    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2022) Rida Rubab; FA18-BAR-034; Dr. Shariyeh Hosseini Nasab; LHR TP 8613
    This thesis focuses on addressing the lack of key programs at service areas across Pakistan, with the goal of improving motorists' travel experiences. This study provides novel design interventions to incorporate important facilities that are currently lacking through an examination of existing service areas and identification of programming inadequacies. The report identified important programs, such as driver's spaces, mobile police officers, fire stations, a variety of dining alternatives, retail establishments, recreational facilities, and prayer areas, as critical aspects required to improve the functionality and comfort of service areas. Design techniques emphasize user comfort, accessibility, and sustainability while taking into account the unique needs of travelers. The proposed interventions are inspired by worldwide best practices and precedents, ensuring that design solutions meet international standards while taking into account local context.
