Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vertical parking systems, particularly direct access models, inefficiently utilize space as they allocate a significant area for vehicle movement systems rather than storage, while indirect access systems prioritize volumetric occupation but require complex mechanisms and increased operational time.
Innovation Solution
A multiple-level vehicle parking system comprising a parking box, a supporting base structure with locks, and a lifting system that allows vertical movement of boxes, enabling storage at different levels relative to the ground, optimizing space use and simplifying vehicle movement management.

1Productivity
If direct access vertical parking systems are used, then vehicle access efficiency is improved, but space utilization deteriorates due to significant area allocated to movement systems
Solution Approach 1:
The parking system is segmented into independent modular units that can be stacked vertically. Each module contains parking spots and local movement capabilities, separating the horizontal access function from the vertical storage function. This allows efficient vehicle access within each module while minimizing the overall footprint dedicated to movement systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a purely horizontal parking layout to a three-dimensional stacked configuration. By utilizing the vertical dimension through multiple stacked levels, the system achieves high space utilization while maintaining efficient access through localized horizontal movement within each level and vertical transport between levels.
2Volume of stationary object
If indirect access vertical parking systems are used, then volumetric occupation rate is improved, but operational complexity increases due to complex mechanisms and increased operational time
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic reconfigurable pathways within each modular unit, allowing vehicles to access any parking spot within the module through adaptable routing. This dynamic approach simplifies the overall mechanism by using standardized modular components rather than complex fixed-path mechanisms, reducing operational time while maintaining high volumetric occupation.
3Area of stationary object
If traditional vertical parking systems are used, then space optimization is pursued, but adaptability deteriorates due to static building structures
Solution Approach 1:
The parking system is divided into independent modular units that can be stacked in various configurations. This segmentation enables flexible adaptation to different site requirements, capacity needs, and urban contexts while maintaining optimized space utilization through vertical stacking. The modular nature allows the system to be expanded, contracted, or reconfigured as needs change.
