Automated Parking Design Considerations- Part 1
At Utron we believe in educated decisions! When designing an Automated Parking Solution multiple considerations come into play, ranging from capacity and performance, through functionality, and the user experience.
In this series of newsletters, we will review the design considerations on the path to a successful automated parking system design.
Things to Consider in Designing a Parking System
Parking capacity
- Vehicle dimensions
- Overall parking capacity –Should it all be automated?
Automated Parking System performance
- What is system performance and how is it measured?
- Typical performance requirements for different uses (such as residential, office, mixed-use, etc.)
Street access and entry/exit level design
- Entry/Exit level
Minimizing the impact of parking on prime real-estate.
Designing entry/exit rooms and waiting area for safety, security and ADA compliance.
Climate and wind considerations
Access - Queuing
Turning radius
Building flow – Separation of vehicular traffic from pedestrian traffic
Back of the house – how to combine parking with other building operations - The robotic parking vault – how to design the most efficient structure
Analysis of North American vehicle dimensions
Vehicle distribution – geographical and specific location of the project
Smaller volume Vs. performance flexibility
Fitting the right Autonomous Parking System to the development needs
