MULTI-LEVEL CAR PARKING: A GROWING NEED IN INDIA

MULTI-LEVEL CAR PARKING: A GROWING NEED IN INDIA

Enough has been said about the congestion in India's urban areas. We have all seen and experiencedthe exponential growth in numbers of vehicles; we have all been caught in endless traffic jams; wehave all wasted precious minutes searching for parking space. The scarcity of available space is areal and growing crisis.

Multi-level parking is the only way to go. If cities and towns wish to tackle the challenges of parking space,it's obvious they need to think 'vertical' instead of 'horizontal'.

It is heartening to see more and more multi-level car parking systems being erected in India. Across metros and even Tier I and Tier II towns, as residential and infrastructure development grows to keep pace with increasing population, stack parking systems, puzzle parking systems, automatic car parking systems, tower parking systems and other multi-level car parking solutions are being rapidly adopted.

BASIC TYPES OF MULTI-LEVEL CAR PARKING 1. Manual Parking: This is the conventional parking wherein the car driver parks in the available free parking space.

2. Automatic Parking: This is a technology-driven parking where signalling devices, pallets, and lifts are used to ease the parking. This type of system informs the driver where vacant spots are available and also links the drivers with their cars.
