Vietnam ’s first automatic, high-level
car-parking system is expected to be in operation in the capital city
of Hanoi by May.
This was confirmed by Nguyen Quang Nam , general director of the Company for Technology Development (CFTD), which is in the process of transferring the necessary technology under an agreement with Japan ’s IUK.
Nam said that the rapid development of urban zones in Vietnam meant most parking lots were overloaded due to the boom in commuter vehicles.
The so-called “smart technology” to operate the system will enable vehicle owners to park their cars without help from parking staff. The system, which maximizes limited parking space, comes in two main models to suit trading centres, apartment blocks, hotels and hospitals.
Automatic parking is already popular in many countries. According to IUK general director Mitsuo Itoh, the company had supplied 8,000 parking systems to Japanese, American and Chinese markets.
Nam said that with the system, drivers only had to stop their cars at a fixed point, the system would find empty spaces and move the cars to that space.
When they wanted to leave, the system returned their cars while they waited.
According to Hanoi Transport Department statistics, Hanoi has 300,000 automobiles and 3.6 million motorbikes, but existing parking lots can only satisfy 10 percent of demand.
According to the Ministry of Transport’s Transport Development and Strategy Institute, land reserved for parking accounts for only 2.5-3 percent of developed land. Overseas, it is as high as 20-25 percent./.
