Nearly 24 million people live in the Delhi NCR region and as per reports breathing Delhi air is worse than inhaling two packs of cigarettes a day. Parking policy plays an important role in influencing vehicle usage and hence pollution created by the same. But these policy changes or reactions to the same are based upon mostly hearsay or little research data. https://getmyparking.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4aba0bcd8b5ce66056305a5c&id=2bbc6aeaf4&e=9711cf7067 Data Analysis Of Last 30 Days Our smart parking dashboard provides city-wide macro level data about where, when, how many vehicles are getting parked. It also shows the patterns, analytics, experiments and results of various transport policies like the recent price hike. Our report is based on the data collected from our dashboard to clearly bring forward the actual scenario. Going back to a few days, the festive period of Diwali led to an increase in vehicular movement across parking lots in Delhi. As shown below: https://getmyparking.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4aba0bcd8b5ce66056305a5c&id=8c2ccccc81&e=9711cf7067 The chart shows the vehicle check-in trends for the period of pre and post Diwali. Pre Diwali preparations led to an increase in the number of check-ins, with people venturing out to the streets and shopping. Post Diwali day, a 107% increase in the number of check-ins has been witnessed on account of auspicious occasions following Diwali. Towards the end of Diwali, the air quality over the national capital worsened. Delhi being enveloped by smog and pollution, the doctors advised people to stay indoors, schools staying shut. As an emergency action, EPCA (Environment Pollution Control and Prevention Authority), directed SDMC, NDMC, and EDMC to hike the parking lot charges to four times from November 9, following the order by the Lt. Governor. The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) administers several upscale markets, including Khan Market, Sarojini Nagar Market, Central Market and the North and East Delhi Municipal Corporations (NDMC and EDMC) runs 104 and over 40 parking lots respectively. An average shopper, who had to pay Rs80 for parking for 4 hours, now had to pay Rs 320. This action was taken in order to discourage people from using more private cars, one of the major factors for environmental pollution.The Initial mentions around the hike in parking rates led to a marginal decline in the occupancy of parking lots. With the order coming up on November 9, the chart shows a declining trend in check-ins for the subsequent week, with the drop of more than 30% as compared to the daily average of 63500 for the previous month. GMP Recommendation The smoke and dust situation only shows us what is eventually going to happen in future. Short-term view to counter immediate problem should be a welcome step however, it ends up becoming a burden on daily commuters. As a smart parking company, we have been working to better the parking situation in Delhi. We feel that instead of reactive measures like the hike in parking rates should be refrained and instead more effective methods, based on technology, should be used to deal with the problem.
