Design and Analysis of EV Parking Infrastructure with Integrated Charging Stations for Smart Cities
The rapid growth of electric vehicles in urban environments demands the development of efficient and sustainable infrastructure to support large-scale adoption. This study presents the design and analysis of a multi-level electric vehicle parking facility integrated with charging stations, specifically developed for smart city applications. The project focuses on optimizing parking layout, structural design, traffic circulation, and charging integration within a limited urban space. A systematic methodology involving site analysis, load calculations, and structural design based on Indian Standards is adopted. The facility incorporates alternating current and fast charging systems, ensuring accessibility, safety, and energy efficiency. Smart features such as digital monitoring, automated billing, and real-time occupancy tracking are also considered. The proposed model enhances land utilization, reduces congestion, and improves user convenience. The results demonstrate that integrated EV infrastructure can significantly contribute to sustainable urban mobility and support the transition toward clean transportation systems.
