WOHR MULTI-LEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS FOR INDIA'S URBAN CONGESTION
India's urban centres are slowly but surely getting congested with the exponential rise of vehicles on the road. Especially in areas such as old market areas, tourist destinations, bus stands, railway stations and main business districts, life is becoming unhealthy and unsustainable, with traffic causing a great waste of time, energy and fuel. Traffic congestion is also causing pollution levels to rise in Indian cities. Shortage of sufficient parking space contributes to this sorry state of affairs. Multi-level car parking is a car parking solution that is sadly under-utilised in India's metropolitan, Tier I and Tier II centres. However, its advantages of automated multi-level car parking systems are gradually helping this concept to grow in usage and popularity. Advantages of multi-level car parking • • • • • • • •
optimal utilisation of space multiplies parking space manifold lower maintenance and operational cost lower construction cost (owing to the prefabrication) secure and environment-friendly nature (the underground implementation renders the outdoor space free for landscaping) comfortable for the drivers cost saving for builders by saving height or depth can easily offer charging points for modern electric cars
Multi-level solution for modern development Today almost every house in the city has at least one car. Collectively we face parking problem every day. Normally the car is parked for nearly 22 hours, either at home, office or on road. When planning any development, whether of residential project, commercial complex, hotel, mall, college, hospital, factory or multiplex, car parking has to be given the attention it deserves.
