Smart Parking Systems: for Narrow Spaces

Abstract

With the beginning of the era of “Narrow Spaces,” everyone with wheels is facing the problem of parking, may it be for a short duration, while shopping in markets, or even when it comes to parking in residences, etc. The solution to this can be attained, designed and described to user if and only if it is economic, user friendly and safer. To attain the solution we first must observe and understand the current scenario of parking schemes, layouts and a-z of parking, then later to compare it with various standards. Understanding each and every problem and public, social, psychological issues is also very important when it comes to Indian Context. With the elimination of ramps, driving lanes, pedestrians and the reduction in ceiling heights, the SPS requires substantially less structural material than the multi-story parking garage. SPS can be constructed utilizing a steel framework (some use thin concrete slabs) rather than the monolithic concrete design of the multi-story parking garage. These factors contribute to an overall volume reduction and further space savings for the SPS.
