A better parking system

I kept the title small, to allow me to write more in detail here. But yes, we are working on building a better parking system. Oh by the way it's a car-parking system and in that a mechanical car parking system.

Most of you have seen or at least heard of such a system. The basic idea is that cars are given to mechanical/robotic systems at the entry of such multi-level car parkings, and from there on, the mechanical system takes them inside and parks them in some place. When the car owner returns, the system fetches the car and puts it at the gate.

The main problems faced by today's car parks are time, power and space. Time is the time taken to get the car to the gate, once the owner requests for it.  Power is the electricity such massive systems consume. Space is the land space taken by the parking and the cost and risks for elevating it to large number of floors.

We hope to address all these problems in our solution, at the same time using not only fresh ideas, but cutting edge technology.

We are hoping to build the first prototype by the end of this month.

The concept of 4D-Rotation for ease

The concept we wish to discuss here is based on 4d architecture. It supports the  idea that generally static objects(i.e. only move in one dimension-time), like buildings should have the three physical degrees of moments also.

As a start the idea allows the parts of a building to be arranged among themselves to allow better use of common facilities like halls. This optimizes space, which is diminishing with the increasing population and other factors like global warming and even this.

I'll let Monish talk on this, while I move ahead to share where we plan to take this idea. The idea after some discussing with Mr. Ravi Bisht, has taken a new shape. The idea has found some new places of implementation. The concept of rotation of generally static objects can be applied to a system of moving shelves, to be used in showrooms, which need to display more than their current 'static space' would allow them. The idea can also be used for a parking system, which as compared to the current mechanical parking systems, is faster and requires lesser space.

To start with, we plan to build a proof-of-concept for the idea and the safest and smallest space to start with is the system of shelves.
