GENERAL GLOBAL MARKET OUTLOOK FOR SPOT PARKING SYSTEMS

Our business concept is development of Global Intellectual Parking Network for automobiles, electric cars and other vehicles.

Nowadays parking is a significant problem for megalopolises, where search for a free place always provokes anger of both drivers and passengers to say nothing of wasted time and parking tickets payments.

Searching for a free parking place and placing the car in without scratching of own and another's vehicles requires both luck and skills.

Parking in places crowded with cars takes lot of time and sometimes leads to negative effects. Transport collapse and lack of free place - these are the problems, which all world major cities suffer from. 

The number of vehicles worldwide is approximately 600 millions, which will grow as high as 1.4 -  2.7 billions by 2050.

According to Nature Magazine (www.nature.com), this data was presented by WIFO-Studie (www.witi.ac.at).

Even now, with comparatively low traffic of 500 millions of vehicles worldwide, there is a great demand for free parking place. This problem have risen most obviously in dense population centers, such as Moscow, London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, Perth, etc. 

Citizen of Tokyo or Hong Kong can get a log book only if he or she has found a parking place for the vehicle. In central parts of megalopolises people often face a problem of extremely long waiting for a free parking place.

Due to design, parking systems require significant number of floors. But the best way out was found when a method, which optimizes parking space on one level, was patented. This method is called SPOT (SPACE PARKING OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGY) and allows improving effectiveness of parking space usage up to 1000% at low cost. This technology can be an efficient solution for parking problem and may be implemented in any city of the world, especially in the biggest ones. This technology presents a particular interest for parking owners, which can significantly increase their earnings at a comparatively low price. 

This method is based on a popular game named ‘Puzzle-Blocks' and allows making the best use of parking space for the expense of removing of sidewalks, turning and maneuvering spaces.

Based on a considered concept, East West Project Development Association has founded a base for economical success in the area concerned and offers INVESTORS the best use of the advantages of growing urban parking market.

Groundbreaking technology of SPOT Parking will allow you to handle with a parking problem in urban space within the least time possible. Our system will save your expensive urban space for more than 1000 % in comparison with your previous solutions. Actually, SPOT Parking Systems can completely clear urban streets from vehicles, as far as they can be built in form of overpasses, bridges, and pedestrian crossings over the river channels, city crossroads, highways, and walkways.

Our solutions can be implemented in places where it is inherently impossible to build any other construction. The space, which is currently cleaned from garages, can be used for city parks, stadiums, playground, and other urban infrastructure. If required, Spot Parking Systems can me quickly disassembled and mounted in any other place, which suffers from parking problems. 

SPOT Parking systems do not use ground space and do not occupy valuable urban territory, as far it can actually ‘hang over' urban passages, streets, and crossroads, while making this space free for public gardens, stadiums, skating-rinks, tennis courts, playgrounds, and shops.

Just in the same way the upper floors of SPOT Parking Systems can be used as skating rinks, tennis, hockey, volleyball, and basketball courts at the courtyards of urban residential communities.

SPOT Systems will completely clean internal urban courtyards, streets, and central roadways from vehicles, as well as effectively help to resolve a problem of traffic backups and jams.

Stalin and Khrushchev buildings have passed into Russian history and widely known in Russia as far as they were architectural and town planning solutions, which were necessary on that time. A new urban parking system is an insistent need for all modern cities. The creators of these will be undoubtedly honored by contemporaries and descendants. We are sure, that the newest urban parking systems will enter the history and be surely named after the creator of this important architectural solution.

Moreover, our systems can be installed in immediate proximity to dwelling houses, which can become a convictive motivation for citizens to purchase and use SPOT Parking. 

By use of revolutionizing SPOT Parking Systems you may enter a qualitatively new global level and create a new generation parking complex covering vehicle parkings in a sole city, as well as develop an Integrated Global Electronic Parking Network all over the world.

The SPOT PARKING project is completely innovative, which have never been implemented before. We offer Moscow becoming the first city in the world to develop and implement this solution.

ADVANTAGES OF SPOT PARKING SYSTEMS

1. Low cost. The SPOT System is 50 % cheaper than any other similar solution currently available on the market.
2. Low building / installation time and ease of use.
3. SPOT Systems are economically efficient, quiet, and environmentally friendly.
4. No need to use expensive urban ground space in any city or settlement.
5. Availability to place parking in close proximity to housing habitations.
6. Safety.
7. Fast assembling and disassembling, ease of parking site replacement.
8. Preservation of materials and availability of recycled metal usage.
9. Low commercial payback period (8 - 9 months).

