Today, there are car parking solutions available that allows you to book your areas before and save the precious time. For such systems you have a graphical representation for the car spaces available from where you can choose and book the space. The system is well integrated with the barrier system that allows you to check in automatically if you have a space reserved. The system automatically detects the plate number and allows entry.

The vehicle is automatically parked by using computer car transportation systems where it is lifted and automatically placed to the level where the computer assigns it to be parked. This technology has a lot of appreciation because of the convenience it brings the users. The mechanical system works according to the same principle as a high-bay storage system and is very easy for customers to use. The customer parks his vehicle in a large hand-over room, just as he would in a garage at home.

But the advantage with this parking solution is that a parking aid will provide precise information on whether the car is in the correct position. Once the customer has dropped off his vehicle in the hand-over room a crane mechanism turns the car in the right direction and transports it into the shelf system, where the vehicle is safely deposited in an empty parking unit. When the customer returns, he is required to pay the parking fee at the payment machine. Once paid, the transport unit retrieves the car from its shelf and returns it to the hand-over room. Then the customer enters the hand-over room and drives the car out without having to drive backwards as the vehicle is already positioned in the right direction by using a car turning circle.

The obvious benefit of automatic parking systems is the ability to fit more cars in less space which can solve many parking problems, but there are many other benefits to the developer, operator, consumer and society in general. Automated residential or commercial garages are a green solution since they preserve open space, have low energy consumption and have no carbon emissions, because vehicles are shut off before being parked in the system.
