dhaka space for parking is some kind luxury. To manage the huge parking demand in the

peak period limited spaces should be used fruitfully. Through practicing effective and

suitable strategies according to Parking Policy for the Dhaka Metropolitan Development

Area, 2002 this can be achieved. Parking policy should be strictly maintained and the

regularly updated according to the emerging changing situation.
