The Smart City Mission by the Government of India is an urban renewal and retrofitting program aimed at making 100 cities across the country more citizens friendly and sustainable. The objective is to drive growth and improve quality of life, enabling local authorities and municipal corporations to provide better amenities by harnessing technology to create smart outcomes for citizens.
Car parking is a huge challenge in most Indian cities. Growing traffic and car volumes, increasing carbon emissions and insufficient infrastructure plague Indian cities. As per IBM Global Parking Index 2011, an average urban motorist spends 20 minutes more on the road due to parking problems. This is not only a waste of commuters’ time and fuel but also loss of productivity. Today in 2019, the problem has worsened considerably.
A smart parking solution cannot solve all these challenges on its own. But it will always definitely contribute to making the city or municipality more modern, more attractive and more environmentally friendly.
Smart parking uses an electronic parking guidance system, which uses parking sensors, dynamic real-time message signs and a mobile-friendly website and application to direct drivers to available parking at the nearby area. This results in fewer cars circling looking for space. The method can also be used to tell commuters if the parking area is full on weekends so that commuters can plan their trip accordingly.
Civic authorities in some Indian cities such as Surat, Delhi, Dehradun, Chennai and Bangalore have plans to set up intelligent parking system for their pay-and-park facilities across the city. Pilot projects are being implemented in other cities and towns.
Meanwhile, Wohr’s Automated Car Parking Systems are doing their bit to tackle the parking crisis across India. Manufactured at Wohr’s state-of-the-art facility outside Pune, the parking systems are designed and manufactured to the highest German standards of quality and safety.
Established in 1902 in Germany, Wohr has been in the business of designing smart parking systems since 1959 and has pioneered the art and science of installing attached parking slots to commercial or residential complexes utilizing minimal space availability.
Wohr’s multi-level parking system, Combiparker 556 can be arranged over-ground with 3 to 6 parking levels stacked on top of each other and 1 to 3 rows one behind the other. All parking places can be selected and used independently. Compared to the existing technology of over-ground puzzle parking, the column-free construction ensures that vertical supports are only required at every 2 or 3 parking places next to each other. This means an increased comfort for vehicle parking and retrieval operations and sufficient space, to be able to access parking places in the second or third row. Furthermore, the new Combiparker 556 always offers one additional parking place on the highest level.
Additional adaptation options offer different platform widths, varying lengths for larger vehicles, and different parking level clearances for the required vehicle heights. Moreover, platform loads up to 2000kg or up to 2600kg suitable for heavy vehicles, are also available.
Combiparker 556 is just one of the many offerings from Wohr Parking Systems. Automated parking systems, semi-automated parking, stack parking,puzzle parking, tower parking the list goes on.
Wohr also partners and consults to recommend, design and develop the customized parking systems for customers. Architects and builders can collaborate with Wohr to design and build-in the optimal solution for their project needs.
For optimum space utilization, flexibility and feasibility, automated parking systems prove to be the most advantageous choice. To know more about the possibilities for your site, contact Wohr Parking Systems.
Across Indian cities, there’s been an explosion in the number of cars on the road. But what about a proportional increase in parking spaces?
Today, so often, we avoid going to certain areas because there’s no parking available. Or every now and then, we spend precious minutes driving around in circles looking for a parking spot. Or we simply wait with idling engine for someone to vacate a parking spot. It’s precious time and fuel we can hardly afford to waste.
Scarcity of land in our cities is an unavoidable reality and optimal usage is a dire need. Environmental sustainability is an issue too. Systematic, planned, automated parking systems (APS) can provide a solution.
What is APS and how does it help?
According to Wikipedia, “an Automated (car) Parking System (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars”. It works like an automated storage and retrieval systems common in factories and warehouses…except it’s designed for cars.
Compared to conventional multi-storey car parks, automated parking systems offer undeniable advantages. Automated parking systems require up to 70% less land area and up to 50% smaller building volume. It is estimated that these systems reduce CO2 emissions by up to 85% as they eliminate the need for cars to keep idling or driving around when they search for parking space.
Safety is another important advantage of using automated parking systems. That’s because the driver and passengers are removed from the car before it is parked. With fully automated or semi-automated APS, the car is driven up to an entry point, the driver and passengers alight, and the car is then moved automatically or semi-automatically (with some attendant action required) to its parking space. Moreover, there are no pedestrians, ramps or driving lanes, so APS is safer, more secure.
