Elevated Parking

System Design

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

 Objectives

develop an elevated parking system to save ground space

the system should allow user to enter and exit their vehicle
with ease

 Conceptual Design 1
two levels to park

first car parked at base

level

mechanism will lowers to

allow second car to park

system comprise of motor,

pulley, and cable

gear reduction ratio will be

used to create more
torque

 Conceptual Design 1

Advantages:

simple mechanism

easy to maintain

Disadvantages:

require 2 floors of space

 Conceptual Design 2

two levels to park

elevator attached with

sliding mechanism

mechanism will raise the

car to allow second car to
park

manual controlling
mechanism

 Conceptual Design 2
Advantages:

easy sequence
mechanism

Disadvantages:

complicated
mechanism; 2 motions
are required

lots of parts required

 Conceptual Design 3

when parked, the car will

be slide to the lift

if the upper car want to

exit, the lower car must
get out first

mechanism will raise the

car to allow second car to
park

manual controlling
mechanism

 Conceptual Design 3
Advantages:

require 2 stories
ground space

Disadvantages:

complicated
mechanism; 2 motions
are required

complicate working
sequence
