2. Vehicle Parking System
Today, with increasing number of vehicles, we
usually find it difficult to park them.
Good time is invested to search a parking place
and by the time we find it, it’s too late, someone
has already occupied the space.
So, I thought of an idea that will help us to locate
a parking space and save our precious time.
3. MY IDEA
My idea runs on a simple method as follows:
Each space in the parking lot has a configured transmitter.
It is a simple pressure switch inserted beneath the parking
space and is connected to a transmitter.
It transmits signal within a short radius and is then
received by a vehicle (with GPS) which traces the signal
and finds the vacant space.
When a vehicle is already parked, it transmits a signal that
indicates on the GPs that the parking spot is occupied.
When the car leaves, the sensor is on and transmits
signals as “available”.
4. VPS Scenario
Car waiting for
parking
CAR WAITING
FOR PARKING
GPS system or
mobile
CAR PARKED &
SENSOR - OFF
5. Application
Theatres
Malls
Pay and park areas
4/5/6 star hotels
Private places-clubs, marriage, party hall
Airports, railway stations, transport junctions, stadiums
Others….where there is no assistance
This concept should be initially piloted and tested to check
its success rate before implementation.
6. Advantages
1. It saves time: Eg:1,00,000 vehicles/day x 1 min(search
time saved) x 2 people/vehicle (avg) = 2,00,000 min=
3,330 hrs x 50 cities = 1,66,500 hours every day
2. It saves effort
3. It saves cost: (salary) of many logistics or parking service
assistors.
4. It is one time investment
5. Security: it can avoid car thefts.
7. Disadvantages
1. Unemployment: loss of jobs of unskilled people
2. Power dependencies: electricity failures may
cause a problem.
3. Waterproofing: prone to water in floods(common in
cities like Mumbai).
4. Maintenance: small problems in technology may
cause a problem.
