This paper presents results of a study carried out
for planning a parking facility in order to mitigate traffic
congestion problem on Sardar Ali Sabri Road near Sir Syed
University of Engineering & Technology (SSUET) Chowk in
Gulshan-e-Iqbal town of Karachi city. American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
guidelines were used in planning of the parking facility. The
planned parking facility has capacity to accommodate around
700 cars and 2000 motorcycles. A traffic study has been carried
out to estimate the space required by vehicles for parking in the
SSUET. Data analysis of traffic growth of Karachi city has been
performed to study the co-relation between traffic growth rate of
Karachi and number of parking vehicles in SSUET. It is found
that no such co-relation exists and the city’s traffic has no impact
on number of parking vehicles in SSUET. It is found that the
parameters, affecting growth of parking traffic in SSUET, are
number of departments of the university and number of seats per
discipline allowed by HEC/PEC. Finally, construction of a
parking plaza in SSUET is proposed for improvement of parking
facilities.
