Recent years have seen a shift in the parking industry towards developing
environment-friendly products. There is pressure from society and shareholders
to be seen as a green company. People the world over become increasingly
environment-conscious. All manufacturers are looking for solutions that can
reduce their carbon footprint. Sustainable parking systems, alternative power
sources and use of recyclable materials in products are in demand. Use of solar
panels to power the parking systems, better vehicle guidance systems that help
reduce the carbon emissions, electric car charging stations are some of the
innovations that have ushered in the green age in the parking sector. In this
scenario, automated systems have the advantage over conventional parking.
With substantial reduction in emissions, energy consumption and construction
footprint, automated parking systems are the future of parking.
Globalization and urbanization are likely to continue globally in the future. Trade
between nations will ensure growth and open up new avenues for companies in
the parking industry to expand. Due to urbanization, population shift to urban
and sub-urban setting will continue to increase automobile ownership and thus
drive the markets growth.
equipment and multiple payment options in safe, clean and friendly parking
systems. New age parking systems are expected to sport an intuitive interface
that makes the customer interaction easy and hassle-free.
The classical approach that viewed parking as a source for income and easing
congestion has changed to the modern approach, which is to include parking
management in planning and design of zones.

as the advantages

rapidly and there is scope for all existing and new companies to expand and
compete.
In fact, one of the first mechanical systems built by Krupp in Munich, Germany
for the Deutsche Bank is still in operation since 1956 - after more than half a
century!
"When all factors are considered, the cost of operating an automated garage is
less than half (-55%) that of a conventional garage.
Challenges
Capital Costs
The capital requirements for sustained growth in this industry are high. As
against a conventional parking lot which requires up to $15000 per space, an
automated parking system will require between $ 20000-25000, going up to
$50000 for underground parking spaces. While such parking systems developed
for private customers may be feasible, automated parking systems for public use
will have to be substantially lower to be economically viable in the long run.
Also, if a new product has to force its way into the market, it has to be developed
from scratch to avoid patent infringement and this adds to the companys
financial burden.
While most governments today are willing to explore new possibilities to solve
parking problems, there are authorities who are sceptical of the automated
system. Reports of failures in certain installations and damage to cars have
raised questions over the safety of automobiles in such systems.
