This case study presents a standard design for motorcycle parking areas inside
the Bulacan State University (BULSU) Bustos Campus. The study was conducted in
response to the increasing number of students who park motorcycles inside the
The study highlights the importance of having standard design for both the
motorcycle and students who park inside the campus, and safety concerns in parking
area design, as well as the need for ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure
continued effectiveness. Based on the current state and situation of the COED
motorcycle parking facility, the researchers got 49-50 estimated maximum parking
slots in total. Nevertheless, with the application of standard dimensions and design,
the researchers obtained 54 slots in total. Therefore, with standard dimension and
design, it will maximize the parking slots in COED motorcycle parking area. With an
overall computed mean (4.23), it corresponds and depicts that most respondents were
strongly agreeing to the proposed layout of the motorcycle parking facility with
standard design and dimension to maximize the parking slot and have better passage

arrangement. The findings have practical implications for other external campuses
and other institutions facing similar issues, as well as academic contributions to the
Introduction
According to Claire Styles of Parking Network B.V., not only does a person
spend an average of 17 hours a year looking for a parking space, but it is also
estimated that parking search traffic accounts for one-third of inner-city traffic,
challenges in managing campus facilities, and one critical aspect that significantly
impacts the daily lives of students, faculty, and staff is the availability and efficiency

INSIDE BULSU (BUSTOS CAMPUS): A CASE STUDY
Motorcycle parking area has a proper maneuverability and ensures the
motorcycle parking area according to IHE Guidelines for Motorcycling (2014, May
30). The College of Education (COED) motorcycle parking facility (near the entrance
gate) has maximum of 49 estimated parking slots; 26 in the back and 23 in the front,
and does not have a proper measurement line or dimension of every single motorcycle
slot. The researchers are concerned with the increasing number of students who park
inside the Bulacan State University – Bustos Campus and noticed that some of COED
students who entered the parking area, just park their vehicles inside without a
passage blocking. Without design and dimensional standards, this situation could lead
to inadequate parking space and time-consuming entry and exit due to the
Project Design
The parking slot for every motorcycle will have dimensions 1.75 m long and
0.70 m wide, with free space 0.05 m at the front, 0.20 m in the rear and 0.025 m on
right and left side. The dimensions of motorcycle parking slot are 2.0 m long and 0.75
m wide, but it is also contained parking line that has width 0.10 m. So, the total
dimension of motorcycle parking slot is approximately 2.10 m long and 0.85 m wide
(Krisnada, 2018).
COED department motorcycle parking facility is 24.2 m long and 5.8 m wide. The
researchers followed and used the standard design and dimension of 2.1 m long and
parking facility, the researchers divided the length of whole parking area to the width
the upper side in figure 3). On the lower side in figure 3, considering the 2.0 m gate,
the maximum motorcycle parking slot is attained by dividing the difference of the
length of whole parking area and length of the gate to the width of a single motorcycle
proper lines and dimensions, the students can park and pass conveniently due to the
favorable parking space and can reduce (if not eliminate) the waste imposed in the
motorcycle parking facility, such as unnecessary motion, wasted time, and extra
the parking search behavior of motorists based on the definition of the searching process
for parking spaces. This study also considered the impacts of Parking Guidance and
Information (PGI) systems and the uncertain attributes of car parks: Queue sizes and
departure rates. And according to Arnott and Rowse, 1999 developed a simple model of
parking congestion concentrating on drivers who search for a vacant parking spot in
metropolitan areas.
Angle parking has been used many years ago to park vehicles. In general, the
angle used is 60° to make it easier to enter and exit parking slot. Motorcycles that park in
Penjaringan Sari use a 90° for more optimal utilization of parking space. However, this
arrangement will make it more difficult for the driver to park and de-park from the
parking lot (Krisnanda, 2018). Pay attention to the angle of the parking slot to make it
easier for the rider to access the motorcycle. Some dimensions that must be considered,
such as: the width and the length of the slot of parking vehicles must adapt the vehicle
types. The motorcycle dimension parking slot that refers to the Directorate General of
should be double way. Providing sign/marker can give convenience to park and de-park
every time. In general, parking slots are lined with the colors white and yellow to give
sign as a warning. Marker line must have 4-inch wide. For motorcycles in group could
give a special color on the parking slot, for example blue for special needs or physical
disability. The security of the parking area. Security is an important factor for the parking
Parking System
According to Giuffrè et al. (2012), Mackowski et al. (2015), and Litman (2016),
the parking system is built on multiple regulations and programmes that result in more
efficient parking resource use. Due to the existing new technology, new parking
management systems have introduced additional options for improving the administration
of change-mode park at facilities such as airports, railway stations, bus and rail transit
stops. Furthermore, as mentioned by (Vienna et al., 2004; Bessghaier et al., 2012; Barone
et al., 2013; Zargayouna et al., 2016), these technologies aim at decreasing parking
duration by improving the parking task, which would benefit equally the driver and the
lot operator.
Parallel Parking
The automatic parallel parking problem has previously attracted a great deal of
attention among researchers. Current approaches to solving this problem can be classified
into two main categories: the path planning approach, where a feasible geometry path is
planned in advance, taking into account the environmental model as well as the vehicle's
reference path; the skill-based approach, where fuzzy logic or neural networks are used to
acquire and transfer an experienced human driver's parking skill to an automatic parking
controller. There is no reference path to follow, and the control command is generated by
considering the orientation and position of the vehicle relative to the parking space (Zhao
et al., 2005)

1. Angle Parking Arrangement: Parking slots with angled features tilt at two angles:
45 degrees and 60 degrees. To access the slightly tilted parking place, one must turn
45˚ and straight parking spaces since, in contrast to the 45˚ model, it is not as large
and is just as easy to enter as the straight parking spot. Parking spaces that are
angled facilitate easier access and egress for cars by eliminating the need for abrupt
turns. Because cars keep inside the lines of their parking spaces, this also lowers the
likelihood of an accident.
2. Adherence to Regulations and Standards: Ensure that the proposed design aligns
with local regulations, safety standards, and accessibility guidelines for parking
areas.
3. Prototyping and Testing: If feasible, make the surface of the parking area flat and
usability, and safety before implementation. This step helps in refining the design
4. Future Expansion: Design the parking area with the flexibility to accommodate
