SMART SOLUTION FOR PARKING CONGESTION
Background
As per the Smart Cities Council India, "Over the past decade, Mumbai 
has grown rapidly and has been witnessing a dearth of parking space, 
leading to road congestion due to the unorganized parking structure 
in the city. A bench of judges from the high court recently raised a 
concern with the Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on 
the city running out of pedestrian space in the next five years. That 
said, to tackle this, studies from the experts of infrastructure 
development wings in developed countries have suggested 
tower parking as the most-effective solution in de-congestion of 
densely populated cities.
Background
Tower parking systems are the most common 
answer to the parking problems bringing in a 
plethora of advantages like optimal utilization of 
space, lower maintenance and operational costs, 
centralized operation and management, 
computerized tracking of cars, lower construction 
costs for builders by saving height and depth and 
comfortable for drivers. The layout of system is more 
compact and ensures better usage of parking area 
and replaces other systems with complete automatic 
operations and quick retrieval of the cars parked. No 
manual intervention means lesser breakdowns and 
thereby, hassle-free parking.

Reduces both the floor area and/or volume of space required for any 
given number of vehicles.
How Tower Parking Systems Work
1.  The user selects his allocated parking place with an inductive chip at the 
operating terminal. 
2.  The entrance door to the car transfer area opens and an empty pallet is 
ready for entry. 
3.  When the car is correctly parked, the user leaves the transfer area and 
confirms the parking procedure. 
4.  The door is closed; a vertical lift automatically transfers the car to the 
allocated parking level and moves the pallet on rollers into its place.
