Abstract:
With an emphasis on urban settings, this study explores the complex relationship between on-road parking and its effects on traffic flow parameters. The study looks into how on- road parking affects vehicle speed and traffic volume. It uses novel methodology that combines license plate based parking surveys, spot speed data collection techniques, and traffic volume data collection techniques. The study establishes correlations between parking-related parameters (like parking volume, parking duration, and effective road width) and traffic parameters through meticulous data analysis. On-street parking was found to have significant effect on traffic dynamics and that the effective road width is a key factor in determining the maximum traffic speed. Regression analysis used in the study's model shows these variables to be significantly correlated. Effective road width exhibits a positive correlation with maximum speed, whereas parking volume and average parking duration display a negative correlation. This study's findings emphasize the significant impact on urban traffic flow and safety of on road parking through some sustainable solution. It emphasizes the necessity of careful urban planning and the formulation of parking policies to lessen negative effect of on-road parking. The suggested methodology provides useful insights for future research and urban policymakers attempting to balance the ease of parking with maintaining ideal traffic conditions.
