Srinagar, Jul 31: Srinagar International Airport is all set to get an advanced automated parking system as the Airports Authority of India is implementing the initiative across the country.
In a statement, Srinagar airport director Javed Anjum said that the AAI is coming up with an advanced automated parking system, specially designed to enhance the parking experience of passengers and visitors while minimizing human interference.
He said that the main feature of this parking system is that it is inherently designed with reasonable and logical tariffs calculated based on 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,” the statement reads.
It reads that the vehicle will be mapped at the entry point and will be allowed a reasonable time of 14 minutes to enter the airport for drop off and pick up of passengers.
“If the vehicle doesn’t cross the airport exit within the free time of 14 minutes, it will be charged 15 slabs of parking fee of Rs 40. However, there is no free time for commercial vehicles,” it reads.
It added that 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 the parking exit to the airport exit will be 5 minutes. Further to enhance convenience and to provide a seamless experience, the parking system will be integrated with Fastag technology allowing for quicker exits,” it read.
