Transport Department's Commute with "Ease" Roving Exhibition opens tomorrow (with photos)
*****************************************************************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) will hold the Commute with "Ease" Roving Exhibition from tomorrow (December 7) until February 2020 to introduce the TD's forthcoming initiatives to facilitate the public's mobility. Members of the public are invited to visit.

     "We hope that through the exhibition, members of the public can have a better understanding of how the TD leverages innovation and technology to improve traffic planning and management, as well as the efficiency and quality of the transportation system, so as to bring greater convenience and comfort to commuters," a TD spokesman said.

     Apart from display panels, physical models such as the new generation of parking meters will also be on display at some venues. The new parking meter will be equipped with new functions including support of multiple payment means, and remote payments can be made by motorists through mobile applications. The new meter will provide real-time parking vacancy information so as to help reduce traffic generated by vehicles circulating in search of vacant parking spaces.

     In addition, to address the shortage of car parking spaces in Hong Kong, the TD is exploring the use of an Automated Parking System (APS) in government car parks to increase the provision of car parking spaces. Two pilot projects will be implemented in Tsuen Wan and Sham Shui Po districts. Two APS models - "Puzzle Stacking System" and "Circular Shaft Lifting System" - will be showcased in the exhibition to facilitate public understanding of the system. An APS is generally equipped with mechanical devices such as an express elevator and a revolving/horizontal moving platform for transportation of vehicles, allowing for automatic location and retrieval of parked vehicles. Compared with conventional car parks, an APS can generally provide 30 per cent to 100 per cent more parking spaces within the same footprint.
