5 Benefits of Automated Parking Over Conventional Parking

Imagine 20 cars parked in the space for 2! 

Yes, that is a real possibility. And many residential and commercial buildings are already doing that using automated parking systems to save space, time and money

With increasing vehicle traffic in the city, a lack of parking space is a common problem. And most cars are parked for 23 hours on average, so valuable urban land is occupied by stationary vehicles rather than being used for more active, people-centric functions.

Conventional parking wastes space through ramps and driveways, leading to inefficient space management. Automated parking systems address this by replacing horizontal movement with vertical and mechanical stacking and increasing the parking capacity of your basement by 60%.

There are various benefits of integrating these new-age automated parking systems over conventional parking layouts.

Advantages of Automated Parking

  • Space Saving: Automated systems place vehicles inside vertical or mechanical storage frames. This removes the need for large ramps and broad driveways. The saved area becomes useful for homes, shops, or service spaces.
  • Cost Saving: Mechanical and hydraulic parking setups need less pit depth. This reduces digging and foundation expenses. Fewer moving parts also help keep long-term maintenance costs lower than those of regular parking buildings.
  • Time Saving: Drivers do not roam around looking for empty spots, creating overall dissatisfaction with the property experience. The system parks and brings back vehicles fast through automated steps, which keeps movement smooth inside the property.
  • Enhanced Security: Controlled access limits theft, damage, and driver errors. Once a vehicle enters the system, no human intervention occurs.
  • Minimal Structural Changes: Automated parking fits into existing building plans without heavy changes. Most systems come in modular units that are easy to adjust, remove, or resize, thereby avoiding the need to buy extra land or break down structures.

Where Automated Parking Is Most Useful

Automated parking systems work best for:

  • City locations with very little open land
  • Public spaces and commercial complexes like malls, hospitals, and offices with heavy daily movement
  • Apartment buildings and mixed-used projects
  • Properties that want smart, premium parking without increasing plot size

 Automated parking eliminates the growing issues of land scarcity and the increasing number of vehicles. It provides a viable and effective alternative to traditional parking systems by expanding the parking space within the same area.
