Multi parking systems

Brief explanation

Strictly speaking, the term multi parking systems is not clearly defined. In the broadest sense, it is used for all parking systems that multiply the original parking space.

Detailed information

Due to the imprecise definition, a comparison with other areas in which the prefix “multi-” is used is useful. The term multimillionaire immediately gives everyone an idea that it doesn’t just mean 2-3 million, but many millions. In this sense, when applied to the area of parking systems, the term “multi parking systems” can be applied to the large, fully automated parking systems. Even if, in principle, this could mean any parking system that multiplies the number of parking spaces.

Variants

In addition to the analog and semi-automated parking systems with their numerous forms, with lifting tables and sliding systems and several levels and platforms, there is the large area of fully automated parking systems. The term “multi parking systems” probably applies best to these. This is because the multiplication of parking space is certainly the greatest with these.

In principle, these multi parking systems are large, automated warehouses in which cars are parked on corresponding platforms. These parking spaces are movable and can usually be moved both vertically and horizontally. With the help of digital technology, each vehicle can be directed to a free space and later recalled from there. In this case, call back is to be taken almost literally, because the platform and vehicle return to the user, not the other way around.

Possible applications

Such a fully automated multi parking system is of course only useful on a large scale. Consequently, these systems are mainly used by large parking garage companies. It is also conceivable for use in large, interconnected building complexes or factory premises with a correspondingly large number of employees and the corresponding parking space requirements.

However, as the term is also used for all other parking systems, it can also be encountered on a smaller scale.

Automatic garage

Most city centers today are characterized by an extreme shortage of parking spaces, which greatly impairs their attractiveness. However, relieving inner cities of car traffic and creating new open spaces are also important from a health perspective. The automated parking systems for cars and bicycles are technologically extremely sophisticated and offer architects, planners and real estate developers numerous advantages.

Advantages of the automatic garage

Semi-automatic and fully automatic parking systems are more sustainable than conventional parking garages because they save considerable energy costs for ventilation and lighting. In dense parking solutions, pollutant emissions are much lower because there is no typical driving traffic. Parking damage also occurs frequently in conventional underground garages, which is much less common in the automatic garage. Here, a fully automatic system maneuvers the vehicle to where it needs to be. Automatic garages are extremely space-saving, as the cars are noticeably closer together than in conventional underground garages.

Semi-automatic parking system: two cars for one parking space

Combination parkers are typical semi-automatic parking solutions. This system is based on moving and stacking together. New parking space is created by rotating or sliding parking spaces. The parking areas can also be planned underground, but the entrance area must be accessible from the property area.

The automated garage: leave everything to the system

The transfer cabin is designed for easy entry and exit, eliminating the need for complicated maneuvering. A vertical or horizontal lift transports the vehicles into the racking system, where they are safely parked and not touched. Depending on the available space, hundreds of vehicles can be parked on different levels in high rack systems or towers.

Fully automated parking solutions are intelligent systems and enable concentrated parking in city centers. All the driver has to do is drive the car into the cabin and the fully automatic system takes care of the rest. From the platform, it is driven by lift to a free parking space and parked. If the car is requested by the driver again, the reverse route also works perfectly.

Intelligent parking systems

Drivers spend an average of around 10 to 20 minutes looking for a parking space in city centers. This costs time and nerves, disrupts the flow of traffic and harms the environment and climate.

Intelligent parking, also known as smart parking, is intended to solve this problem. These are digital solutions that record and process real-time information on available parking spaces and provide corresponding guidance systems for drivers.

Principle and solutions

The idea of smart parking is based on using digital technology to identify parking options and direct vehicles to them in order to make the flow of traffic more efficient.


Various solutions are used to collect data for intelligent parking systems. One approach is data collection via sensor technology in cars. This will automatically scan the surrounding area for available parking spaces while driving and forward the information to a network. Other solutions are based on sensor technology that is directly linked to parking spaces. Ground sensors or sensors on street lamps, masts or similar are possible here. Artificial intelligence can then be used to evaluate this information and pass it on to vehicles, apps or traffic management systems, for example. In this way, the intelligent parking system provides information in real time, enabling efficient parking without the need to search in advance.

Intelligent parking systems can solve many problems

Driving around looking for a parking space is an everyday annoyance for many drivers, causing stress and sometimes costing valuable time. Searching vehicles consume fuel unnecessarily and cause emissions. They also cause traffic problems, especially at critical points such as city centers, train stations or major events. They clog up the roads and obstruct the flow of traffic. Stressed drivers and confusing situations often lead to accidents.


