Parking is no more a back seat watcher
Subramanian Venkataraman
VMW Parking & Container Handling Systems (P) Ltd, India
Parking was not given any status earlier as it was not considered as a challenge as the number of cars was not more and there were
enough open spaces. But during last two decades, the growth of automobile population is astronomical. A typical statistics from
India would be a global indicator. Ratio of cars to population has jumped up from 40/1000 to 400/1000 in cities. Now the time has
come to give the parking its due weight when designing a car as all cars big or small need parking for 80% of the day. The important
aspects are access to handling equipments without interferance, stability during transition and safety during parking and extra fittings
like antena and rear view mirrors and their impact on parking. The paper deals with present parking solutions and their limitations in
the current scenario and what would be the best fit solution for tommorrow’s demands and the suggestions put forth before designers
for making parking a pleasant experience.
