Abstract
The underlying cause of the problem with parking is the imbalance between demand and supply in key areas where demand for parking is high, but parking is limited due to excessive land prices. Newly-developed automated multi-storey parking facilities are able to automatically pick up and place cars on different storeys, with minimal requirements on space. In the paper we concentrate on Automated Parking Systems and their malfunction rate. Specifically, we analyzed two automated systems located in the Czech Republic, in the towns of Brno and Slaný. We employed time series and various testing hypotheses to compare the malfunction rate of the systems, and used information from practice. We conclude with an evaluation and a brief description of the optimization of systems and the use of innovative tools.
Highlights
In contrast to traditional parking facilities that require space for access roads, access lanes, and landscaping not involving parking space, automated elevators are used to take in and place cars, meaning that no other space is required for the transportation of cars and drivers, a fact which we can exploit to significantly reduce the use of land
We focused on Automated Parking Systems (APS) and their malfunction rate
We found that the number of malfunctions is comparable in both, but that the structure of malfunctions differs and that Brno shows a more sustained decrease in the number of malfunctions
Summary
The idea of automated, multi-storey facilities that put the limited space to better use has been proposed, in light of newly-developed automatic technology. In contrast to traditional parking facilities that require space for access roads, access lanes, and landscaping not involving parking space, automated elevators are used to take in and place cars, meaning that no other space is required for the transportation of cars and drivers, a fact which we can exploit to significantly reduce the use of land. As a result of its compact, multi-storey structure, an automated parking system can significantly increase the number of parking spaces, and in doing so reduce the cost of land per car. After receiving confirmation from the driver, the elevator automatically places the car in free
