Automated Parking System: Boon for architects and builders

The exponential increase in car ownership and acute shortage of usable space is causing huge problems for car owners and commuters. Car parking is a major concern in urban areas in both developed and developing countries. Time and fuel is wasted as drivers search for parking space, traffic congestion increases and parking tariffs soar, making both environmental pollution - and human tempers - rise!

According to Wikipedia, "an Automated (car) Parking System (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars". It works like an automated storage and retrieval systems common in factories and warehouses…except it's designed for cars.

Benefits of automated parking systems

• Up to 70% less land area needed
• Up to 50% smaller building volume
• Up to 12% ROI
• Up to 85% fewer CO2 emissions as they eliminate the need for cars to keep idling or driving around when they wait or search for parking space

Boon for architects and builders

As populations and construction in urban areas continues to grow; as more residential apartments, shopping malls, office blocks and infrastructure projects such as hospitals, airports, metro stations, etc. come up; architects and project developers need to give serious thought to the question of parking for the end-user.

Provision of ample parking space is a necessity and an obligation. And done well, can enhance the project and the reputation of its creators.

For architects and builders, automated parking systems are the solution to their parking space challenges. Automated parking technology combines maximum storage capacity and optimum user comfort, with zero compromise on vehicle or customer safety.

The space saved by automated parking systems gives the real estate developer options to add more parking spaces, create green spaces or develop the area for other non-parking facilities & amenities.

Automated parking systems provide more flexibility for architects since they can make use of space above ground, underground, underneath existing buildings, narrow areas. What's more, automated parking systems are safer than conventional parking spaces. They remove pedestrians and eliminate driving from the parking area, so life is more secure.
