Advantages of Automated Parking Systems A News18 report states that in January 2019, more than a million-and-half (1,607,315) new vehicles were bought and registered with various regional transport offices across the country. That comes to an average of more than 51,000 new vehicles bought across India, every single day of January.
This mind-boggling number shows that Indian roads will continue to get more congested with each passing month, as people buy new cars, scooters and bikes (also new commercial vehicles like taxis and trucks) without necessarily junking older vehicles. While this phenomenon is benefiting the automotive industry, it is causing problems for town planners, municipal corporations and building developers. With more cars on the road, they now need to provide ample parking on top of tight budget and space constraints, particularly in congested cities. Automated parking systems offer developers several benefits, including: Improved space utilization Compared to conventional parking facilities, Automated Parking Systems require an area approximately 60% smaller and a 50% smaller volume on average to park an equivalent number of cars. The space saved can be used for other options such as adding more parking spaces, utilising more area for nonparking purposes such as retail stores, amenities or green spaces, etc. Architects are finding difficulty in planning parking the building within the restricted margins and then only the Automated Parking Systems plays a very vital role in building designing. The area and volume required to park a vehicle is drastically reduced to approx 40%.