Currently, an average parking place in Moscow costs 2 - 2.5 Euros (approx. 100 Rubles) per hour. This means that 1 parking place brings 20 - 25 Euros per day in a daytime, 600 - 700 Euros per month and 7,200 - 8,400 Euros per year. This is for 10 hours of daytime work, but as a rule, vehicles require parking at evenings and nights.

The selfcost of 1 parking place of SPOT Parking is 4,000 - 5,000 Euros. Meanwhile, 1 hour of parking in London or New York costs not less than 8 - 10 Euros, therefore payback period of one parking place decreases to 2 - 3 months under hourly commercial usage.

Development of Global SPOT Parking Network will let its participant or customer get efficient personal parking service round the whole world. This service may include various range of services, including parking of individual vehicles, automatic washing service, maintenance, fuelling, oil and wheels replacement, wheel balancing, repair, etc.

SPOT Parking is a new global club-service parking network that can be implemented anywhere in the world.

SPOT System Customer which has acquired its ID can control his or hers vehicle condition remotely via PC or SMS service on his cell phone. Customers can track vehicle movement, order its delivery by specific time, as well as order remotely its washing, fuelling, or polishing not wasting valuable time. 

Just the same way, while moving in any city from point A to point B or C, the System Customer can order a parking place at point B or C to the time of his arrival remotely, by use of SMS service.

For instance, while the Customer of SPOT System moves from Brooklyn to Manhattan, or from Sokolniki to Arbat, he can order and reserve via SMS service a parking place for him in a required place on a specific time. SPOT Compute System will reserve, prepare, and report of parking place reservation at once. 

Once the Customer has arrived, SPOT System will immediately open a reserved parking platform, as well as gather automatically the payments for SMS service and parking.

Therefore, System Customer becomes not only the owner of parking place by his living house (where he always has a reserved parking place), but moreover, he becomes a user of common base of parking complexes anywhere in the city and world.

SPOT System customers and users will surely find a parking using theirs SPOT ID Cards in any city of the world.

Moreover, based on a database, the system will rent parking places, which are not currently occupied by cars of Customer. These places can be rented on hourly base to any other automobilists, while the absence of theirs owners' cars.

For instance, when a SPOT Customer, which lives in a center of London or Moscow, goes away for vacation, he can order the computer system via Internet or SMS to rent his parking place on hourly base to other third parties at commercial prizes. In this way SPOT Parking can bring profit in any time of day, even if it is not currently used by its initial owner. Payment for parking can be made by a transfer from cell phone account, as well by the Internet or a credit card. 

The use of the service supposes membership in SPOT PARKING CLUB for VIP Customers with PLATINUM, GOLD AND SILVER SPOT ID CARDS.

Ladies and Gentlemen, with your help we hope to create a new global parking logistics service of XXI century, which will cover world's biggest cities, business centers, hospitals, stadiums, hypermarkets, living houses, airports, railway stations, vehicle renting companies, etc.

Before the flight from any airport, our Customer can leave his vehicle for any desired term at SPOT Parking of the airport. The computer system can even make the charge lower, by moving Customer's vehicle from expensive crowded area to a chip and free location, the cost of which will be calculated based on standard values.  

In addition, SPOT Computer System can also rent Customer's parking place located by his living house. In this case the use of Airport Parking will be considered as the use of basic home parking. SPOT Computer, based on location, can re-calculate parking charge or pay the inequality, which will be transferred to Customer's account against his basic home parking services.

When the Customer comes back to the airport, he can send an SMS with his flight date and time to SPOT Parking Computer Control System, which will activate the system, prepare his vehicle and serve it to operation car claim area, as well as report the Customer via SMS.

Hereby we create a new configuration of intellectual parking to be integrated into urban space, which can be called Intellectual Parking of XXI century.

Nowadays, there is already a commercial solution, which can maximally facilitate parking processes and this solution is called SPACE PARKING OPTIMISATION TECHNOLOGY. This is a system based on logical replacement of parking platform under the control of numerical program control unit (NPC).

Differences of traditional parking and SPOT System are clear on the picture, where SPOT System have placed twice as much vehicles at the same one-floor parking.

Garage scheme of SPOT Parking was developed as brand new autonomic parking system with full process automation, starting from vehicle placement, ending with all following vehicle movements in garage space. System improves efficiency of use of internal garage area, allowing using it at maximal performance. The system operates with internal garage passages, which are currently required for vehicles maneuvering inside the garage territory. There is also unused space (approx. 3 - 4 meters by both sides of each parking vehicle) that is required to get into and out of the car. Using this territory it is possible to save 25 - 30 % of internal garage space. Actually this means, that vehicles are placed very close to each other, without any gaps - this excepts the loss of valuable parking space inside the garage. 

