Vertical Car Parking

A vertical car Parking System is a mechanical system designed to minimize the

area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parkinggarage, an APS provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically tomaximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. The APS,however, utilizes a mechanical system to transport cars to and from parkingspaces (rather than the driver) in order to eliminate much of the space wastedin a multi-story parking garage. While a multi-story parking garage is similar tomultiple parking lots stacked vertically, an APS is more similar to anautomated storage and retrieval system for cars. The paternoster (shownanimated at the right) is an example of one of the earliest and most commontypes of APS.

Features: Save land area & take full use of underground space to raise moreparking numbers. It has advantages of steady operation, low noise, fast operative speed &short time of parking. Fast maintenance& simple malfunctions solutions with PLC logic circuit.Multi-channel safety protection & series of safety protection.

History of vertical car Parking Systems

The concept for the automated parking system was and is driven by twofactors: a need for parking spaces and a scarcity of available land.

The earliest use of an APS was in Paris, France in 1905 at the Garage Rue dePonthieu. The APS consisted of a groundbreaking multi-story concretestructure with an internal elevator to transport cars to upper levels whereattendants parked the cars.

In the 1920s, a Ferris wheel- like APS (for cars rather than people) called apaternoster system became popular as it could park eight cars in the groundspace normally used for parking two cars. Mechanically simple with a smallfootprint, the paternoster was easy to use in many places, including insidebuildings. At the same time, Kent Automatic Garages was installing APS withcapacities exceeding more than a 1,000 cars.

APS saw a spurt of interest in the U.S. in the late 1940s and 1950s with theBowser, Pigeon Hole and Roto Park systems. In 1957, 74 Bowser, Pigeon Holesystems were installed, and some of these systems remain in operation.However, interest in APS in the U.S. waned due to frequent mechanicalproblems and long waiting times for patrons to retrieve their cars. Interest inAPS in the U.S. was renewed in the 1990s, and there are 25 major current andplanned APS projects (representing nearly 6,000 parking spaces) in 2012.

While interest in the APS in the U.S. languished until the 1990s, Europe, Asiaand Central America had been installing more technically advanced APS sincethe 1970s. In the early 1990s, nearly 40,000 parking spaces were being builtannually using the paternoster APS in Japan. In 2012, there are an estimated1.6 million APS parking spaces in Japan.

The ever-increasing scarcity of available urban land (urbanization) and increaseof the number of cars in use (motorization) have combined with sustainabilityand other quality-of-life issues to renew interest in APS as alternatives tomulti-story parking garages, on-street parking and parking lots.

Space Saving

All APS take advantage of a common concept to decrease the area of parkingspaces - removing the driver and passengers from the car before it is parked.With either fully automated or semi-automated APS, the car is driven up to anentry point to the APS and the driver and passengers exit the car. The car isthen moved automatically or semi-automatically (with some attendant actionrequired) to its parking space.

The space saving provided by the APS, compared to the multi-story parkinggarage, is derived primarily from a significant reduction in space not directlyrelated to the parking of the car:

Parking space width and depth (and distances between parking spaces)

are dramatically reduced since no allowance need be made for driving thecar into the parking space or for the opening of car doors (for drivers andpassengers)

No driving lanes or ramps are needed to drive the car to/from theentrance/exit to a parking space

Ceiling height is minimized since there is no pedestrian traffic (driversand passengers) in the parking area, and

No walkways, stairways or elevators are needed to accommodatepedestrians in the parking area.

With the elimination of ramps, driving lanes, pedestrians and the reduction in

ceiling heights, the APS requires substantially less structural material than themulti-story parking garage. Many APS utilize a steel framework (some use thinconcrete slabs) rather than the monolithic concrete design of the multi-storyparking garage. These factors contribute to an overall volume reduction andfurther space savings for the APS.

For the last year and a half or so, we bombarded you with news about howmany vehicles any given manufacturer sells each month. We witnessedtogether how millions after millions after millions of vehicles find new ownerseach year worldwide. Toyota alone, to give you an example, sells around 8 anda half million vehicles each year.

Naturally, the question arises: where will we park them all? We mean, thestreets aren't getting bigger, cities grow much slower in size than the sales rateof new vehicles and yet, more and more cars keep poring onto the roads.

