Srinagar, July 31: Srinagar International Airport is set to introduce an advanced Automated Vehicle Parking System aimed at enhancing the parking experience for passengers and visitors while reducing human intervention. This initiative, part of a nationwide rollout, promises a more efficient and transparent parking process.
Javed Anjum, Director Srinagar International Airport, highlighted that the new system is designed to improve efficiency and convenience, providing a seamless parking experience for all users.
He said AAI is coming up with an advanced automated parking system, specially designed to enhance the parking experience of passengers and visitors, while minimising human interference.
“The main feature of the automated parking system is inherently designed with reasonable and logical tariffs calculated on the basis of dwell time which will make it fair and transparent. The system will have time stamping at four designated points within the airport and parking to enhance accountability and ensure accuracy,” he said.
As per the Director, the vehicle will be mapped at entry point and will be allowed a reasonable time of 14 minutes to enter the airport for drop off / pick up of passengers. if the vehicle doesn’t cross airport exit within free time of 14 minutes, it will be charged 1st slab of parking fee i.e, Rs 40/-. However there is no free time for commercial vehicles.
“Further, if the vehicle enters the parking area of the airport, the charges will be applicable based on the time spent in parking. the permissible free time from parking exit to airport exit will be 5 minutes,” he said.
The Director further said that to enhance convenience and to provide seamless experience, the parking system will be integrated with fastag technology allowing for quicker exits.
