Each car driver knows the problem: if you’re lucky enough not to get stuck in the traffic, you’ll be able to travel pretty quickly on the streets. As soon as you’re looking for a parking lot in the city, you’ll be in trouble. Often times, you won’t find a parking lot anywhere near shopping centers or important sights. The ES Magazine presents innovative parking possibilities to bring relief to the restricted parking spaces.
Skyline Parking
This Swiss business specializes in producing fully automatic parking garages. With a highly customizable concept, you can save up to 50% of space. Potentially, you can park double the cars of a traditional car park. The tedious process of parking can be avoided as well: you can drive your car on a flat conveyor in the entrance area, where your vehicle is scanned. After this, you can leave your car and watch it being transported to a parking space of fitting height and length. Is this the parking of the future?
Serva Transport Systems
Fully automated parking finds its way to Germany as well. At the airport Dusseldorf, the parking robot «Ray» provides a unique service: passengers can drive their car into the parking garage and go straight to the check-in counter. The vehicle is scanned and then carefully lifted by the robot, maneuvering it into a fitting parking spot. This system doesn’t save much space but it relieves the often stressful day of the passengers a bit. If you land again in Dusseldorf, you can notify Ray via your smartphone to get your car out of the parking spot in time. Pure parking luxury!
Cardok
Of course, the own vehicle has to be stored in style at home as well. The Swiss business Cardok is specialized in home solutions. With the Cardok Multi, you can store one car below ground and a second one above, a simple way of saving half the space. Cardok also offers car lifts to your underground parking and other, individual solutions. Parking and space problems definitely seem to be a thing of the past!
