As Bhubaneswar will be a smart city, smart solution is a

first step towards solving the problem. An innovative

initiative for the better parking facility in the city of

Bhubaneswar is envisaged. BMC is going to bring

Computerized Automated Multi-level parking facility

soon to solve the problem faced by the citizens.

This will reduce the unauthorized parking

problem as well as parking chaos during peak hours. A

meeting for this was organized in the conference hall of

BMC for seeking opportunities for construction of

multi-level parking in Bhubaneswar. The parking

system will be made through PPP mode, where users

have to give parking fee on nominal basis. In few space a

lot of cars can be parked in a parking place which will

save space of the city. Also the automatic system will

save time and give solution for traffic problem.
