Cars are vital to daily living as they take us to the different places where we need to go. However, they also pose several challenges such as having to find free parking spaces at your destinations and ensuring their safety while you’re away. You also need to deal with the high demand for these spaces with so many other drivers out there. Manual parking is a broken system that is begging for a replacement. An automated parking garage does require a high initial investment but it is ultimately a better solution. If more of these could be built, then motorists can benefit from the following:

Faster and Better Service

A garage that could accept vehicles as they come and park each one in their designated place will be able to serve more people per unit time. The faster service will be most welcome as nobody wants to waste their time waiting for their turn to enter a parking lot or driving around and around just to seek out an empty slot. In this new scenario, sensors will detect where the vacant slots are and make sure that incoming vehicles get there via the shortest route. A series of elevators and conveyor belts will take care of everything.

Lower Labor Cost

Since machines will be in-charge of the operation, you won’t need a lot of people to man the automated parking garage. Everything will move like clockwork once the car gets on the platform. There might be staff at the point of entry to assist those who are unfamiliar with the service but that’s really it. No one will be entering the garage except perhaps technicians for maintenance and repairs from time to time. There is no need to maintain strong lighting across the structure. HVAC systems and other comforts are also not as important as they would be if people were there inside.

More Safe and Secure Solution

Since there won’t be any people entering, car owners won’t have to worry about leaving their belongings inside. They can simply let these stay there since they can be confident about their vehicles being untouched while they are away. There are also security cameras inside and other sensors for monitoring interior activities. Everything will be well-guarded. With the machines delivering the cars to their parking spaces, there will also be no risk of collisions with other drivers inside the garage. This is something that is all too common in the current setup given tight spaces and human errors.
