In recent years, the tram market in Southeast Asia has developed rapidly, and the tram parking system has also attracted much attention. On the one hand, governments of many countries in the region strongly support the development of the tram industry, such as Malaysia's plan to achieve a 15% tram target by 2030, and Thailand's pure electric vehicle sales surged by 684% in 2023, which provides broad space for the construction of tram parking systems.
Some cities have begun to introduce advanced smart parking technologies, such as RFID technology, to achieve rapid identification of vehicles and unattended parking, improving parking efficiency. However, on the other hand, the tram parking system in Southeast Asia also faces many challenges. For example, the distribution of charging piles is uneven. In addition to Bangkok and the developed central regions of Thailand, there is a shortage of charging piles in other regions; the ratio of cars to piles in Indonesia is about 20:1, and the construction of charging infrastructure lags behind. In addition, the parking standards and specifications of different countries are not unified, which also hinders the integrated development of parking systems.
