Indian cities have seen exponential growth in
aspects of infrastructure and transportation. The
latter has become an inseparable part of our
lives as it aids in economic, social and cultural
development. It has been observed that the total
number of vehicles in the year 2016 stood at 230
million! Ashok Leyland has planned a capital
expenditure of Rs 1,000 crore (US 155.20
million) to launch 20-25 new models across
various commercial vehicle categories in 2018-19.
Hyundai is planning to invest US 1 billion in
India by 2020. With such huge investments, the
only solution stays with us is smart systems to
tackle parking problems. A huge amount of
automobiles makes it impossible to find a parking
spot without wasting a lot of time and getting
enraged. This grave issue is one of the most
important growth hindering aspects India needs to
address. Plus, rising incomes will also play a
role in buying more vehicles, as roughly 60
million households could enter the consuming
class by 2025. A lot of facilities have been
harnessed to face this issue. Yet, most of them
are not adequate to fit all automobiles. Staff is
usually not fully equipped to find a parking spot
immediately. Going rounds in an outdoor parking
lot and an indoor parking facility is
time-consuming. Parking problems affect an urban
setup by fuel loss, wasted time, dispersed land
use and narrowed carriageway on roads. Indoor
parking spaces can prove to be chaotic as well.
Security in indoor and outdoor parking lots can
be a concern for many that has not been in
proper functionality so far. These stations can
be made automated with software. These systems
help security and number plate recognition. The
system provides automatic parking tickets,
displays the number of empty spots and guides
driver through directions towards the empty spot.
The National Transport Development Policy
Committee (NTDPC) report published by the Union
Ministry of Urban Development in 2011 says all
parking should be indoor. Which still has not
proved to solve the problem.

Intelligent solutions are the need of the hour
that will solve parking problems. Cities need to
upgrade and so does its parking facilities. One
of the smart solutions that can help ease the
parking problem is parking apps. They let you pay
for your parking swiftly. On street parking,
lots are always busy and thus driver may end up
losing time and fuel to find an empty spot.
Finding an empty spot in huge parking lots is a
tedious task. Smart products like empty spot
displaying boards can provide much ease. The
number of free parking spots is flashed on the
signboard at the gates. The number of empty
parking spots cannot be registered and fed to the
computer manually. There are sensors on each spot
to detect whether the spot is empty or not. This
dramatically makes automation a reality. The need
for staff to count and keep a check in parking
lots gets eliminated. Opposed to on-street
parking, many public facilities provide indoor
parking options. They are manned to maintain
orderly parking, checking tickets and working as
security. India has faced parking related issues
since long now, and it is estimated to sore even
further into the future. To solve the issues in
and around parking in India, MassTrans is taking
measures. We offer a wide range of smart products
that bring a total parking solution. Masspark

finding a parking spot and getting a ticket. We
help to park on the street with on-street parking
information sign it displays specific
information on huge parking lots and they display
numbers of free spots. Parking occupancy
detectors notify which parking spot is available.
Off street parking management system and off

parking by showing empty parking spaces, saving
time and giving automatic tickets.
