Sustainable economic growth in last few decades has brought about expansion of the transport sector. The share of transport sector in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India has increased from 6.0% to 6.5% in first decade of twenty first century. During the same time period the contribution of road transport sector in GDP has increased from 3.9% to 4.7%. However because of the progress in development worldwide it is estimated that nearly 30% of urban congestion is created by drivers looking for parking. Uncertainties that generate such congestion include searching for on-street parking availability, facility availability, and cost-comparison "shopping" between parking alternatives, which are all complicated by the need to minimize walking distance or make timely appointments or connections. The adoption of technology to support it however does not appear to have grown at the same rate as still ticket system is being followed. All the major cities of India are facing the problem of parking and Chandigarh- most acclaimed city of world is one of them. The area of Union Territory of Chandigarh is 114 sq. km. only with 22 villages falling in the jurisdiction of Union Territory. Chandigarh has been witnessing traffic congestion and parking problem with increasing vehicle ownership. The vehicle to population ratio is greater than one. In this paper work study about the Central Business Area (CBA) i.e. heart of the city has been carried out. The data collected under the study from various sub-areas of CBA has been analysed to get the present globed view of parking problem in CBA and Advance parking technologies and Parking Supply management techniques such as park and ride facility, dynamic pricing or segment of consumer and consumer/provider constraints has been taken in consideration to tackle the problem have been suggested. |