Many cities already battle congestion on a daily basis. Taking a one or twohours margin when leaving for work has become part of hour daily routine.Similarly, when returning home, minutes are lost in search of a parking space.We're overrun with cars...

The solution to all the parking problems isn't at all different than the oneenvisioned by architects for accommodating the growing population: since wecan't go sideways, we'll go up (or down).

Enter the automated parking systems. Also known as automated parkinggarages, multi-tiered car parking systems, robotic parking or simply buildingsfor cars, the solution is as simple as it is effective: cars are stacked one on topof each other, on several levels. This solution allows, for instance, for 20 cars to


5/28

occupy the same footprint as four would have done in normal parkingconditions.

An automated parking garage can be erected on any empty lot, even in betweenbuildings. They come in several sizes, so a city can choose which type of garage

fits its needs best. The building itself is made of a metal skeleton which can becovered on the outside with pretty much what ever is needed for it to fit in thecity landscape.

HOW IT WORKS

Automated parking systems make use of computers, sensors, cameras andmechanical components to take the car, move it throughout the garage andpark it in an empty slot. The process is very simple and it requires little effortfrom the driver.

There are two types of automated parking systems, depending on the mannerin which they transport the car from entry to the parking spot: horizontalplatforms or vertical lifts. In both cases, the process is very similar, with theonly thing that differs being the movement of the car until it reaches thedesired space (lateral or vertical).

In both types of systems, the car is driven into the multi-storied garage asusual. Once positioned on the ramp, the driver shuts down the engine, securesthe parking brake and steps out of the car. While the driver does all this,sensors analyze the vehicle to determine it's size and overall shape.

Once the driver has exited the building, the mechanical arms of the livingbuilding are set in motion. Depending on the available empty spots in thegarage, the system determines where to take the car. Using various electro-mechanical components, the car is moved into the respective spot, eithervertically or horizontally.

For the fastest such systems, the whole process can take as little as two and ahalf minutes from entry to parking the car in its spot. Most such systems arefitted with turntables, which means that when leaving, there is no need for thedriver to drive in reverse.

Now, if your wondering how the system recognizes which car is yours, youshould know it does no guess work. Automated parking systems give you acard or key containing a code which identifies the position of the vehicle. Once

you scan your card or key, the system finds the car and sets in motion it'smechanical arms to bring the car back to you.

ADVANTAGES

We doubt there's any real need for us to point out the advantages of suchparking systems over existing parking lots and even over multi-storied carparks. Automated parking systems are, if you like, the next generation multi-

storied car parks. Having no access ramps, automated parking occupies lessspace on the ground. Space is also gained from the fact that the cars arestaked together much closer compared to usual parking lots, because theydon't require clearance for the doors to open.

Automated parking systems can help cut CO2 emissions and fuel consumptionlevels because they don't require the engine to be running while the car ismoved about through the building.Automated parking systems can be built both above or underground,depending on the available space in a given city.

DISADVANTAGES

The disadvantages of using such systems are pretty much limited to the so-called acts of God. For instance, an earthquake can damage or even bringdown such a parking system, damaging the cars in it as well. Still, being amechanical gizmo, an automated parking system may from time to time failand scratch or damage the body of the car. Some may even go on and say youmay get the neighbors car...

Regardless of how we look at them, automated parking systems are the futurein parking. Still in their infancy, the system are somewhat common in Japan.

The US began erecting some in 2002, while in Europe such systems appearedin cities in 2007.

Other Considerations

In addition to the space saving, many APS designs provide a number ofsecondary benefits:

The parked cars and their contents are more secure since there is nopublic access to parked cars.

Minor parking lot damage such as scrapes and dents are eliminated Drivers and passengers are safer not having to walk through parking lots

or garages. Driving around in search of a parking space is eliminated, thereby

reducing engine emissions. Only minimal ventilation and lighting systems are needed. Handicap access is improved. The volume and visual impact of the parking structure is minimized. Shorter construction time.

Applications

By virtue of their relatively smaller volume and mechanized parking systems,APS are often used in locations where a multi-story parking garage would betoo large, too costly or impractical. Examples of such applications include,

under or inside existing or new structures, between existing structures and inirregularly shaped areas.

APS can also be applied in situations similar to multi-story parking garagessuch as freestanding above ground, under buildings above grade and underbuildings below grade.
