Mechanical Parking System Logistics

As the number of motor vehicles increases rapidly in many populated countries, t he shortage of parking space has become a difficult problem to all cities around the world. The contradiction between the shortage of parking space and the incr easing number of motor vehicles is still growing in the recent years. The utiliz ation of various kinds of mechanical parking facilities is an effective solution to this problem. How to organize a reasonable logistics system in a mechanical parking lot so that as many parking positions as possible can be constructed wit hin a limited space at the lowest cost is a long challenging subject for enginee ring designers. Obviously, it is of great value to approach this subject theoret ically and systematically. Based on the study of the development of different me chanical parking facilities, the features, definitions, classifications and eval uation indexes of mechanical parking logistics systems are discussed in this pap er. The static and dynamic characteristics of different systems are also analyze d.
