Types of automated parking systems

• Puzzle Parking: Cars are arranged in a grid with horizontal and vertical movement (like a sliding puzzle) to find spots.
• Tower Parking: A central lift moves cars up and down to different floors, storing them in bays.
• Stack Parking: Uses hydraulic or electric motors to stack cars, often with a platform that moves cars up to create space underneath.
• Rotary Parking: A turntable system rotates to position cars for parking or retrieval.
• Pit Systems: Utilizes underground space, moving cars into pits for parking.

Key benefits

• Space saving: Can fit significantly more cars in the same footprint, reducing land use.
• Time saving: Eliminates time spent searching for spots.
• Enhanced security: Cars are stored out of sight, reducing theft and vandalism.
• Reduced congestion: Less circling for parking helps ease traffic.
• Accessibility: Convenient for people with disabilities, as they don't need to navigate complex areas.