Feasibility of Automated Parking Systems
Today, car parking has a direct effect on the feasibility of a real estate project. Whether it is a residential complex, infrastructure project or commercial centre, buyers demand adequate parking space. Automated parking systems prove advantageous by virtue of their feasibility and flexibility. They can be built in areas where conventional parking won’t fit. Above ground, underground, freestanding, integrated into existing buildings or even in narrow, irregularly shaped areas, APS can be installed.
A multi-level parking system results in optimum space utilization as multiple cars can be parked in the same amount of space. It also comes with lower maintenance, operational, and construction costs. It leaves more open spaces for landscaping and greenery, and reduces illegal or haphazard parking.
Conclusion
Urban India needs smart parking and strict enforcement. Conventional parking is neither feasible nor practical. Smart Parking accommodates a larger number of cars in smaller space, and reduces instances of vehicular emissions as the time wasted in searching for a parking space is omitted. By utilizing vertical rather than horizontal space, automated parking systems enable optimal utilization of existing and new spaces. In fact, as demand for parking space increases and we strive to convert our old cities into ‘smart cities’, automated parking systems becomes imperative.

With the sudden rise in demand for commodities in an increasing consumer-oriented commercialized world aided by convenient financing options, cars have become the most lucrative and convenient consumer goods to purchase and own in today's world. With the sudden rise in financing solutions providing easy installment payments and the advent of many new players in an already cluttered automobile market, automobiles manufacturers and brands are fast reaching a stage where they can be included under the industry segment of FMCG or fast-moving consumer goods, earlier restricted to identifying consumer products such as beauty care and personal care products, instant edibles and lifestyle accessories. Today buying a car is no longer a matter of huge investment and is as much a lifestyle accessory as curtains are to home decor.
However, with the rising demand in cars, the available spaces or real estate for parking automobiles has become extremely scarce and scant and is in much higher demand because of this evident dearth. So much so in some countries, it is the source of a profitable trade by leasing out available spaces at prices higher than residential spaces. In India itself, young urban and planned cities are facing this evident lack of parking spaces which was not anticipated while building the city and its township projects. Cities such as Pune and Bombay & Bangalore hence find it difficult to provide car parking spaces and it is a major struggle, with car owners often having to rent garage miles away from where they live for safe parking. Wohr Automatic Car Parking Systems tackles this major obstacle effectively and makes maximum utilization of available space for manifold output. Established in 1902 in Germany, Wohr has been in the business of designing smart parking systems since 1959 and has pioneered the art and science of installing attached parking slots to commercial or residential complexes utilizing minimal space availability.
Wohr epitomizes the concept of parking with its automatic car parking systems which is a distant cry from the pains of parallel parking and manual parking formats which leaves behind residual car parking space by way of human error. Prevalent in foreign locations in Europe and America already Wohr introduces smart Auto Parking Systems which not only eliminate the requirement of a human being to steer and manoeuvre the car into an allotted space but also makes most out of minimum available space with its concept of stack parking which allows stacks of cars to be parked one on top of another by blending intelligent mechanisms like the hydraulic lift and the stack parking slot. That apart Wohr is the brain behind many innovative car parking designs including puzzle parking and underground car parking systems in commercial complexes and workplaces.
Gone are those days when owning a car made one a toast of their neighbourhood. With the present governing economic policies and the political structures owning and affording cars has become more convenient than ever before. And automobiles, even foreign ones are now dime a dozen on the streets, despite the age old supporting infrastructure which is still finding it difficult coping up with this sudden influx in automobiles in the private sector. At present day, in a middle class family of four, in any fast developing urban landscape, it is not surprising to see four family driven cars, despite their residential property not having grown proportionally, to accommodate all four cars within their premises.
Now this is not an isolated case. This is the norm in all fast developing countries which are attracting global investment and cosmopolitan settlement, be it Shanghai, Singapore or Mumbai, even Pune to that extent. In view of all the afore mentioned developments and circumstances, it is predicted, residential real estate will soon be overtaken by leaps and bounds by automobile parking real estate as a profitable industry segment. If you find it surprising to believe Singapore is already facing this scenario, where residential property is easier to rent without parking spaces, but practically unavailable with a parking space. Commercial parking spaces are exorbitantly priced almost to the extent of extortion, and people have to make use of them at the exorbitant prices that they come, for want of available parking slots.
