INTRODUCTION
Multistoried car parking system helps to minimize the parking area. In the
modern world where parking space has become a very big problem, it has
become very important to avoid the wastage of space in modern big companies
and apartments etc. in places where more than 100 cars need to be parked,
this system proves to be useful in reducing wastage of space. This car parking
system enables the parking of vehicles, floor after floor and thus reducing the
space used. These makes the system modernized and thus space-saving one.

A vertical car Parking System is a mechanical system designed to minimize the

area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parking
garage, an APS provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically to
maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. The APS,
however, utilizes a mechanical system to transport cars to and from parking
spaces (rather than the driver) in order to eliminate much of the space wasted
in a multi-story parking garage. While a multi-story parking garage is similar to
multiple parking lots stacked vertically, an APS is more similar to an
automated storage and retrieval system for cars. The paternoster (shown
animated at the right) is an example of one of the earliest and most common
types of APS.

Features:
Save land area & take full use of underground space to raise more
parking numbers.
It has advantages of steady operation, low noise, fast operative speed &
short time of parking.
Fast maintenance& simple malfunctions solutions with PLC logic circuit.
Multi-channel safety protection & series of safety protection.

History of vertical car Parking Systems
The concept for the automated parking system was and is driven by two
factors: a need for parking spaces and a scarcity of available land.
The earliest use of an APS was in Paris, France in 1905 at the Garage Rue de
Ponthieu. The APS consisted of a groundbreaking multi-story concrete
structure with an internal elevator to transport cars to upper levels where
attendants parked the cars.
In the 1920s, a Ferris wheel-like APS (for cars rather than people) called a
paternoster system became popular as it could park eight cars in the ground
space normally used for parking two cars. Mechanically simple with a small
footprint, the paternoster was easy to use in many places, including inside
buildings. At the same time, Kent Automatic Garages was installing APS with
capacities exceeding more than a 1,000 cars.
APS saw a spurt of interest in the U.S. in the late 1940s and 1950s with the
Bowser, Pigeon Hole and Roto Park systems. In 1957, 74 Bowser, Pigeon Hole
systems were installed, and some of these systems remain in operation.
However, interest in APS in the U.S. waned due to frequent mechanical
problems and long waiting times for patrons to retrieve their cars. Interest in
APS in the U.S. was renewed in the 1990s, and there are 25 major current and
planned APS projects (representing nearly 6,000 parking spaces) in 2012.
While interest in the APS in the U.S. languished until the 1990s, Europe, Asia
and Central America had been installing more technically advanced APS since
the 1970s. In the early 1990s, nearly 40,000 parking spaces were being built
annually using the paternoster APS in Japan. In 2012, there are an estimated
1.6 million APS parking spaces in Japan.
The ever-increasing scarcity of available urban land (urbanization) and increase
of the number of cars in use (motorization) have combined with sustainability
and other quality-of-life issues to renew interest in APS as alternatives to
multi-story parking garages, on-street parking and parking lots.
Space Saving

All APS take advantage of a common concept to decrease the area of parking
spaces - removing the driver and passengers from the car before it is parked.
With either fully automated or semi-automated APS, the car is driven up to an
entry point to the APS and the driver and passengers exit the car. The car is
then moved automatically or semi-automatically (with some attendant action
required) to its parking space.

The space saving provided by the APS, compared to the multi-story parking
garage, is derived primarily from a significant reduction in space not directly
related to the parking of the car:

Parking space width and depth (and distances between parking spaces)
are dramatically reduced since no allowance need be made for driving the

8|Page
 car into the parking space or for the opening of car doors (for drivers and
passengers)
No driving lanes or ramps are needed to drive the car to/from the
entrance/exit to a parking space
Ceiling height is minimized since there is no pedestrian traffic (drivers
and passengers) in the parking area, and
No walkways, stairways or elevators are needed to accommodate
pedestrians in the parking area.

With the elimination of ramps, driving lanes, pedestrians and the reduction in
ceiling heights, the APS requires substantially less structural material than the
multi-story parking garage. Many APS utilize a steel framework (some use thin
concrete slabs) rather than the monolithic concrete design of the multi-story
parking garage. These factors contribute to an overall volume reduction and
further space savings for the APS.

For the last year and a half or so, we bombarded you with news about how
many vehicles any given manufacturer sells each month. We witnessed
together how millions after millions after millions of vehicles find new owners
each year worldwide. Toyota alone, to give you an example, sells around 8 and
a half million vehicles each year.

Naturally, the question arises: where will we park them all? We mean, the
streets aren't getting bigger, cities grow much slower in size than the sales rate
of new vehicles and yet, more and more cars keep poring onto the roads.

Many cities already battle congestion on a daily basis. Taking a one or two
hours margin when leaving for work has become part of hour daily routine.
Similarly, when returning home, minutes are lost in search of a parking space.
We're over run with cars...

The solution to all the parking problems isn't at all different than the one
envisioned by architects for accommodating the growing population: since we
can't go sideways, we'll go up (or down).

Enter the automated parking systems. Also known as automated parking

garages, multi-tiered car parking systems, robotic parking or simply buildings
for cars, the solution is as simple as it is effective: cars are stacked one on top
of each other, on several levels. This solution allows, for instance, for 20 cars to
occupy the same footprint as four would have done in normal parking
conditions.
An automated parking garage can be erected on any empty lot, even in between
buildings. They come in several sizes, so a city can choose which type of garage
fits its needs best. The building itself is made of a metal skeleton which can be
covered on the outside with pretty much what ever is needed for it to fit in the
city landscape.
9|Page
HOW IT WORKS
Automated parking systems make use of computers, sensors, cameras and
mechanical components to take the car, move it throughout the garage and
park it in an empty slot. The process is very simple and it requires little effort
from the driver.

