Conventionally, parking systems have no intelligent control. Parking is controlled by humans. All vehicles enter the parking lot and waste time looking for parking slots. Sometimes this can create locks. Conditions worsen when there are multiple parking lanes and each lane has multiple parking slots. The use of automated systems for parking monitoring will reduce human effort.
A parking system is a mechanical device that multiplies the parking capacity within a parking lot. Parking systems are generally driven by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles to a storage position.
There are two types of parking systems: traditional and automated. In the long run, automated parking systems are likely to be more cost-effective compared to traditional parking garages. Automatic automated multi-storey automatic parking systems are less costly per station because they tend to require less building volume and less floor space than a conventional facility with the same capacity. Both automated parking systems and automatic garage systems reduce pollution: cars do not circulate or circulate while drivers search for parking spaces.
Operation
Automated parking systems use a type of technology similar to that used for mechanical handling of packages and retrieval of documents. The driver leaves the car inside an entry area and the vehicle park technology in a designated area. Hydraulic or mechanical lifts lift the vehicle to another level for proper storage. The vehicle can be transported vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left and right) to an empty parking space until the car is needed again. When the vehicle is needed, the process is reversed and the car lifts transport the vehicle back to the same area where the driver left it. In some cases, a turntable can be used to position the car so that the driver can move conveniently without having to back up.
History
Over the years, parking systems and accompanying technologies have grown and diversified. Car parking systems have existed since the cars were invented. In any area where there is a significant amount of traffic, there are car parking systems. Parking systems were developed in the early 20th century in response to the need for storage space for vehicles.
In the 1920s, forerunners of automated parking systems appeared in US cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Cincinnati. Some of these multi-storey structures are still standing, and have been adapted for new uses. One of the Kent Garages in New York (now known as the Sofía Apartments) is an Art Deco landmark that became offices and luxury condominiums in 1983. A system now found throughout Japan - the "Ferris Wheel" O Paternoster system - was created by Westinghouse Corporation in 1923 and subsequently built in 1932 on Monroe Street in Chicago. The Nash Motor Company created the first closed version of this system for the Chicago Century of Progress Exhibition in 1933, and was the forerunner of a more recent version, the Smart Car Towers in Europe.
Maintenance and service
Service intervals vary for automated parking systems, depending on the type of machines used and their use. Parking systems should be maintained at least once a year, and up to four times a year for high traffic or valet parking areas. In addition, regular cleaning is mandatory to keep the car parking system in great working order, especially with the problems posed by the weather (the salt on the road can extend to lifter platforms and cause serious damage if not removed Clean all critical elements of your automated parking system, including car lifts up and down, all concrete wells, all posts resting on the concrete and all concrete floors in the parking area.
