Introduction
Automated parking is a method of automatically parking and
retrieving cars or vehicles to solve the problem of increasing
demand for safe and convenient parking as the number of vehicles
are increasing day by day. The driver parks his car at the entrance of
the car park structure and from there, the car is automatically moved
through the garage and stored in an open parking space. All these are
done by utilizing computer controlled system of pallets, conveyors,
shuttles, carriers and lifts in transporting cars from the arrival level to
a parking space and vice versa without human assistance. Later the car
will be returned to the driver using a signaling device outside the
building.
The growing population of India has created many problems - one
of the challenging ones being car parking which we confront almost
every day.
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.
These can be further categorized into fully automatic or
semiautomatic systems.
AUTOMATED CAR PARKING
TRADITIONAL CAR PARKING SYSTEM

Need
Space Saving
Multiple the numbers of cars in the same space
Increase the profits by full usage of land
Security
Free from risk of injury
Free from damage & dents
Free from theft & vandalism
Convenience
No more heated car by hot sunshine
No more dust/sand by desert wind
No more walking around parking decks

History
 Automated parking systems first appeared in Europe as early as the 1900’s and in the North America in the 1920’s.
The need for automated parking systems then is the same as it is now: maximize the value of available land by
condensing parking.
 The 1950’s saw the peak of the industry in North America with a number of high profile systems built but demand
in Japan, Koreaand parts of Europe.
 The technology has been around for a long time.
 Widely used in the other parts of the Country and theWorld.
Installed AutomatedParking
Systems (NorthAmerica)

 APS was first introduced in 1905 in Paris, France at the Garage Rue de
Ponthieu. It was built of the concrete structure at that time and an elevator
was used to lift the cars.
 A ‘Paternoster system‘ was built to park cars, around 1920. It was structured
like a Ferris wheel that could adjust eight cars in the space of two cars. The
structure became popular as it was easy to operate and occupied lesser space.
It could also be incorporated into a building
 .
 Washington D.C. saw the first-ever driverless parking garage in 1951 which
got closed shortly. APS captured the interest in the late 1940s-50s in the U.S.
Some of the systems employed during that time are still in use. These systems
included Bowser, Pigeon Hole systems, and Roto Park. These systems were
faced with frequently occurring mechanical problems and people had to wait
for an eternity to get their cars back.
 The U.K. got its own Auto Stacker in 1961 in Woolwich, London which was
also hard to operate. The U.S. regained its interest in APS in the ’90s and got
its first robotic parking garage in 2002 in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Advantages
Multi-level parking systems for sometime have provided relief since they come with a number of advantages –
The parked cars and their contents are more secure since there is no public access to parked cars
Only minimal ventilation and lighting systems are needed.
Lower maintenance and operational cost.
Minor parking lot damage such as scrapes and dents are eliminated.
More parking in less space.
Eliminating the need for ramps, aisles, passenger lifts & stairs.
Comfortable for the drivers & cars are more secured.
Cost saving for builders by saving height or depth.
Lower ceiling requirements
Dense depth-to-depth and bumper-to-bumper parking is possible.
Disadvantages
 This system has very good parking efficiency comparing to conventional system.
 Vehicle parking system is still time consuming.
 To park in upper story a helical pathway is made to drive on helical pathway for everyone is not comfortable.
 Efficiency of Parking system can be calculated by total volume available verses total stored volume.
 This system efficiency of this system is poor less than 20%.
 Infrastructure cost is high.
 Big staff is required to maintain.
 Overall parking cost is high.
 There may be fear of break down.
 It is not recommended for high peak hour volume facilities.

Fully Automatic Parking System
 Fully automated parking systems operate much like roboticvalet parking.
 The driver drives the car into an APS entry (transfer)area.
 The driver and all passengers exit the car.
 The driver uses an automated terminal nearby for payment and receipt of a
ticket.
 More sophisticated fully automated APS will obtain the dimensions of
Carson entry in order to place them in the smallest available parking space.
 The driver retrieves a car by inserting A ticket or code into an automated
terminal.
 The APS lifts the car from itsparking
 Space and delivers it to an exit area.
Fully Automated Car Parking
Semi -Automatic Parking System:
 Semi-automated APS also use a mechanical system of some type to
move a car to its parking space, however putting the car into and/or the
operation of the system requires some action by an attendant or the
driver.
 The choice between fully and semi-automated APS is often a matter of
space and cost, however large capacity (> 100 cars) tend to be fully
automated.

Rotary Car Parking System
 The Rotary Parking RP system is designed to permit up to a maximum of 8 cars to be parked easily and safely, on the
surface area required to park 2 cars. It is simple to operate with the driver parking and leaving the vehicles in the
system at the ground level. Once the driver leaves the incorporated safety zone the vehicles is automatically parked by
the system rotating to lift the parked car away from the bottom central position. This leaves an empty parking space
available at ground level, for the next car to be parked on. Since it is controlled by an integrated computer system, the
overall operation can be viewed with one screen.

Strategy For Total Planning
 Initial site survey: perform survey of the site proposed by the client including investigation of circumstances of
neighbouring area.
 Adoption: propose the best suited model of car parking system having befitting car accommodation capacity, by taking
account of land area, its conditions, soil bearing capacity, ambient surroundings, etc.
 Schematic drawing and initial cost estimate: prepare optimal layout and work out preliminary cost estimate based
on the initial survey and the result of the site selection. And also submit to client operation running cost estimate after
commencement of operation of the car parking system.
 Confirmation of specification: Ask client to confirm specifications of the proposed parking system and scope of
work.
 Contracting: Set up a contract with client after contract amount, specifications, production and construction schedule
have been confirmed.
 Construction & Schedule control: establish administrative structure and undertake construction work in accordance
with progress schedule by placing top priority on safety.
 Turnover of Car Parking System: Turnover to the client the pertinent and completed car system as soon as
completion test and explanation on operation has been performed.
 Maintenance and management services: after completion and renewal of such car parking system.

Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi & Sons in Al Jahra, Kuwait.
 The facility was inspected on 21 October 2017.
 It renowned the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Automated
Parking Facility.”
 It was designed as a combination of 684 concrete ramp parking spaces
with 2,314 automated spaces on top.
 The Robotic Parking Systems portion of the project provides almost 3.5
times the number of conventional ramp-style parking spaces in
approximately the same volume. While the conventional parking
portion is 7 levels and over 97 feet high, the RPS portion is 11 levels
and 115 high.