According to designed parking method, by use of different types of SPOT technology configurations, it is possible to place 10 - 14 vehicles within the area, which could previously accommodate only 5. 

The system works efficiently within any space configuration, length, height, complexity, fullness with internal constructions, crosswalls, supports, columns, communications and building bearing walls. This means, that all ‘dead spaces' of garage area, which are not used for parking including intercolumn spaces, blind alleys and service rooms can be used as SPOT parking territory.

System ensures continuous operative and independent availability for any vehicle that is placed at SPOT Parking, as well as quick delivery of any vehicle from any point of garage area. The system is fully automatic and doesn't require operator control. All actions for vehicle parking and delivery are executed via computer, which uses special software. Automatic post (hardware unit) which responds to appearance of vehicle before the gates, executes authorization and checks Customer ID, after which automatically delivers SPOT parking platform to the entry site. SPOT Platform can be controlled manually of by computer software in order to move it in garage space and place it at the parking. 

After platform deliver driver and passengers leave the vehicle and SPOT System with fixed car automatically moves to the parking place allocated previously by computer. With regard to parking time and duration set by the Customer, computer selects the most convenient area to place this vehicle: close to delivery post or, if continuous parking time was selected, deep inside the parking complex, meanwhile saving electric power and time of delivery of other vehicles. Implementation of SPOT System in big parking complexes, in order to lower the time of car delivery from parking area, allows use of special functions, such as request of desired time of vehicle delivery. This request can be sent to operator, via SMS or phone, or with use of radio-controlled token. This method excepts human staying within the parking area, which undoubtedly improves safety inside the parking complex, as far as all actions are executed by automatic robots. This can save not only valuable area of parking complex but also the time spent for parking search, maneuverings and vehicle delivery. 

Possibility of car theft is completely eliminated. Vehicle delivery and placing is executed in specially equipped and comfortable station, where a controlled platform can deliver Customer's car within the least time.

It is possible to implement SPOT technology both in big parking complexes and small areas of specific elite living houses as well as small underground floors of any kind of buildings, where convenient parking is not applicable due to design. Theoretically, it is possible to place SPOT Parking in a basement of any building, equipped with car entries. 

Nevertheless, implementation of SPOT Parking Systems will globally handle with the parking problem both for big parking complexes and small closed areas and rooms. System can be easily integrated into any room and structure; it can maintain both small garages for 3 - 4 vehicles and huge parking complexes.

Application of SPOT System can solve the imperious problems of traffic occupancy of megalopolises centers in any state of the world. SPOT System is environmentally friendly; it not only saves parking space, but also vehicle fuel, as far as its equipment allows parking with shut down engines.

Anyway, the growth of number of vehicles parked to 100 or even to 200 percents without essential extension of garage area will allow handling the parking problem in city centers, especially in districts with big office centers, elite living houses, expensive stores and firs-class hotels.

SPOT Parking system can handle not only control and accounting function, but also it controls vehicle movement inside garage space, and features with exceptional usability, convenience and low implementation price. The System can be used in public car parks located both in open sites and underground or covered rooms, as well as under temporary shelters or outdoor. The System consists of fast assembling module structures, quickly mounted and can be easily installed at any site with flat solid surface. 

SPOT Parking can be used as a public car park, as well as communal parking, the users of which are regular customers. System can be installed at parks with various amount of parking places, various automation degree, various capacity and volume of traffic.

Equipment modularity allows creation of optimal scheme for every specific case subject to investments and operating costs. The System can be easily mounted at any site out of separate fast assembling modules. For instance, open multilevel parking with 100 parking places will occupy 180 square meters and can be mounted within 2 weeks by a working crew.

Metal parking is a structure built on a base of metallic fabricated structure.

Metal car parks can be of following type: closed (multistorey buildings based on a metal structure, roofing and wall systems), semi-closed (wall structures can be partially modified; parts of wall can be replaced with a fencing net) and opened.

Floors of multistorey parks can also be of various type, for instance some floor systems allow adjusting useful floor height, lowering fire safety costs and building construction time.

The form-factor of SPOT Parking Systems allows separating every parking place with columns, although passages of 24 m in width can also be made. Due to low weight of the structure, basement loads are low and foundation can also be lightened.

General advantages of metal parkings are following: low mounting time (parking based on steel structure is usually built 35 - 45 % faster than concrete structure) and high degree of solution typification. In addition, due to exception of wet-mix a process, metal is more practically feasible in assembling.

