1. Introduction
The bodily inter of any transportation system has three elementary parts; the
automobile, the roadway and the parking (Everett and Wolfgang, 1978).
Parking is
characterised because the motion of stopping or disengaging an car and leaving
it unoccupied (Patel, Ok and al. 2017) . T his venture will examine the proposed
area on the Cape Peninsula College of Expertise (CPUT) to design an open
parking takin g into consideration the relevant design standards to serve the
proposed new constructing to accommodate workers members, college students and guests as
illustrate d on the picture under (determine 1) . Moreover the relevan t design
consideration associated to op en parking might be disc ussed and a full set of elaborate
AutoCad drawings offered.

2. Background info
The open parking to be desi gned on the professional posed web site, of an space of approx imately
16694.81 sq. metres (determine 1) should first accommodate the customers (workers,
college students and guests) of the proposed new constructing which might be drawn up of two
flooring reserved for workplace s and a floor flooring comprising 6 lecture the atres and
afterwards accommodate vi sitors of adjoining constructing such because the PLMCC constructing
and the mechanical constructing. The proposed parkin g space will be considered under in
(Determine 1)

three. Web site investigations
The positioning investigation confirmed that the proposed space is sufficiently giant and
accessible by 2 predominant methods, Khayalethu means and Engineering means. Due to this fact,
step one is to formulate and develop an excellent plan for web site format to prov ide
acceptable entrances and exit methods bearing in mind the prevailing visitors round

the location with a purpose to keep away from doable visitors jams. There’s some present parking area
across the proposed web site, particularly alongside the Engineering means and in entrance of th e
mechanical division (Determine 2).
The visitors survey across the web site reported that the E ngin eering means is probably the most
used means between the two methods and it s visitors is comparatively increased in comparison with the
khayalethu meanss visitors, this indication ought to be consid ered when designing the
open parking to keep away from disrupting the motion of visitors across the web site.

four. Design concerns
four.1. Further constructing
A preliminary design of the extra b uilding consists of a floor flooring space
comprising primarily 6 lectures theatres whereas the second and final flooring might be
allotted workplace area. Generally, lecture theatre s have a capability of between 300
and 60 zero, subsequently a mean capability of 400 seats wi ll be used on this venture and
a mean variety of 25 workplaces per flooring.

Relying on the above outcomes, the variety of parking areas ought to be at lea st
320 to acc ommodate workers members, college students and guests.
four.2. Open parking design concerns
There are lots of methods by which parki ng provide will be made obtainable, thus as
beforehand said, the venture offers with the open parking zone and the mandatory
requ irement for its format . An open parking or a parking tons is usually design to
obtain the next goals (Pignataro, 1973):
? Present most variety of areas
? Complete journey discomfort when parking, unparking and driving throughout the lot.
? Reduce infe rence of entrance and exit lanes with the movement of pedestrian
and automobile exterior the lot.
Two predominant open parking format are typically used to supply a most quantity
of area , the primary format is the 90 diploma parking and the second is the angle d
parki ng (30, 60 and 45).
four.2.1. 90 diploma parking
The perpendicular or 90 diploma parking configuration makes use of probably the most usable area.
This mannequin is especially efficient in low turnover or lengthy -term parking areas.
Automobiles can use the aisle in both means and journey dis tance is decreased. Opposite
to the parking angles, the perpendicular parking configuration is probably the most
useful and price -effective because it accommodates the vast majority of autos per linea r
meter and eliminates the lifeless -end aisles , lowering waste area.
Adva ntage s
? Works nicely for both one and even two -way aisles
? Covers most autos per sq. meter of pavement
? Cowl s most autos per linear meter
Disadvantages
? Wants largest space
? Tough dealing with for some drivers
? Two -way visitors could trigger create some per ception issues

