The use of vehicles is increasing unprecedentedly, thereby increasing the need for parking spaces. The current scenario of parking facilities has resulted in illegal parking on the road, which ultimately reduces the effective use and efficiency of the road, which further leads to traffic congestion. Considering the relevant problem, detailed investigation is necessary, with requirement of a proper installation. This study selected the Naigaon Local railway station as the case-study area. During the field investigation, Naigaon local-railway station was observed to be one of the stations where the parking area is insufficient, especially for two-wheelers. In order to overcome the problems mentioned above, multi-level parking is required which would allow the vehicles to be parked floor by floor, therefore reducing space. By using the tiered parking plan, parking congestion can be reduced drastically as we can park more than 3000 bikes at the same time, which is much better than the current parking capacity (<500 bikes). And so, the existing parking system is complemented to ensure maximum use of space.
