Abstract

This article examines the issue of searching for parking and stopping along central urban streets, particularly those with a high concentration of socio-economic facilities. It is observed that parked vehicles along the roadside reduce road capacity, increase congestion, and disrupt the flow of traffic for other vehicles. A method has been developed to calculate the share of vehicles searching for parking in overall traffic congestion.

The impact of parked vehicles on overall traffic flow has been analyzed, and regulatory recommendations have been proposed. The study specifically focuses on the areas around Chorsu Bazaar, including Beruniy, A. Navoi, and Sakichmon streets, using observational and mathematical modeling techniques. The influence of parked and parking-seeking vehicles on traffic flow has been assessed, and their contribution to congestion has been quantified. The results indicate that, on average, vehicles searching for parking account for approximately 32% of traffic congestion in the studied areas. Due to the high demand for parking near socio-economic facilities, the average time spent searching for a parking spot was found to be between 6 and 10 minutes.