Determine three: design automobile and 90 diploma parking (Mackey and al. 1978)
The opposite angle d parking are characterised as parking having an angle of lower than
90 levels ( 60,45 and 30 ) for these parking the a technique circ ulation is fascinating for
a busy lot. Such fashions are frequent ly used f or buyer parking (Pignataro, 1973)
four.2.2. Angled 60 diploma
This format is appropriate for quick turnover charge or principally quick time period use and is
marked by difficulties with inefficient stream sample s and one -way aisles.
Benefits
? Stop manoeuvring out and in of parking areas
? Good imaginative and prescient
? Permits both one or two -way aisles
? Most typical quick time period parking format
Disadvantages
? Wants extra pavement per automobile than perpendicular format
four.2.three. Angled 30 and 45 diploma
Each configurations are much like 60 diploma parking however dont match nicely with 2 means
aisles and permit extra pavement per automobile than 90 diploma parking configuration.
Any parking angle between 30 and 75 diploma s can also be used to maximise the
use of t he space, with lower than 30 levels of extra area being wasted on the finish
of the rows. The format above 75 diploma isn’t any extra environment friendly than 90 diploma (Everett
and Wolfgang 1978).

four.three. Design parameters
The design parameters of the completely different format configura tion ar e summarised within the
desk under.
Desk 2: D esign parameters (Mackey and al. 1978 )
four.three.1. Kind of visitors stream
The primary issue to be contemplate ed within the design of parking construction is the
willpower of the kind of visitors stream or the route of auto visitors : a technique
or two means. Generally, a parking bay for a single means visitors stream is smaller
than for a two -way stream. A ccessible web site measurements will influence the width of
the parking bay and thus influence the circulation design . There are beneficial
circumstances and inconveniences to each course designs . A single route or one –
means visitors stream isn’t suitable with 90 diploma parking (CCDC, 2016) .
The next choices are typically used:
? One -way aisle 45 diploma
? One -way 60 diploma
? One -way aisle 90 diploma
? Two -way aisle 90 diploma
Benefit of a technique visitors stream
? Much less clashes in circulation and decreased accident threat
? Allow the parking angle to be modified to accommodate automobile dimension
modifications.
? Parking areas are easier for parkers to enter and exit.
? Higher visibility within the backup of a stall

TSHINGAM B Achille KABASH 21 9385343
Benefit of two means visitors stream
? Higher angle of visibility when look ing for a parking area
? As an alternative of being compelled, t raffic stream follows its personal sample .
? Wider drive aisles enable parkers to move different autos and are protected for
pedestrians
? Can perform successfully as one -way amenities when the directional visitors is
heavy
four.four. Grading and drainage
Acceptable flooring drainage is appropriate for every type of parking construction s, together with
open parking, to handle r unoff. The next minimal is usually utilized
(parking design consideration, 1988) :
? A design slope of two%
? Storm water ought to be collected on the perimeter of the parking space with a
minimal of two% slope
? Pavement cross slope and lo ngitudinal pavement slope should vary from 1%
to 10% and 1% to five% respectively.
? Ground drain loca tions are dictated by the circulation system, quantity of bays,
and structural system. Due to this fact is that this venture, the best slope of two% might be
used as sugge st ed.
four.5. Parking for disabled
The p arking quantity for the disabled is ready to 10 as proven above . D isabled parking
bays might be locat ed near the constructing for simpler entry. Positions are proven in
the drawing appendix.
four.6. Lighting
Lighted parking areas are an necessary concerns for all amenities. This
venture concern s open parking areas, which signifies that it will likely be illuminated by
daylight throughout the day. Nevertheless, throughout evening time, the design ought to present
lighting that meet the minimal customary of 1 2 foot -candles and 10 -20 lux
(CCDC, 2016 and parking design concerns , 1998) .
10
TSHINGAM B Achille KABASH 21 9385343
four.7. Sign and means discovering
A nicely designed street sign system might be positioned at strategic locations to
talk needed info to the customers (workers, college students and v isitors),
cut back confusion and enhance security. These indicators will embody the next
pedestrians and autos indicators:
? Pace restrict relaxation rict ions
? Command indicators
? Parking prohibited signal
? Extreme noise prohibited
? Disabled parking space
? Guests parking are a
? Cease signal
? Parking reservation indicators
? Entrance and exit factors

5. Conclusion
Conclusion s and assumptions of this venture are as follows
5.1. Parking format
The purpose of this venture is to maximise the variety of parking bays and to make sure
optima l visitors circulation, thus, a perpendicular or 90 diploma parking design will
be used for this venture as it’s the best and economical because it
accommodates probably the most autos per linear meter and use the lifeless -end aisles,
thereby minimizing wasted area .