There are two types of automated parking systems, depending on the manner
in which they transport the car from entry to the parking spot: horizontal
platforms or vertical lifts. In both cases, the process is very similar, with the
only thing that differs being the movement of the car until it reaches the
desired space (lateral or vertical).

In both types of systems, the car is driven into the multi-storied garage as
usual. Once positioned on the ramp, the driver shuts down the engine, secures
the parking brake and steps out of the car. While the driver does all this,
sensors analyze the vehicle to determine it's size and overall shape.
Once the driver has exited the building, the mechanical arms of the living
building are set in motion. Depending on the available empty spots in the
garage, the system determines where to take the car. Using various electro-
mechanical components, the car is moved into the respective spot, either
vertically or horizontally.

For the fastest such systems, the whole process can take as little as two and a
half minutes from entry to parking the car in its spot. Most such systems are
fitted with turntables, which means that when leaving, there is no need for the
driver to drive in reverse.

Now, if your wondering how the system recognizes which car is yours, you
should know it does no guess work. Automated parking systems give you a
card or key containing a code which identifies the position of the vehicle. Once
you scan your card or key, the system finds the car and sets in motion it's
mechanical arms to bring the car back to you.

ADVANTAGES
We doubt there's any real need for us to point out the advantages of such
parking systems over existing parking lots and even over multi-storied car
parks. Automated parking systems are, if you like, the next generation multi-
storied car parks. Having no access ramps, automated parking occupies less
space on the ground. Space is also gained from the fact that the cars are
staked together much closer compared to usual parking lots, because they
don't require clearance for the doors to open.

10 | P a g e
Automated parking systems can help cut CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
levels because they don't require the engine to be running while the car is
moved about through the building.
Automated parking systems can be built both above or underground,
depending on the available space in a given city.

DISADVANTAGES
The disadvantages of using such systems are pretty much limited to the so-
called acts of God. For instance, an earthquake can damage or even bring
down such a parking system, damaging the cars in it as well. Still, being a
mechanical gizmo, an automated parking system may from time to time fail
and scratch or damage the body of the car. Some may even go on and say you
may get the neighbors car...

Regardless of how we look at them, automated parking systems are the future
in parking. Still in their infancy, the system are somewhat common in Japan.
The US began erecting some in 2002, while in Europe such systems appeared
in cities in 2007.
Other Considerations

In addition to the space saving, many APS designs provide a number of

secondary benefits:

The parked cars and their contents are more secure since there is no
public access to parked cars.
Minor parking lot damage such as scrapes and dents are eliminated
Drivers and passengers are safer not having to walk through parking lots
or garages.
Driving around in search of a parking space is eliminated, thereby
reducing engine emissions.
Only minimal ventilation and lighting systems are needed.
Handicap access is improved.
The volume and visual impact of the parking structure is minimized.
Shorter construction time.

Applications
By virtue of their relatively smaller volume and mechanized parking systems,
APS are often used in locations where a multi-story parking garage would be
too large, too costly or impractical. Examples of such applications include,
under or inside existing or new structures, between existing structures and in
irregularly shaped areas.

11 | P a g e
APS can also be applied in situations similar to multi-story parking garages
such as freestanding above ground, under buildings above grade and under
buildings below grade.

MECHANICAL CAR PARK SYSTEMS(MCPS)

Mechanical Car Park System with a Pit

The MCPS with a pit is a simple mechanical hydraulic system with

horizontal platforms designed for vertical stacking and storage of both
sedan and SUV types.The system can be conveniently arranged for
indoor and outdoor use to allow the access of parking spaces
independently.

20 | P a g e
Mechanical Car Park System without a Pit
The MCPS without pit is specifically designed to use the same footprint of one
car parking space especially in the existing facilities (where space is a premium
requirement) such as offices, hotels and residences.

MULTILEVEL PUZZLE - SEMI AUTOMATED(SACPS)

The SACPS extends the existing parking space vertically up to 6 levels;
resulting in multi-layer parking solution with a single drive lane.
SACPS is designed to allow multi-level storage spaces above or below
ground with user friendly operation and ease of maintenance.
The SACPS can be fully covered especially for extreme hot and cold areas
and designed according to the user requirements with parking positions
for full SUVs and sedans.
The storage and retrieval of cars within the system is done on the ground
floor with a user friendly control panel to retrieve the stored cars from
higher levels.
The system is designed particularly for ease of use for any driver without
special training or the help of an operator.

21 | P a g e
 Sample Layout Drawing of SACPS (4 Tier-10 Rows-34 Parking Space)

The SACPS is based on storing the cars by a combination of stacking and

moving cars closer together by a variable arrangement of parking grids
beside one another. The steel structure has a carrying capacity to park
sedan and SUV types with safe lifting mechanism.
User friendly operator keypad to park in the nearest available space
When a free car slot is called, the cars will be elevated vertically and shifted
sideways in order to make space for the next user.

FULLY AUTOMATED CAR PARK SYSTEM(FACPS)

FACPS is ultimately designed for maximum space utilisation for the
vertical and horizontal storage of cars where space is not available.
FACPS structure can be included within the building structure or built
separately as a dedicated parking tower.
This system is mainly installed in high rise commercial business towers
and residential areas where safety and speed are a must.
The safety standards implemented comply with all international
regulations and standards and can be easily adjusted to the local
environments.

area which, when is clear from all personnel, will rotate
the car in 180 degree in order to make the driving out
forward, hence eliminating the requirement of dedicated
ramps or driving lanes.
User friendly car drop-off and pick-up station allowing
unhindered access to the car doors.
Cars are moved to the nearest empty slot, hence allowing
access to new storage and retrieval of vehicles.
