THE DEVELOPER’S SOLUTION TO INCREASE PARKING CAPACITY: AUTOMATED PARKING

THE CHALLENGES • Are you a developer struggling with parking capacity in your new project?

• Torn between using space for parking or for green spaces?

• Troubled by budget constraints, growing car numbers and limited building space?

• Automated parking systems offer an effective solution to overcome these challenges.

• In Europe and Asia, automated car parking systems have been tested and proven over the last two decades, and they are growing in usage in America too.

• It’s time for this solution to become mainstream in Indian cities now.

WHY CHOOSE AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEMS? THE BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEMS INCLUDE: IMPROVED SPACE UTILISATION Typically, parking garages are designed to allow cars enough room to safely move and park, and for people to walk to and from their vehicles. In an automated car parking system, vehicles can be parked door-to-door and bumper-to-bumper. Automated parking systems use narrower spaces because pedestrians do not have to be accommodated and there is no need for ramps, stairwells and elevators. So you require 30-50% less land to house the same number of cars. This substantially reduces land acquisition costs or frees up precious space for other usage.

REDUCED DEVELOPMENT COSTS Since automated parking facilities require less building space, developers can save on construction costs through reduced excavation volume, fewer building materials, shorter construction time and lower land costs. These add up to huge savings that go directly back to a project’s budget.

MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEMS

LOWER OPERATING COSTS If being used by known parkers, there is a minimal staff requirement. Since users do not enter the system, lighting and ventilation costs are also reduced, leading to greater savings and sustainability.

SAFETY & SECURITY For the end user, the additional safety that comes with automated parking is an important plus point. In an automatic parking system, the driver simply drops off the vehicle at a convenient drive-in entry cabin. When returning to pick up the car, the driver can wait in a safe, well-lit pick-up zone until the vehicle is delivered automatically. This system eliminates the concern and worry of being alone in a dark garage, searching for your car.

Moreover, the car too is much safer in an automated system. You don’t have to deal with pedestrians, bad drivers or careless parking attendants. There are less chances of vandalism or theft; dents and scrapes are practically eliminated.

MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEMS

MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There’s a reason why automated parking systems are called ‘green’. In an automated garage, cars are turned off before they enter the system. Cars do not idle for long periods of time while trying to park or exit, nor do they drive up and down ramps or in and out of spaces. All this contributes to a reduction in the amount of pollutants by 60 to 80%, and significant fuel savings as well.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Users of automatic parking systems always park and retrieve their cars in well-lit, comfortable transfer areas. It would be relatively inexpensive for developers to create a luxurious experience for users here.

Developers can implement slick touch screens and mobile apps for quick retrieval to make for a comfortable user experience that will enhance the value of their project.

WOHR: THE DEVELOPER’S PARTNER Even if local governments implement projects to improve public transport; even if they enforce car sharing programs, the proliferation of vehicles is a challenge that’s here to stay.
