Details on the shuttle-type parking facility
Developed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the new automated parking facility is a shuttle-type facility that is touted to help reduce traffic congestion in the Greater Kailash area of New Delhi. The ₹63.7 crore project is expected to accommodate 399 vehicles in one of the busiest local shopping centres in South Delhi.
- A shuttle system is an automated parking solution that uses driverless shuttles and lifts to transport vehicles to and from designated parking spaces.
- The driver enters the designated drop-off point, and then the system automatically moves the vehicle to a suitable slot in a multi-level structure by a shuttle moving horizontally on rails and a lift moving vertically.
- This system maximises space, offers high-density storage, and provides a contactless parking experience. All in all, it has everything that a city like Delhi needs for its parking woes
Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said that the parking facility in the Greater Kailash I M Block market gives people a safe and organised parking option. She further said shuttle service and puzzle parking systems would address long-standing parking issues in Delhi.
Several dignitaries attended the inauguration event, including Delhi cabinet minister Ashish Sood, MP Bansuri Swaraj, Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh, and MLA Shikha Rai.
