Well aware of traffic hazards and also vehicle parking woes across city, these two youths, one studying Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in Government College of Engineering and other who has just cleared Class XII examination and joined Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), have come up with a definite solution. After facing the parking and other traffic-related problems, the duo conducted a serious study to come up with a needed solution.
 
This gave birth to an idea of developing automatic parking resolver. The duo developed the model and presented it at international competition and bagged first prize in State. Automatic Parking Resolver, was collaborative project of Daniyal Qureshi, from Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Government College of Engineering, and Shivam Joshi, who did Class XII from Apostolic Junior College and currently a student of City Premiere College. The invention was ranked first in Maharashtra in the first challenge given by Youth Endeavours for Social Innovation Using Sustainable Technology (IEEE YESISIT-12), organised by Stamford International University of Thailand, hosted at YCCE in Nagpur. “We met during Mayor’s renovation award where Daniyal stood third and I came fifth. This IEEE completion has no connection to the college.
 
One can choose anybody as his/her partner from any college, from any country. The giant wheel gives enjoyment. I thought why not to use it for solving parking problem. On one wheel, 36 vehicles can be parked. With joint efforts, we developed the idea further and won the prize,” said Shivam Joshi. Daniyal and Shivam have been invited for the final event of IEEE YESISIT -12 at Stamford International University of Thailand. Automatic Parking Resolver is a specially designed vertical car parking system which comes under the social humanities issues. Its objective is to reduce traffic-jams and resolve car parking issues that one faces daily. As cars are parked vertically in a circular manner, a lot of land space remains free and the place looks spacious as well.
 
This system has two modes -- automatic and manual (for any emergency). In parking lots, a lot of time is wasted just to park cars as the arrangement is horizontal, but in this system, fast parking of cars is possible with increased efficiency. Traffic-jams can be tackled by reducing number of cars parked along roads and adopting this system for parking four-wheelers. Shivam formed a company -- Codons Technology -- when he attained the age of 18 year. The company not only trains youngsters on languages of computers but also employees of some companies. Shivam is of the opinion, nobody should depend on their education and related job. In fact, one should learn and try to earn also on the basis of one’s skills, he added. Shivam is grateful to all those who guided him. Daniyal owes his success to the blessings of his parents and continuous guidance and motivation from staff members of Electronics and Telecommunication Department of the college. Dr M B Khumthekar, Principal, Government College of Engineering, all departmental heads and Deans congratulated Daniyal for the achievement.
