Introduction

One of the problems created by road traffic is parking. Not only do vehicles require

street space to move about, but also do they require space to park where the occupants

can be loaded and unloaded. The period over which a car is parked is very great

compared with the time it is in motion. The size of average parking space is 14 m2. It is

roughly estimated that out of 8760 hours in a year, the car runs on an average for only

400 hours, leaving 8360 hours when it is parked. Every car owner would wish to park

the car as closely as possible to his destination so as to minimize his walking.
