Silchar is a major city in Cachar district, Assam with a population of 2,72,709 and an area of 26.88 km2. Parking is an issue that creates high traffic congestion in city areas. The vehicle needs sufficient street space for parking for the smooth movement of traffic. With the expanding population and automobiles, parking has become a significant issue (Manville, Shoup, Bacon, 2005). The scarcity of parking space in the city has increased the demand for it, particularly in critical business areas. A thorough examination of parking demand and characteristics is carried out to control parking activities, which will be helpful to the site visitors, engineers, and town planners. Two roads have been chosen for this study, i.e., Central Road and Shyamaprasad Road, which have insufficient parking spaces. Surveys are being conducted at those two locations to determine the parking accumulation, occupancy profile, demand and supply of parking (Parmar, Das, Dave, 2019; Chen, Wang, Pan, 2015; Tong, Wong, Leung, 2004). Linear regression analysis is also used to build a parking demand model using the statistical package for the social science (SPSS) software. The R-square values for Central and Shyamaprasad Roads are found to be 0.97 and 0.98, respectively.
