WOHR MULTI-LEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS FOR INDIA'S URBAN CONGESTION

 

Multi-level car parking systems

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-levelcar 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. Architects and developers work together to plan the parking space, as per their project needs and the compliances laid down by the local municipal authorities.

This throws up huge opportunities for parking system manufacturers, who must rise to the challenge with suitable multi-level car parking solutions.

About stacked parking systems

Stacked parking systems allow 2 or 3 cars to be parked one above the other in the space of a single car. Besides a platform, there is an operating control panel/pendant, and the system is either hydraulically or electro-mechanically operated. Stacked car parking is simple to operate, economical to run and maintain, and ideal for both indoor and outdoor installation, and well suited to valet parking. Furthermore, stacked car parking systems have a long service life - 15-20 years, which may extend to 30 years with good care and regular maintenance.
