February 2, people drove up to the parking lot, and then the key to the computer system to complete the next stop is put to work the scene even now it still look like James - Bond movie sci-fi plot, But Germany Dusseldorf International Airport using the latest automatic parking system seems to have been sufficient to meet all the needs of people for airport parking.
It is reported that the automatic parking system used Dusseldorf International Airport called "RAY", belonging to a part of the company introduced the latest Serva Serva Transport system, the system without human intervention by a mechanical device that can be up to three tons of car move to the designated parking spaces.
Target user "RAY" automatic parking system are those busy business people eager to take the flight to the airport, and has developed a corresponding application for remote control. In the specific use, the user needs to do is open the vehicle to the designated area, and then went to confirm that no personnel and important items inside the car near the touch screen, the next job will be to "RAY" to complete. Some specific terms, "RAY" through measurements of the many self-powered sensor scans the vehicle and its pictures, and then scan the system will automatically determine the car's wheelbase and overall length, automatically adjusts the size of the truck, put the car lift one into his own 249 parking spaces
are more intimate, "RAY" also with the number of flights the airport is connected to the database, which can return before the passenger car ready. Users can even advance notice of its own on the next plane to go to take the luggage and then take the car if travel plans change, then the user can also use the appropriate application notice "RAY".
"RAY" the developers said that their system will not only be able to significantly save user downtime, but also can greatly improve the utilization of parking space, because "RAY" will not only measure the length and breadth of the vehicle, but also The footprint calculation mirrors and fender parts, including those such as, so the system can be more than human drivers use to 60 percent of the parking space.
However, this system can be parking fee is not so cheap. Germany Dusseldorf International Airport revealed that the system hourly fee of $ 5.5 a day parking fee for $ 40, the main target customers are those who often need to catch a plane for business users.
"We have this service for business travelers who are very attractive, these customers usually take off in flight arrived at the airport shortly before the rush and want to park the car in a short time, and then come back in a few days quickly pick up the car." Dusseldorf International Airport chairman Thomas - Shinaierke (Thomas Schnalke) said.
At the same time, "RAY" developers said they have in the last month with the German Volkswagen Group reached a cooperation agreement, they hope to make the vehicle and "RAY" Parking the robot to start the means of communication to further enhance the system stop, pick up the car efficiency.
In this regard, Serva Transport chairman Ruben special - Cook (Rupert Kock), said: "We and the Volkswagen Group jointly developed technology will allow Volkswagen brand vehicles RAY and automatic exchange of data via Bluetooth, and further improve the way through the parking efficiency. "
American competitors
should be noted that, Serva is not currently available only company intends to make waves in the field of automatic parking companies, headquartered in New Jersey, because startups Boomerang also want without having to rely on human intervention robot to complete the work of hundreds of cars parking.
It is reported that, Boomerang developed automated parking system can be like playing in the parking lot, like Rubik's Cube adjustment, moving vehicles, the user needs to do is open the vehicle to the specified metal tray, then Boomerang device automatically inserted into the tray of the vehicle chassis lifted two inches under the vehicle, then the vehicle is moved to the appropriate parking. Also, the parking area of the system with almost no lighting and ventilation facilities, so you can save a lot of energy costs and space costs for the consumer.
"In the space of the same size, the number of vehicles we are twice the normal place of parking. For real estate developers, the savings is equal to the area of additional income, real estate developers are now able to rent or sell space saved a. Moreover, since the vehicle without the need for human movement in the parking lot, so the consumer can save a lot of manpower expenses and the cost of ventilation (air tradition usually requires the use of a car park full ventilation equipment 7-8 times per hour) . By the same token, we do not need a lot of parking system in the presence of light, because the robot can not control whether or not parking lights on in order to work, "the company's CEO Mark - Patterson (Mark Patterson) said.
Moreover, another major advantage of this system is that it will not issue a node Ben collapse caused the entire parking system because Boomerang pick up the car parking system with multiple channels, automatic metal tray and manipulator, so even if one Failure can not be used because the owner of the car will not delay the time.
"Even where there is a link there is a problem, and we are still able to operate the system properly." Patterson, said.
In addition, Patterson also said the Boomerang system will normally be installed in the use of the concrete structure of the building, so even if a layer of fire in the car park does not hurt the other floors, but not the traditional three-dimensional garage have this advantage.
Although Boomerang company has yet profitable, but it is understood that the company has signed a cooperation agreement with the 4250 Parking expected future gross turnover will reach $ 51.5 million.
