As Per Website Details

 

Subject is a 'Special Purpose Vehicle' formed with an objective to introduce in India revolutionary parking technologies, systems and designs for alleviation of problems associated with vehicular parking.

 

Simpark Infrastructure : An Organisation with a Difference

 

In house development and research team develop existing systems (hardware and software) customizing and improvising them to suit local conditions and requirements.

 

The adoption of and investment in any system/ design is based on its fulfillment of the company objective to reduce occupancy of road carriageway or ground area for parking, putting atleast twice the number of cars if not more in the same area covered by one, making expansion and dismantling easier, lower the overall capital and recurring costs, relocating parking to off-site locations and improving the urban landscaping of the congested cities and towns.

 

Mission Statement

 

The company's strategic goal includes the promotion of a healthier and safer urban India, The betterment and enhancement of the Urban Environment and meeting. The Citizens' Present Day needs without compromising those of the children and grandchildren. They are working hard as a citizen to help improve the availability of Public Parking, but each of them must play the part to reduce the traffic congestion and related pollution.

 

Technologies

 

The company has tied up with a number of technology providers from across the world to bring to India state of the art parking facilities. Most of these systems are in operation for a long time in other parts of the world. These tie-ups are technical in nature with full rights for development. Presently the systems under offering are for public and mass parking where the utilization and turnover of vehicles is very high on a 24-Hours basis. Systems required for such types of parking need to be very robust and thus they have been put to very tough working conditions. The two system technologies including their parking procedures are detailed below.

 

The company has also started to develop their own systems however presently more along the lines of individual uses in residences and private office buildings. Details of such systems will be updated on this web site soon.

 

Traffic Management

 

An evaluation of the technical and operational parameters suggests that the company basket of technologies will help ease congestion and reduce pollution levels to the public at large due to better utilization of available space. In fact, it would provide the best alternative when compared to other systems in taking care of traffic management in busy metro business districts. This has been proven in other countries and as such offers a technically feasible solution to the present day problems. The flexibility of this system augurs well for its expanded use in the future and the introduction of this system could be the harbinger of smooth flow of the ever-increasing traffic.

 

The Security Factor

 

People do not enter the parking area, but leave the car in the lift lobby, which is mechanically locked before entry and after the driver exits the lobby. The results are:

 

v      No danger of theft or possessions from inside of the car.

 

v      No danger of violence or robbery to the driver.

 

v      No danger of the car being hit by a driver or other party, like banging into columns, walls or other cars.

 

v      No danger of air pollution.

 

v      No danger of damage to people in the event of a fire, act of nature, etc.

 

Project 1- Technology Type Parkomat

 

Project 1: Technology Type Simpark (Completed in November, 2001) Calcutta, India

 

They make Calcuttans proud by introducing the "World's First Fully Automatic Mechanized Public Multi-Level Car Parking System on a Curve", at the intersection of Park Street-Rawdon Street crossing, in a Joint Venture with the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. The ground plus two-storied computer based system, accommodates upto three times more than conventional parking. The system at Rawdon Street has been constructed to provide car-parking facility for around 210 cars on a ground area of 1260 Sq. Mtrs. Each row can individually hold on average 73 numbers of cars. The system is operated from both the ends of the structure. Each lift lobby having its own individually control panel and ticketing system. However, one can park and retrieve his/ her car from either end and vice versa.

 

A steel pallet is designated for every car slot in the system. Whenever a car needs to be parked, the ticketing button is pressed and the entrance gate opens only after a pallet has been delivered. The driver parks his car on the pallet, engages a gear, locks his car (optional as nobody can go inside the system and the car is safe as in a vault), and walks out of the system. The tickets to the system is a simple the magnetic strip cards, which the ticket attendant swipes. From herein onwards, the computer takes over. One must remember not to lose the magnetic card as it contains information on the parked vehicle.

 

Technologies: Simpark

 

The beauty of this Parking system is inherent in its intrinsic simplicity.

 

It is a modular Lego like system and therefore can be adapted to fit any size or shape of plot. Each grid has an independent lift and each floor or array of cars has its independent carrier. For every car to be parked in the system, there is a steel pallet designated when a car is to be parked, on a button being punched the entrance gate opens. The driver parks his car on the pallet, engages a gear, locks his car (optional), and walks out of the system. From herein onwards, the computer takes over.

 

Uniquely designed lift, enables carriers to pass through lift shaft, when lift is not in the specific floor. More than one lift can be placed in each row at either end, or in the middle as required.

 

The Parking Procedure

 

The PLC system computer decides, which floor, which and slot the pallet with the car is to be placed is to be parked on. Accordingly, the pallet with the car placed on it is taken up with the help of the vertical elevator system to the desired floor.

 

The next step is that on reaching the particular floor the carrier system picking up picks up the pallet along with the car, and moving it horizontally along the structure over the other vehicles to the place assigned by the computerit slowly lowers it into the slot assigned by the system. It should be made quite clear here, that the height of each floor, is a little more than twodouble the cars height, so that the carrier transports the car above the already parked cars.

 

Retrieval of parked cars is precisely the same operation, but in the reverse order. When the driver comes to collect his car, he gives the ticket/magnetic card, which was given to him on parking. The card is swiped and; automatically the bill for parking is generated for payment. Simultaneously the computer has issued the order for retrieval. Carrier picks up the relevant pallet, transports it over other cars and places it on the elevator. The elevator brings down the pallet. On retrieval retrieval, through a turntable, the pallet takes a turn and keeps the car is in a drive-out position. The Main gates opens automatically, driver walks in and drives out in his carfor the driver to drive out his car. The Gate close automatically and the system is on standby for the next requests.

 

The entire system can operate, with just one ticket attendant in each lobby. In case of the remote eventuality of any problem, the same shall be reflected immediately in the master computer in the control room and the fault rectified within minutes.
