The increasing use of private cars in urban areas, driven by a rapidly growing economy and abandoned policies and allocations, is the main reason for the growth of parking lots. They are among the main concerns in transport and traffic management worldwide. Parking allocation also considers implementing rotary smart parking to enhance parking efficiency. Using rotary smart parking is expected to alleviate traffic congestion near the study area while optimizing parking bay capacity. The car park is in the Bab Al-Moatham area, a central station located north of Baghdad’s center, adjacent to the College of Engineering, Mustansiriyah University. The results revealed that maximum parking accumulation typically occurs between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., with a peak of 200 vehicles at 10:30 a.m., leading to a parking capacity utilization of 90.5%, a total parking load of 602.75 vehicle-hours, and an average duration of 3 hrs. High occupancy levels, negatively impacting traffic performance in the parking area, were observed from 10:00-10:15 a.m., reaching 73.58. In conclusion, using rotary smart parking will require fewer spaces, potentially reducing space requirements by approximately 20%.
