Advantages of a Round Automated Robot-Park™ Parking System

Round Automated Parking System

Space Saving & Profitability

1.Space Saving Comparison : Conventional vs. Robot-Park™ Parking Systems

Problem

  • Lack of parking space
  • Inefficient use of available space.

Comparison

Conventional
Conventional
  • Space required for 500 cars
  •  
  •  
  •  
  • 60m x 80m = 4,800m²
Space Savings using Robot-Park™ Technology
Space Savings using Robot-Park™ Technology
  • Less space is required when implementing Robot-Park™ Round Automated Parking Technology
  • 36m x 54m = 1,944m²
  • 80 x 6 = 480cars
Space Savings using Robot-Park™ Technology
  • 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.

2.When Parking Within a Building : Conventional vs. Robot-Park™

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

Conventional Parking Garage
Conventional Parking Garage
  • 700 cars require a floor space of 25,000m²
By implementing Robot-Park™ Technology…
By implementing Robot-Park™ Technology…
  • 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
By implementing Robot-Park™ Technology…
  • 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.

3.Underground Parking : Conventional vs. Robot-Park™ Technology

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

Conventional Underground Parking Garage
Conventional Underground Parking Garage
  • 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).
When using Underground Robot-Park™ Technology
When using Underground Robot-Park™ Technology
  • 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.
