Comprehensive study of parking houses for smart cities

This article discusses the results of a comprehensive study of a new generation of parking houses. First of all, the basic components of a new generation of automatic parking system (APS) in line with the Industry 4.0 concept are described, where automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and a lift system can be used to park pallet loaded cars. The APS is equipped with a hybrid power supply using renewable energy sources support and storage, including a system for self-charging electric vehicles. The building structure will be designed to allow for the elimination of dust particles and additional stormwater management. Functionality has been tested on a scale model of approximately 1:10 to minimise operational times, particularly for vehicle parking.