Direct guidance to the nearest free parking space by intelligent parking systems can prevent all this. In addition to road users, residents and the environment, parking lot operators can also benefit. For them, intelligent parking systems can mean optimized parking management, tailored charging and simplified monitoring.

Bicycle parking systems

Brief explanation

Bicycle parking systems are devices that offer the possibility of parking a smaller or larger number of bicycles safely and in as little space as possible.

Detailed information

The requirements for bicycle parking systems are determined by the special needs of two-wheeled means of transportation and their users. They generally consist of brackets arranged in different ways, most of which hold the front wheel in place so that the bike does not tip over. It is also possible to secure the bike against theft with a bike lock via the bracket.

Variants

There are many different variations of bicycle parking systems. The simplest form consists of one or a series of metal brackets attached to the floor or a wall. In other cases, these are available in several rows in larger numbers and can also have a roof. Systems with two levels are also available to multiply the available space.


Bicycle garages or proper bicycle parking garages as the next logical step are also available in a wide range of sizes.

Possible applications

The possible applications for bicycle parking systems are enormous due to the many different variations. An attentive observer can find simple hangers everywhere. Whether at public facilities or busy locations of any kind, they are lightweight and inexpensive and are therefore very popular.
Larger devices are mainly used in public spaces in busy locations. These are mostly station forecourts and other central points in city centers, which also have a high volume of two-wheeled traffic. Here they are often combined with parking spaces for smaller motorized two-wheelers.
Compact bicycle garages can also be found in the private sector. These make sense for apartment buildings with several residential units.


As a logical extension, bicycle parking garages are a good solution for larger residential complexes. However, large bicycle parking systems are also a good option for shopping centers, large commercial or office buildings and public facilities such as swimming pools and event rooms etc., offering visitors, customers or employees an opportunity to park their bicycles safely and easily.

Mechanical parking systems

Brief explanation

Mechanical parking systems are systems in which the vehicles’ own movement during the parking process is completely or partially replaced by the mechanical movement of platforms.

Detailed information

In contrast to a purely manual parking process, in which the driver steers the vehicle into the final parking position themselves, mechanical parking systems take over parts of this process to varying degrees. A distinction is first made between analog, semi-automated and fully automated systems.

The core of such constructions is the actual platform on which the vehicle is parked. Depending on the design and system, this can now be moved together with the parked vehicle. This movement takes place mechanically and, depending on the type of construction, via analog operation, digital control or even fully automated.

Variants

The various design forms for mechanical parking systems can occur in pure form or in combination with each other. There are hydraulic lift tables with 2 or more levels, different sliding constructions in a horizontal arrangement, simple parking spaces or entire fully automated parking garages. What they all have in common, however, is that the vehicle is parked on a platform, which is then moved as a parking unit.

Of course, it should always be noted that the respective design also sets corresponding limits for the size of the vehicles. However, this also applies to many “normal” parking spaces, which can also be limited to the sides or upwards, for example by a roof.

Possible applications

Mechanical parking systems can be used wherever there is a need and the conditions for construction are right. A simple lift table in the form of a double parker can solve a major parking problem in front of or next to the house, even in private homes.


As the various elements available can be combined with each other as far as possible, optimum solutions can in principle be found for all problems.

Space-saving parking systems

Brief explanation

The task of any parking system is to create parking space. Space-saving parking systems are all kinds of organizational forms that make this possible in a particularly efficient way.

Detailed information

Multiplying an existing parking space by means of several floors is an ideal way to increase the number of parking spaces. On a small scale, the use of hydraulic lift tables with 2 or more platforms is ideally suited for this purpose. On a large scale, however, space-saving parking systems do more than just increase the number of parking spaces. They make it possible to make optimum use of the available space by storing the platforms as close together as possible.

Under normal circumstances, a parked vehicle requires certain minimum distances to the right and left in order to be able to open the doors. Furthermore, one direction must remain completely free for parking and exiting. All this can be reduced to an absolute minimum if individual parking spaces can be pushed as close together as possible.

Variants

The vertical multiplication of parking spaces in the form of retractable lift tables is the best-known example of space-saving parking systems. For example, instead of having to create 3 parking spaces next to each other, only one parking space is required, the necessary parking space for 3 vehicles is created by using the 3rd dimension, i.e. the space, instead.

