Advantages of a Round Automated Robot-Park™ Parking System
Space Saving & Profitability
Problem
- Lack of parking space
- Inefficient use of available space.
Comparison
- Space required for 500 cars
-
-
-
- 60m x 80m = 4,800m²
- Less space is required when implementing Robot-Park™ Round Automated Parking Technology
- 36m x 54m = 1,944m²
- 80 x 6 = 480cars
- Less space is required when implementing Robot-Park™ Round Automated Parking Technology
- 40m x 60m = 2,400m²
- 96 x 6 = 576cars
Solution
By installing a Robot-Park™ System …
- More cars are accommodated on the same plot of land.
- Same number of cars can be accommodated in less than half the space.
Problem
- Valuable commercial space is taken up by parking;
- Inefficient space utilization;
- Vehicle theft, damage and vandalism;
- Driver security within the parking garage;
- Difficult to find one’s car.
Comparison
- 700 cars require a floor space of 25,000m²
- 950 cars are parked in a floor space of only 15,000m²
- Robot-Park™=950 cars (15,000m²)
Conventional=700 cars (25,000m²)
=250 cars
- 700 + an additional 250 cars are parked in a smaller space within the building.
- PLUS
- An additional 10,000m² is available for commercial use by tenants.
Solution
By installing a Robot-Park™ Automated Parking System …
- More cars are accommodated in a smaller space leaving additional space for commercial use;
- Vehicle theft and vandalism are no longer an issue and driver security is assured.
Problem – Conventional Underground Parking
- Requires extensive excavation, resulting in higher construction costs and lengthy construction periods;
- Construction affects traffic flow causing traffic congestion;
- Inefficient as space cannot be fully utilized;
- Offices need to be provided for staff.
- Elevators, lighting, stairs, ramps, ventilation systems and fire prevention systems must be installed, dramatically increasing initial and running costs;
- Vehicles subjected to theft and vandalism;
- Driver security must be assured.
Comparison
- Required Surface Area : 4,200m² (8,400m² floor space) +250%;
- Capacity : 200 cars;
- Construction Cost : USD 50 million;
- Construction cost per car : USD 250,000 +316%.
*Note: The comparison is based on a downtown garage in Fukui City, Japan (population 270,000).
- Required Surface Area (Ø20m x 4) : 1,200㎡ 100％
- Capacity : 200 cars (50 cars x 4 systems)
- Construction cost : USD 12 million
- Construction cost per car : USD 60,000 100%
-
- Significantly reduced costs and greater project viability!
Solution
By installing a Robot-Park™ System …
- Construction costs decrease by ±75%. The required surface area decreases by ±65%;
- Construction times are significantly shorter and the smaller construction area has a minimal effect on traffic flow;
- The final parking operation is fully automated reducing the need for staff;
- Drivers do not access the underground parking area. Safety, theft or security are therefore not a concern;
- The system is compact (one Ø18m parking tower accommodates 60 cars), making it ideal for areas where space is limited.
