Automated Car Parking System

Description

An automated car parking as the name suggests is a structure designed for car parking and where there are a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.

Traffic congestion caused by vehicles is an alarming problem on a global scale and it has been growing exponentially. The car parking problem is a major contributor and has been, still a major problem with increasing vehicle size in the luxurious segment and confined parking spaces in urban cities. Searching for a parking space is a routine (and often frustrating) activity for many people in cities around the world. As the global population continues to urbanize, without a well-planned, convenience-driven retreat from the car these problems will worsen.

It is a compact mechanical system that minimizes the area and/or volume required for parking cars by stacking the cars vertically, thus, maximizing the number of parking spaces and minimizing land usage.

They serve advantages like safety, saving of space, time and fuel (since one does not have to drive around for locating space) but also need to have an extra and a very detailed assessment of the parking required, space availability and traffic flow.

It is like a mini merry go round in which 4 cars can be accommodated in a vertical height of m and area of m2. Operating like a merry-go-round, an empty pallet to park a car, or a loaded pallet with a parked car, is brought down to the ground level at the touch of a button; the average time taken after the button being pressed is 2-2.5 minutes.
