Context :
Reconstituted parking authority makes a comeback in
budget / HT – 05 Feb
Extract :
Ø The
MPA was reconstituted in January last year. BMC has appointed Tata Institute of Social Science ( TISS ) , as the agency from
where urban planners, traffic planners, urban
designers and Geographic Information System ( GIS ) designers are being roped
in, to help with MPA’s work
Ø …. it
has been given the time line of one year to complete tasks at hand, which include ward-wise
survey and GIS mapping of on-street and off-street parking
and formulation of the parking policy, fee structure , among other
things
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACTS :
Ø By
end 2017, no of registered vehicles in Mumbai ………………. 3.05
million
Ø As
of Jan 2019, no of vehicles in Mumbai ……………………………… 3.57 million
This
means, in about ONE YEAR, no of vehicles in
Mumbai went up by approx. 0.5 million ( 5 lakhs )
Ø As per the Economic Survey of Maharashtra
2018-19, the vehicle density is at 28,380 vehicles per lakh population and 115
vehicles per kilometre road length
===================================================
PROBLEMS :
Ø There
are few ( economically viable ) methods of creating NEW / ADDITIONAL parking places ( eg: parking
in basements of new buildings / multi-storied
“pay and park “ buildings )
Ø It
is not possible to stop citizen from buying new vehicles / even restricting no
of vehicles / family
===================================================
SOLUTIONS :
Ø Devise
methods to “ dis-incentivize “ purchase / owning
of PRIVATE vehicles
Ø Introduce
“ Incentives
“ for people to use PUBLIC transport ( local trains-metros – BEST buses )
Ø TISS
may consider collaborating with Dr.
Bernd Bienzeisler, head of
the Research and Innovation Center for Cognitive Service Systems at Fraunhofer
IAO. (bernd.bienzeisler@iao.fraunhofer.de )
( Ref : Using AI to measure the demand for
parking space )
