Automated Car Parking Systems the smarter way to park

Automated Car Parking Systems the smarter way to park The Smart City Mission by the Government of India is an urban renewal and retrofitting program aimed at making 100 cities across the country more citizens friendly and sustainable. The objective is to drive growth and improve quality of life, enabling local authorities and municipal corporations to provide better amenities by harnessing technology to create smart outcomes for citizens.

Car parking is a huge challenge in most Indian cities. Growing traffic and car volumes, increasing carbon emissions and insufficient infrastructure plague Indian cities. As per IBM Global Parking Index 2011, an average urban motorist spends 20 minutes more on the road due to parking problems. This is not only a waste of commuters’ time and fuel but also loss of productivity. Today in 2019, the problem has worsened considerably.

A smart parking solution cannot solve all these challenges on its own. But it will always definitely contribute to making the city or municipality more modern, more attractive and more environmentally friendly.

Smart parking uses an electronic parking guidance system, which uses parking sensors, dynamic realtime message signs and a mobile-friendly website and application to direct drivers to available parking at the nearby area. This results in fewer cars circling looking for space. The method can also be used to tell commuters if the parking area is full on weekends so that commuters can plan their trip accordingly.

Civic authorities in some Indian cities such as Surat, Delhi, Dehradun, Chennai and Bangalore have plans to set up intelligent parking system for their pay-and-park facilities across the city. Pilot projects are being implemented in other cities and towns.

Meanwhile, Wohr’s Automated Car Parking Systems are doing their bit to tackle the parking crisis across India. Manufactured at Wohr’s state-of-the-art facility outside Pune, the parking systems are designed and manufactured to the highest German standards of quality and safety.

Established in 1902 in Germany, Wohr has been in the business of designing smart parking systems since 1959 and has pioneered the art and science of installing attached parking slots to commercial or residential complexes utilizing minimal space availability.

Wohr’s multi-level parking system, Combiparker 556 can be arranged over-ground with 3 to 6 parking levels stacked on top of each other and 1 to 3 rows one behind the other. All parking places can be selected and used independently. Compared to the existing technology of over-ground puzzle parking, the column-free construction ensures that vertical supports are only required at every 2 or 3 parking places next to each other. This means an increased comfort for vehicle parking and retrieval operations and sufficient space, to be able to access parking places in the second or third row. Furthermore, the new Combiparker 556 always offers one additional parking place on the highest level.

Additional adaptation options offer different platform widths, varying lengths for larger vehicles, and different parking level clearances for the required vehicle heights. Moreover, platform loads up to 2000kg or up to 2600kg suitable for heavy vehicles, are also available.

Combiparker 556 is just one of the many offerings from Wohr Parking Systems. Automated parking systems, semi-automated parking, stack parking, puzzle parking, tower parking the list goes on.

Wohr also partners and consults to recommend, design and develop the customized parking systems for customers. Architects and builders can collaborate with Wohr to design and build-in the optimal solution for their project needs.

For optimum space utilization, flexibility and feasibility, automated parking systems prove to be the most advantageous choice. To know more about the possibilities for your site, contact Wohr Parking Systems.
