In many cities, it is now difficult to find a parking space – especially in city centers. However, an automated parking garage with a high parking density can counteract this problem.
An automated parking garage is a parking garage in which vehicles are parked without a driver. Parking is handled by a computer-controlled system that maneuvers the vehicles into the appropriate parking spaces and parks them there.
Automated parking garages offer parking spaces for significantly more vehicles than conventional parking garages, as they can be used more efficiently. In this way, significantly more parking spaces can be created in urban living spaces.
The construction of the first automated parking garages was repeatedly halted due to cost overruns and technical problems. The systems are now fully developed. In the future, many cities are expected to build an automated parking garage.
How does an automated parking garage work?
The parking system parks vehicles vertically and/or horizontally, whereby a distinction can be made between semi-automatic and fully automatic systems.
With semi-automatic systems, the user must control the parking process by continuously pressing a button.
Fully automated systems work in a similar way to an automated high-bay warehouse. The driver drives his vehicle into the entrance area onto a movable parking platform. The driver gets out of the car and triggers the fully automated parking of his vehicle at a ticket machine or via an app.
Conversely, this also works for picking up a vehicle. After entering the parking ticket at the parking garage entrance or by activating it via an app, the vehicle is transported to the entrance fully automatically.
The driver can monitor his vehicle remotely via an app.
The driver has constant control over his vehicle and the parking process. The occupancy rate can also be viewed via the app and offers real added value here too. No more searching for a parking space and wasting time unnecessarily.
An automatic parking garage ensures that the vehicles are parked conveniently and safely and are also protected from scratches. Parking is also environmentally friendly, as no exhaust fumes are produced.
