9. The parking squeeze Number of private vehicles on the rise but not enough car parks Building more car parks won’t solve the problem either considering Singapore’s landmass More New Cars + Same Number of Parking Lots = Parking Problems
10. What survey results tell…. Conclusion: Majority of respondents face parking problems
12. Short term solutions? We propose one short term solution-premium parking charges for lower levels at multi-storey car parks
13. Revamping multi-storey car parks Charge according to the level of the multi storey car parks Lower levels-premium charge Higher levels-normal charge
15. Is the solution practical? Most of the survey respondents use multi-storey car parks Majority find parking at the upper levels inconvenient Hence premium parking charges for lower levels can be a viable short term solution
18. 10 Storey? 10.7% residents owns a private cars in Singapore (singstats.sg,2008) As of April 2009, there are only 557000 Car parking lots(HDB annual report) On average, can accommodate 11.4% , which is slightly above 10.7%
19. However, since growth rate of car is at 2.4%(CNA report on LTA,2009) Expected to overflow in a few years time
20. 10 storeys= more then 2.5 times current capacity Able to hold 835500 more cars if all carparks are build this way More efficient use of land space in Singapore
21. Premium parking system? According to survey, 81% felt that parking at upper decks are not desirable Main reason was inconvenience (51%) However, we cannot afford to have single storey carpark due to limited land space Hence, need a method to make drivers to park in the upper deck
22. Premium parking system Remember?User will pay the rates according to which level they parked! Decreasing Prices
23. Direct access rams/carpark sensors? Modification to carpark to allow vehicles to access higher levels/ basement levels directly 24% of surveyed felt that a lot of fuel is wasted turning rounds in carparks Carpark sensors will show available lots at each storey
24. Covered ceiling with Solar panels? Users experience cases of littering, bird dropping incidents when parking at top decks => Covered Ceiling Solar Panels = generate electricity for the carpark
26. Cost Remodeling of carpark involves remodeling of whole carpark. cost incurred would be relatively higher then existing carpark. However, able to gain back via more cars parking and premium rates On the long run, low maintenance and high returns equates to profits.
27. Effects on current system Current system involve season holders and parking coupons Season holders will still enjoy discounted rate, subjected to premium parking rates. Parking coupon users have to install IU to use the carpark. Reasonable as most cars have IU due to auto pass parking systems(in place)
28. Land safety Carpark involves going into basement 4 Difficult/dangerous to dig if existing carpark is very near HDB housing Hence, relocation might be needed However, most multi-storey carpark in place are build with basement considerations Relocation is minimal
However, HDB only provides 713,628 public parking lots!
According to Singstats.sg, there are 107 cars per 1000HDB annual report states that they are 557000 car park lotstaking Singapore population to be 5 mil.
User will pay the rates according to which level they parkedThe nearer to the main lobby, the higher the charge.Incentive to park on higher decks/ basement as it is cheaper
Hence reducing environmental and financial costs to maintain the car park
