An automated parking system (APS) is an advanced technology solution that helps optimize space and improve the efficiency of parking management. Instead of using traditional parking lots with large spaces and manually arranging cars, this system automates the process of storing and retrieving cars, providing convenience and maximum space savings. This is a solution that is being widely used in large cities, where the demand for parking is increasing and parking space is becoming increasingly scarce.
What is automated parking?
What is an automated parking system?
Automatic parking is a technology that uses mechanical devices or robots to move and park cars in predetermined locations without human intervention. From storing to retrieving cars, all processes are automated through management software and control systems.
There are many different forms of automated parking systems, the most common of which are:
- Pallet moving parking system (Robocar): The vehicle is placed on a pallet and the system will automatically move the pallet to the parking position.
- Robotic moving parking system (Robotic): The robot moves the vehicle directly to the parking position without the need for a pallet.
- Puzzle Parking System: The vehicle is brought to different floors via an elevator or automatic lifting/lowering mechanism.
Why use an automated parking system?
Using an automated parking system brings many significant benefits:
- Space saving: Compared to traditional parking lots, the automated system helps double or even triple the number of vehicles that can be parked in the same area.
- Reduce parking time: With automated technology, the process of storing and retrieving vehicles is quick and accurate, saving time for both the driver and the management board.
- Vehicle safety and protection: The automatic parking system minimizes unwanted collisions during parking, minimizing damage and the risk of property loss.
In addition, this technology also meets the increasing demand for parking spaces, especially in urban areas, commercial centers, hospitals, and areas with high traffic density. The automatic parking system is not only a spatial solution, but also contributes to the construction of a smarter, more modern and convenient urban infrastructure.
Which buildings are automatic parking systems suitable for?
Automatic parking systems can be flexibly applied to many types of buildings, from apartments, offices, hotels to commercial centers or tourist areas. Depending on the scale and requirements of the project, the system can have from 2 to 5 floors in buildings or underground parking lots. With systems from 5 to 10 floors, they are often installed in public parking lots, factories or outdoor areas.
ETEK’s automatic parking system not only helps projects achieve the required number of parking spaces according to state regulations, but is also a solution to increase the number of parking spaces, meeting actual needs. This not only helps projects meet licensing requirements but also increases exploitation value during operation.
Conclusion
The automatic parking system is a breakthrough in the management and exploitation of parking spaces today. With benefits such as saving space, safety and increasing operational efficiency, this is an indispensable solution for modern urban areas and projects.
