What is Multilevel Parking? Multilevel car parking systems are manual or automated facilities that make use of vertical space over horizontal space for the parking of vehicles. They can house multiple vehicles on every level, allowing for the optimal utilization of scant parking space. Multilevel car parking systems come with many advantages. They offer low maintenance and low operating and construction costs. Automated types of car parking systems offer increased safety for both the car occupants and the car itself when compared to traditional parking lots. These multilevel parking systems also release precious urban space for other purposes like landscaping, amenities et al.While it may seem that the scarcity of parking spaces is a modern development, the first multilevel car parking system was designed and installed all the way back in 1918 in Chicago, USA.