‘The advantage of metal parks is that they are pre-engineered buildings. Upon construction of solid concrete buildings it is required to take some time while concrete hardens, at low temperatures it is required to heat concrete.' In contrast to concrete structures, it is always possible to sell metal after the end of parking operation life. The cost of metal within 50 or 100 years cannot be even forecasted, considering that our structures are extremely durable and rustproof. 

The industrial method of complete building construction has indisputable advantages.

‘The industrial method of building structures production is more effective than construction of them in working site conditions; while it allows avoiding additional risks. Concrete has a so-called service life. When a concrete mixer gets into a traffic jam, it should return backwards within 45 minutes, which means a failure in a production chain. When parts are produced at the workshop, everything is accurately considered and calculated. Bolted assemblies allow exception of welding processes.'

Any metal workshop can produce metal frameworks for Parking systems based on engineering drawings. There are 10 - 20 of them within the Russian territory, such as Volzhsky, Chelyabinky, Kulebaksky metal works and Metalware Workshop of St. Petersburg.

The weight of metal framework of 7-floored parking is approx. 700 tons; 5-floored parking weights 500 tons.

The cost of metal parking construction depends on the number of floors, dimensions of building, design solution subject to bay width, etc.

Due to light weight of structures the expenses for weight lifting can also be lowered. Moreover, delivery costs are also low as far as all parts can be delivered by motor transport. Application of plate-by-plate assembling method upon fencing structures installation for roof and wall systems allows considerably decrease transport costs, as well decrease time of weight lifting equipment usage, which in its turn also lowers construction expenses.

Assembling speed is also important advantage of metal parking.

‘Under the assumption that Customer accepts the standard design and has all permitting documentation, the parking project on base of steel framework can be implemented within 3 - 4 months.'

The warranty for building and construction works lasts for 24 months. Warranty periods for operation life and separate parts are determined individually for every specific case. Metal parking operation live lasts for at least 100 years.

The issue of static design has a significant value for metalware. Modern metalware design software allow to determine exact mass of bearing structures, foundation loads, as well as estimate assemblies and select the most convenient options at initial stage. It is also possible to consider resources, including temporary (transportation costs, building erection, etc.), develop schemes, profiles, two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of future structure.

We would like to put your attention to one of the most important issue: determination of investment amount by the Investors. Our software allow calculating exact cost of huge-bay full complex buildings on base of light metal structures at all stages of project, production of constructions, building, construction and finishing works based on customer's requirements, weight and cost of separate parts of bearing and fencing structures. It is enough to present us our requirements specifications. 

In most cases parkings are built for the expenses of investments. As far as metal parks are built within lower time in comparison with concrete ones, you can just calculate your bank interest.

The issue of metal parkings is urgent for all cities due to their active economic life.

Ground area is not only a valuable resource, but also a limited. In this connection car parks shall grow skyward. The problem of parking construction is urgent worldwide, but its solution became complicated due to soil characteristics. Construction of heavy concrete structures is not only uneconomic, but also can be impossible in many cases. It is required to place architectural solutions on base of light metal frameworks in close proximity to multistorey buildings and metro stations.

Steel is a flexible and practically feasible material; it is ideal for multilevel parking building. Metal is the present and the future of this segment of public construction.

The problem of lack of parking places and areas is urgent for all developed countries. Master plans of cities are outdated and do not correspond to rapidly growing amount of vehicles.

‘Open parkings based on a steel framework actually represent themselves economy-class buildings. Construction of light metal automatic and robotized parkings of new generation is a topical problem for any city center, the land area of which became extremely expensive.

Nowadays, 50 % of all constructed parkings are made of metal. Metal constructions became more popular in principle, to say nothing of metal car parks. Most part of parkings in Germany and England are constructed from metal.

Metal buildings are more elegant and presentable, they are more resistant to weather influence as far as metal usually finished with special rust-proof coating. No less important the terms of construction. 6-level parking for 3000 places in Cologne was constructed within 6 weeks. Such terms are unreal for concrete construction.'

EWECO.EU Company offers you cooperation in projection and development of metal parking structures for Russia and Europe.

According to preliminary estimations of experts, the demand of expansion of urban parking area in living and office buildings has reached 30 - 35 millions of vehicles within the territory of EU and Russia, which money equivalent is 1 000 billions EURO. This preliminary study of urban parking market was performed by INTERNATIONAL PARKING INSTITUTЕ, US, Washington subject to requirement of the markets of North and South America, Canada, Japan, Chine, Australia and Middle East.

Automobile is not a luxury, while parking is.
