Tower Parking Systems Types & Advantages
Parking space has become the most vital issues faced by the civilians, as well as real estate developers. There has been a recent surge in the number of vehicles on the road that has affected the available parking spaces in buildings, malls, hotels, multiplexes, etc. making it very limited, if at all available. Due to this, there are certain parking violations such as on-road parking, which causes major congestion. Traffic congestion, along with very limited parking spaces, has made it extremely difficult to travel anywhere within any city. A tower parking systems is one type of an automated parking system (APS) that is mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in areas that have very small and narrow plots. This system is also known as an elevator parking system as it uses a lift mechanism to reach the various “levels� it provides, ranging from 5 to almost 35. Developers have now moved towards installing these tower parking systems in their buildings as they help with feasibility, security, safety and provide more parking spaces in a more systematic manner. There are also added benefits such as effective space utilization, cost efficiency and eco-friendly sustainability of the country with lesser car emissions. These integrated systems are the future of car parking systems in India. A tower parking systems has become extremely convenient to implement as it requires the the most compact plot area, and maximizes the parking spaces within the same space. For example, it provides enough space to vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the floor space of just 3 vehicles. These same towers could be built next to each other, either in a connected or an independent structure to provide even more convenience to the user, as well as the builder. It is one of the most efficient types of automated parking systems as it reduces the space required, and saves space for amenities such as green spaces in parking lots.
