Automate Your Parking with Wohr

 

 

 

As urban areas are faced with an acute shortage of parking spaces and soaring land costs, multilevel car parking systems can be considered a pertinent solution. It is quite difficult to find an unoccupied parking space in large car parks, and the parking and retrieval of vehicles take up a lot of time. Also, the management of parking lots poses a significant challenge in crowded towns and cities. Well-trained manpower that can secure and manage the systems is hard to find and expensive too.

The advent of automatic car parking systems brings about a major solution to these problems.

Car parking systems can be automated by the application of cutting-edge technology. With a number of features, they:

·         Allow users to locate an empty parking space quickly

·         Keep track of the activity in the parking lot

·         Permit only registered users to enter the parking system

·         Display the number of available parking spots

·         Have an orderly entry and exit point

·         Record, analyse and store data on parking activities

·         Safeguard and secure the car from theft and vandalism

Multiply with Multilevel Parking Systems

 

India is faced with a major urban crisis with the number of vehicles growing exponentially and the availability of parking spaces reducing. This situation leads to road space being impeded, flow of traffic getting hindered and the chances of accidents increasing. It also results in the drivers’ time, energy and fuel being wasted, with the accompanying rise in pollution levels. 

Multilevel Car Parking provides a practical and potent solution! 

What is Multilevel Parking? 

To put it plainly, multilevel car parking systems are manual or automated facilities that make use of vertical space over horizontal space for the parking of vehicles. They can house multiple vehicles on every level, allowing for the optimal utilization of scant parking space. 

Multilevel car parking systems come with many advantages. They offer low maintenance and low operating and construction costs. Automated types of car parking systems offer increased safety for both the car occupants and the car itself when compared to traditional parking lots. These multilevel parking systems also release precious urban space for other purposes like landscaping, amenities et al.

While it may seem that the scarcity of parking spaces is a modern development, the first multilevel car parking system was designed and installed all the way back in 1918 in Chicago, USA. 

Wohr’s Multilevel Parking Systems 

Wohr brings with it a wide range of multilevel car parking systems which can be split into 3 categories: 

1.    Stack Parking: A stack parking system is a kind of automated parking system that can ‘stack’ more than one vehicle in a single parking space. The cars are positioned on levels above and below each other - giving the developer an opportunity to provide parking spaces for multiple cars while making efficient use of limited space. Stack parking systems can double or even multiply the available parking space and can also utilize the basement or pit area if necessary. It is presently one of the most popular parking available on the market.

Stack parking systems can be further split into 2 types - Dependent and Independent.

Dependent systems are those in which the lower platform has to be emptied before the upper platform can be lowered.

Independent systems are those that aren’t dependent on either platform for the parking and retrieval of vehicles.

2.    Tower Parking: Tower parking systems are one of the types of automated parking systems that are configured to allocate parking spaces vertically, particularly in small and narrow plots. This system is also called an elevator parking system as it makes use of a lift to transport cars to its numerous levels.

A tower parking system makes the most of compact plot areas and multiplies the parking space within them. An example of this is that it can provide space to park 60-70 vehicles in the space of just 3. Major real estate project developers have been transitioning to the installation of these systems in their projects as they offer feasibility, security, and safety and multiply the available parking spaces in a highly systematic manner.

3.    Puzzle Parking: A puzzle parking system can provide multiple parking spaces on different levels - upper and lower. These parking spots can move both horizontally and vertically, in the form of a ‘Puzzle’ in order to automatically park a vehicle in a vacant spot. These are independent parking systems that allow for any car to be parked or retrieved without having to vacate another parking spot.

These systems employ hydraulic power to move the ‘pallets’ vertically and horizontally as per the available vacant spots. This fully automatic parking system allows drivers to park their vehicles on the lower platform and vacate the car. The system then transports the pallet on which the car is parked to a vacant space where possible. This system always consists of one vacant parking space that enables the other parking spaces to move freely and retrieve the car that is required. This is an easy-to-maintain system with lower operating costs when compared to conventional parking.
