Advantages Of Automated Parking Systems

Most urban and suburban areas have been dealing with severe shortages of parking spaces - a situation which is made worse by sky-high land prices. Multilevel parking systems present themselves as eminently effective solutions. It takes time to park and remove vehicles in traditional car parks and it is relatively difficult to find a free parking space. Additionally, the management of parking lots is fraught with challenges. Finding suitable manpower to guard, operate and manage the systems is not only hard, but it is also expensive as well.

Automated parking systems are the perfect solution to these problems and help make lives significantly easier!

Functions of Automatic Parking Systems

The advent of the latest technology has allowed for smart car parking systems that can be automated and made intelligent. Some of their major functions are:

-Locating empty parking slots in the shortest time

-Keeping track of the activity of the parking slot

• -Regulating entry to only registered users
• -Displaying the number of vacant slots

-Operating a systematic entry and exit point

-Recording, processing, storing and channelling parking activity data

-Providing safety and security for the car

The wide range of functionality makes it apparent that automated multilevel car parking systems are the future of parking solutions. These systems are the smart parking that smart cities across the world are opting for.

Key Features Common to all Automatic Parking Systems

1. Vertical lifts - These parking systems use a hydraulic system that permits the vertical and lateral movement of the vehicles until they are placed in a free parking spot. The layout of the system on the ground can be optimised for a variety of vehicles, makes and models.
2. Entrance platform - In such systems, the entrance platform is the point of access that leads to the storage system. The platforms are sturdy by design and well manufactured in ways that eliminate excess noise and vibrations. Turntables can also be optionally integrated into the system for ease of use.
3. Identification of vehicles - The key to creating an efficient and economical system for parking cars is the automatic identification of the vehicle.