In fully automated multi-parking systems, the available space is utilized even more efficiently. The individual platforms with the vehicles are digitally organized both vertically and horizontally and moved and parked as space-savingly as is technically possible.

Possible applications

While the smaller multiple parking systems can also be found in the private sector, space-saving parking systems in the fully automated design described above are mainly found in parking garage companies and larger facilities.

In principle, the technical possibilities allow parking spaces to be designed to be as space-saving as possible almost everywhere. As with all investments, the relationship between the costs and the benefits naturally also plays a role here.

Underground parking systems

Brief explanation

Underground parking systems can be defined in the broadest sense as all systems that create parking space underground. This can be done in a simple form by sinking an above-ground parking space or on a large scale in the form of an underground parking garage.

Detailed information

Vertical multi-storey car parks are not only found above ground, but also as underground parking systems. At least one above-ground parking space is lowered vertically into a pit using a hydraulic lift table. This basic construction is used both outdoors and inside garages.

Underground garages, on the other hand, are completely underground. The parking decks can be reached underground via an access road or an elevator.

Variants

The different forms of retractable parking spaces are basically available in the same variety as for all above-ground parking systems. The number of levels is only limited by the conditions that determine the possible depth of the pit on site.

In the form of large-scale underground parking garages, underground parking systems not only offer significantly more parking space, they can also be combined with other parking systems. Smaller multiple parking systems can also be installed within an underground garage, for example. A cleverly implemented combination of different types of construction allows the range of parking spaces to be expanded enormously.
Fully automated multi-parking systems can also be installed underground.

Possible applications

On a small scale for individual parking spaces, underground parking systems can be found in a wide variety of forms in the private sector. Whether as a retractable parking space, an extension within a garage or in the form of a comprehensive underground garage on a larger scale, everything is conceivable.

Whether in vertical or horizontal design, also in combined form, the application possibilities are in principle unlimited. Underground parking systems offer a number of advantages over those that are above ground. Built-up areas, for example, cannot be used as above-ground parking spaces. Underground, on the other hand, the entire area of a property is available again, and if several underground levels are created, the parking space available is even multiplied.

Above-ground parking systems

Space-saving parking solutions in densely populated areas

In cities with limited space, the search for a parking space can quickly become a nerve-wracking challenge. Above-ground parking systems can provide a remedy here. These are innovative parking solutions that are used in confined areas above ground, under buildings or in underground garages.

How do above-ground parking systems work?

Above-ground parking systems are special parking solutions that make clever use of space to create more parking spaces in confined areas. There are various systems that work in different ways. However, the principle is always the same: several levels of parking spaces are arranged on top of each other in order to accommodate as many cars as possible in a limited space.

Depending on the system, the vehicles are automatically transported up and down or guided to their parking space by special robots. It is also possible to search for a parking space manually by placing the driver’s car on a platform, which then automatically transports it to the appropriate level.

Advantages of above-ground parking systems

Above-ground parking systems offer numerous advantages over conventional parking solutions. The biggest advantage is certainly the space saving: the vertical arrangement of parking spaces means that more parking spaces can be created in a limited space. Above-ground parking systems are also a sensible alternative in areas where it is difficult to build parking spaces due to a lack of space.

Another advantage is the increased safety for parked cars. As the vehicles are parked on special platforms and there are no other cars in the immediate vicinity, damage caused by parking and unparking is avoided. Vandalism and theft are also less frequent due to the closed parking systems.

In addition to these practical advantages, above-ground parking systems also offer ecological benefits: The efficient use of space can reduce land consumption, which is particularly important in cities where space is limited. In addition, the energy requirements of the parking systems can be reduced through the use of energy-saving technologies and solar cells on the roof.

Possible applications for above-ground parking systems

Above-ground parking systems can be used in many different areas. They are a sensible alternative, especially in densely built-up inner city areas where it is difficult to create sufficient parking spaces. They can also help to reduce the space required for parking spaces in airports, shopping centers and other public facilities.

Conclusion

Above-ground parking systems are an innovative and sensible solution to parking problems in densely populated areas. The efficient use of space means that more parking spaces can be created in a limited area, which is particularly important in cities with limited space. The increased safety for parked cars and the ecological benefits of reducing land consumption and using energy-saving technologies also speak in favor of using above-ground parking systems.

Depending on requirements and available space, various systems can be used that function automatically or manually. Above-ground parking systems can be used in a wide range of applications, from inner-city areas and airports to shopping centers and other public facilities.

