As India's towns and cities get more crowded and congested; as the number of vehicles grows exponentially while available parking space struggles to keep pace – we are faced with an urban crisis. Road spaces get obstructed, flow of traffic gets hampered, probability of accidents increases. Simultaneously, drivers end up wasting time, energy and fuel; pollution levels rise. Multilevel car parking provides a feasible and effective solution.

2. CURRENT SCENARIO
As India's towns and cities get more crowded and congested; as
the number of vehicles grows exponentially while available
parking space struggles to keep pace – we are faced with an
urban crisis. Road spaces get obstructed, flow of traffic gets
hampered, probability of accidents increases. Simultaneously,
drivers end up wasting time, energy and fuel; pollution levels rise.
Multilevel car parking provides a feasible and effective solution.

3. WHAT IS MULTILEVEL PARKING?
Simply put, a multilevel car parking system is a manual or automated facility that utilises vertical
rather than horizontal space for parking vehicles.
It houses multiple vehicles on every level thereby enabling optimal utilisation of precious space.
Multilevel car parking offers more advantages
• Low maintenance, operational and construction costs
• If automated, it offers more safety for both the vehicle and the driver than conventional
parking lots.
• Multilevel parking systems also free up valuable urban space for landscaping, amenities or
other lucrative use.
While we may think the shortage of parking space is a comparatively modern issue, it's
interesting to note that the first recorded multilevel car parking system was built way back
in 1918 in Chicago, USA.

4. WOHR’S RANGE OF AUTOMATED
MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
Barring a few exceptions such as the turntable and platform parking systems, all of Wohr’s
products are multilevel parking systems. Broadly, they can be divided into 3 categories:
1. STACK PARKING
• A system that “stacks” more than a single vehicle in a singular parking space.
• The developer can provide parking spaces for multiple vehicles, while increasing space
efficiency of the area.
• Doubles or multiplies the parking space available, and also uses the basement area if required.
• Stack parking systems are segregated into 2 types - Dependent and Independent.
• In Dependent parking systems, the lower platform has to be evacuated first, in order to let the
upper platform come down.
• Independent parking systems do not depend on either platform in order to access the vehicles.

2. TOWER PARKING
• A type of an automated parking system (APS) that is mechanically designed
to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in very small and narrow plots.
• Also known as an elevator parking system as it uses a lift mechanism to reach
the various “levels” it provides, ranging from 5 to almost 35.
• A tower parking system uses the most compact plot area, and maximizes the
parking spaces within the same.
• For example, it can vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the space of just 3 cars.
• Developers are installing these tower parking systems in their buildings as
they help with feasibility, security, safety and provide more parking spaces
in a more systematic manner.

3. PUZZLE PARKING
• A puzzle parking system provides multiple parking spaces in the form of levels – Upper
& Lower.
• These levels, or parking spots, move horizontally or vertically, just like a “Puzzle”, to
automatically park a vehicle in a vacant spot.
• Independent in nature, which means that any car can be parked or retrieved without
vacating another parking spot.
• Hydraulic systems to move the “pallets” vertically and horizontally, depending on the
availability of a vacant spot.
• A fully automatic system where the driver just has to park the vehicle in the lower platform
and vacate the car. The system then moves the pallet on which the car is placed to a vacant
spot wherever it is possible. In order to do this, there is always one vacant spot, which
enables all the other platforms to move freely and retrieve the car that is needed.
• Easy to maintain and lower operating costs as compared to a conventional parking facility.

7. ADVANTAGES OF WOHR’S MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
• Optimal utilisation of space
• Higher cost efficiency: lower maintenance and operational cost
• Lower construction cost; easier and faster to build (owing to
the prefabrication)
• Safety & security (as there are no ramps or walkways, people do not walk
around the car, thus saving the vehicle from harm, theft or vandalism)
• Environment-friendly (the underground implementation renders the
outdoor space free for landscaping)
• Saves time and fuel as drivers do not have to drive around trying to
locate parking space
• Comfortable for the drivers
• Cost saving for builders by saving height or depth
• Requires minimal lighting, cleaning, maintenance, staff, etc.
to keep running

8. CONCLUSION
Since the number of cars on the roads began to increase, Wohr has been
designing and installing these multilevel parking systems. And because
they specialize in just parking systems, Wohr today is the company with
the most extensive product range worldwide.
Wohr is one of the leading car parking systems manufacturers in India.
With more than 700,000 parking spaces installed worldwide, 100,000 of
these in India alone - the reliability, safety and benefits of Wohr
multilevel parking systems speaks for itself.
