In India, parking spaces are getting increasingly scarce.

ParkingAdda is an internet service that assists you in finding a parking spot.

We have tried and tested our proprietary technology through a pilot project in few areas within Mumbai, one can book a parking space as well as rent out your vacant parking space to ‘ParkingAdda’ easily via an online application.

“In a year every Mumbaikar spends around 11 days in a Traffic”.

In Mumbai, the Government Officials collects fines that are more than 1 lakh on a daily basis, do the math and you’ll get an idea on the number of vehicles parked in No Parking Zones. The major reasons or pain points of Vehicle driver and owners could be- lack of organized parking facilities or space, lack of parking guidance, etc. Even someone who has lived in Mumbai for a long time will find it difficult to obtain a suitable and secure parking space, as practically every Mumbaikar will attest with. Guess what, if you're new to a city like Mumbai, you’re most common and difficult struggle will be commuting owing to public transportation inconsistencies, massive traffic congestion, a lack of organized parking facilities, and expensive fines. Even worse, if your vehicle is towed, you'll have to figure out which tow site to contact, which will restart the vicious cycle from traffic to irregular public transport to fines and other procedures, etc.

“Justice Kulkarni has addressed the subject of why unlawful parking is becoming a growing concern in terms of traffic management. In the same article, it was said that our highways are currently swamped with automobiles which makes traffic management difficult, and to top that about 30 percent of the roads have been filled by double parking, i.e. parking on both sides of the road. These are serious public concerns that must be addressed, and there is a need to develop long-term solutions so that we do not have a chaotic society." remarked Justice Kulkarni.”

With ParkingAdda, one can save and plan their travel well by booking a parking spot online up to 36 hours in advance, instead of searching ‘Parking Near Me’ on the web - that doesn’t guarantee a spot, connecting with multiple friends and contacts to ask ‘Where can I find a safe/verified parking spot’ in a given location – which is time consuming. Surely, rather than doing what we do best, which is keeping an eye out for parking our cars and travelling from one area to the next, we want to discover parking spots quickly and easily, which is the USP of ‘ParkingAdda’.

The main reason for traffic jams is unauthorized parking and solving parking issues will better traffic problems.

Illegal on-street parking is one of the key causes of bad traffic congestion in major city centers. Inadequate and poorly managed parking facilities frequently force drivers to park illegally on the streets. When such parking encroachments spill onto footpaths, they endanger pedestrians' lives as well. Even the broadest roadways become congested owing to unauthorized parking. On the other side, some roads have more traffic than they can handle. Thus, road expansion is a fairly ad hoc solution to the problem.

Furthermore, with the lack of a centralized database, legislators and enforcers are uninformed about the traffic conditions and fail to take the necessary precautions to avoid traffic congestion. It's not difficult to picture that inadequate traffic management is the cause of traffic congestions. Even while local governments strive for forethought when planning and building a township, amenities such as paid parking are frequently overlooked. Furthermore, they may underestimate or act as if they have underestimated the vehicular density on specific roadways. Inadequate consideration of such critical elements contributes to traffic congestion in the long run.

Solving traffic issues with smart parking the way forward and this is the reasons that make ParkingAdda a need based service in the country, which looks at organizing parking options. Through our ‘rent your spot’ and earn option we also try and make use of every vacant space that can be used efficiently. We have developed our very own proprietary technology and also manufacture our own equipment’s in order to provide a full proof parking solution. Any issues faced if any can be rectified quickly.

In short ParkingAdda manages all its technical operations and manufacturing processes in house.

When vehicle owners have access to improved and safer parking facilities, they will naturally minimize their usage of unlawful places. As a result, a smart parking system can provide facility owners with tools for better administration while also helping to reduce traffic congestion.

As a result, our cities should move quickly to establish an effective smart parking scheme. Furthermore, city governments must educate vehicle owners on the value of responsible and paid parking. After all, parking is a privilege that must be paid for rather than a right.