Overall, above-ground parking systems offer an efficient and sustainable solution to parking problems in densely populated areas. By saving space and increasing safety for parked cars, they help to improve traffic flow and meet the need for additional parking spaces.

Underfloor parking systems

Underground parking systems – space-saving solutions for modern cities

Underground parking systems are an innovative way to save valuable space in densely populated cities. This technology makes it possible to park cars below ground level, creating parking spaces in areas where surface parking is limited or unavailable.

What are underfloor parking systems?

Underground parking systems are parking facilities that are built below ground level. These systems consist of a vertical shaft in which the car is lowered by an elevator and parked in a parking space below. If the owner needs the car later, it is brought back to the surface by elevator. The parking systems are usually fully automatic and can stack several cars on top of each other to make optimum use of the limited space.

Advantages of underfloor parking systems

The use of underfloor parking systems has several advantages over conventional parking spaces. Here are some of the advantages in detail:

  1. Space saving: Underground parking systems offer enormous space savings as they park cars below ground level. They can be used in areas where space is limited, such as city centers.
  2. Safety: Underfloor parking systems offer a high level of safety for parked cars as they are completely shielded from the surrounding area. There is no chance of cars being damaged or stolen from the outside.
  3. Aesthetics: Underground parking systems also help to improve the aesthetic appearance of buildings and cities. They make it possible to keep the above-ground space free of cars and offer a cleaner and more modern appearance.
  4. Efficiency: As underfloor parking systems are fully automated, more cars can be parked in a smaller space. This means that they are an efficient solution to parking space problems.

Disadvantages of underfloor parking systems

Despite the many advantages of underfloor parking systems, there are also some disadvantages that need to be taken into account. Here are some of the disadvantages:

  1. Costs: Underground parking systems are generally more expensive than conventional parking spaces. The high costs are due to the elaborate technology and complex design.
  2. Maintenance: As underfloor parking systems are complex technical systems, they require regular maintenance and repairs. This can lead to higher operating costs.
  3. Power consumption: Underground parking systems require electricity to operate. This can lead to higher electricity bills and also has an impact on the environment.

Conclusion

Underground parking systems are a promising solution to parking problems in densely populated cities. They offer an efficient and space-saving way to park cars safely and improve the aesthetic appearance of cities. However, the higher costs and power consumption must also be taken into account.

Overall, underground parking systems can be a great option to solve parking problems and make cities more liveable. By using modern technology, they can help to make more efficient use of limited space and at the same time improve the appearance of cities. It remains to be seen how this technology will develop in the future and whether it will be used even more widely in cities.

Sliding parker

Definition, function and advantages

Relocatable parking systems are an innovative solution for the limited parking space in city centers and other urban areas. In this glossary text you will learn all about mobile parkers, including their definition, function and advantages.

What are sliding parkers?

Shifting parkers are a new type of parking system that makes it possible to park several cars in a confined space by moving the cars on special rails. The cars can be parked lengthways or crossways, depending on requirements and available space.

How do mobile parkers work?

Sliding parkers consist of a steel structure with rails on which the cars can be moved horizontally. The cars are raised by a hydraulic lift to make room for other vehicles. An operator controls the movement of the cars with a remote control or a touchscreen panel.

Advantages of sliding parkers

Sliding parkers offer numerous advantages over conventional parking systems. Here are some of the most important advantages:

  1. Space saving: Shifting parkers require only a fraction of the space needed by conventional parking spaces. This means that more cars can be accommodated in a limited space, which reduces the search for a parking space and the overall space requirement.
  2. Efficiency: Retractable parkers are quick and easy to operate, which leads to greater efficiency. Cars can be parked quickly and easily without the need for a time-consuming maneuvering process.
  3. Safety: Sliding parkers offer a high level of safety for cars and users. Cars are safely stored and there is no risk of damage from other vehicles or accidents.
  4. Environmentally friendly: Since displacement parkers require less space, more green space can be preserved. This helps to protect the environment and improve the cityscape.
  5. Flexibility: Retractable parkers can be adapted to the needs of any location. They can be manufactured in different sizes, shapes and designs and thus adapt to the respective environment.

Conclusion

Shifting parkers are an innovative solution to the lack of parking spaces in urban areas. They offer numerous advantages over conventional parking systems, including space savings, efficiency, safety, environmental friendliness and flexibility.
