Background:
After opening up new economy policies in India in 1991 more or more investments started coming up in India which lead to change in the life style of middle class. More or more middle class were moved from middle class to upper middle class in the layer. The purchasing capacity has been increased for these so called upper middle and the passenger car sales between 1991 and 2015 has been increased by more than 100%. This is good for the country's economic growth on the other hand it had also created challenges in the areas of traffic congestion and parking congestion.
Problems:
The metropolitan cities Chennai, Delhi, Kolkatta, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad has a huge challenge in controlling and monitoring the traffic congestion and parking congestion due to the fact of narrow roads and in efficient traffic management system. This lead to an average of 1.5 to 2 hrs every day during peak hours (7:30 AM to 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM) one has to spend/waste time.
Most of the cities are not equipped with good parking system in place and they park the vehicles in the side of the road where they create a traffic congestion till it is parked. This has lead to lot of stress to both drivers as well the traffic police men.
Solutions:
To overcome the situations there should be an efficient parking system by involving sensors with good data analytic. The solution is that parking bay should be equipped with sensor which is integrated to the central system. When the vehicle is parked in/out in the bay the details are captured and stored in the system. This gives information to the central system on the availability. This information can be shared to a Mobile app or can be displayed in some of the hot spots where the drivers can find where the parking space is available.
