Special detectors, boards to make parking easier at Palika

Friday , Feb 26, 2010

Parking at Palika Bazaar in Connaught Place will soon be a smoother process. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) plans to have a new parking management system in place at the existing underground parking lot that will guide drivers to the exact spots that are vacant.

At present, it takes a long time for those driving in to find the empty slots, making parking difficult.

The three-level Palika lot has the capacity to park 1,050 cars and 500 scooters. In the absence of a management system to guide cars, motorists are usually in for a hard time.

"The proposal was floated a while ago to get a management system that will allow more judicious use of the space," Mukesh Bhatt, an NDMC member, said.

Work is slotted to finish before October so that the parking can be used during the Commonwealth Games.

In the Electronic Parking Guidance and Management System, a special detector will be installed at every parking slot. The slots will be numbered and the detector will analyse whether a particular spot is vacant. Based on the information, the main computer will provide information on a board installed outside the parking lot. The board will also display how many slots on which level are vacant.

Once a vehicle is driven inside, there will be electronic boards to signal the location of the empty slots.

In September 2009, tenders were invited and three firms submitted their proposals, out of which two — CMS Traffic System Ltd and Auto Pass India — were shortlisted.

The total estimated budget of the project is around Rs 3 crore.

"Work will start once the details are finalised next month," Bhatt added.
