Abstract

Abstract In a parking house with KOMA TOWER computer-controlled automated parking system it happens that a control system is locked out of service after a pallet has failed to reach the required position during the shifting of pallets, loaded with cars, into rack cells. In this paper is described testing equipment designed by the Institute of Transport, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, VŠB Technical University of Ostrava for the purpose of simulating the process of pallets shifting into the rack cells in order that the frequency of error messages from the control system during the automated process of cars positioning in rack cells in the parking house may be limited. The paper details two completed parts of the designed testing equipment which provide for the calibration of strain-gauge force transducers and for the detection of coil compressive spring compression in relation to acting pressure force. The description of the third, principal design part will be provided in the next paper, together with the experimentally measured acting forces which generate, in both horizontal and vertical directions, as a pallet brake pulley rolls along a brake haunch length.

Summary

Introduction

Abstract: In a parking house with KOMA TOWER computercontrolled automated parking system it happens that a control system is locked out of service after a pallet has failed to reach the required position during the shifting of pallets, loaded with cars, into rack cells. Automated Parking Systems (APS) eliminate the space typically wasted in car parks by removing drivers from the parking process. APS eliminate much of the space wasted in traditional parking facilities by taking people out of the parking process and out of the parking area. It reverses the process to return the cars to their drivers This way APS utilize much smaller parking spaces and eliminate driving lanes, ramps, lifts, stairs, etc. The flexible arrangement of one or multiple elevators for vertical transport and the use of independent shuttles taking over the horizontal distribution of the cars in the storage area allow a larger number of parking spaces, for which normally multiple system would be necessary.
