Abstract: Most medium-size and large cities worldwide are suffering from parking congestion. With the number of motor vehicles rapidly increasing, urban parking has become an intolerable problem in major cities. The evaluation of parking facility service plays an important role in urban transportation planning and operation. Severe parking problems in congested urban areas have led to the use of non-traditional parking options such as elevated parking in residential buildings in some countries. The residents’ choice of apartment is influenced by parking availability. Parking demand is affected by different factors like household income, family size, built up area, parking space available, and visitor parking space, number of vehicles, vehicle type and location of the building. Parking facilities are provided as per the parking policy norms (IRC: SP: 12). Regression models have been developed to show relationship between vehicle ownership and family size and family income to predict vehicle ownership in future. This gives future scenario for parking demand in future. This study will be useful for further modification for the parking guidelines for residential locations.
