 ABSTRACT

This project is about an automatic underground car parking system for

residents. The aim of this research is to develop & implement an automatic
parking system that will increase convenience & security of residential parking
system. The automatic parking system will be able to have less interaction of
humans. The economy analysis technique will help in analyzing the project
feasibility. Thus an efficient, reliable & safe automatic underground parking
system will increase availability of space for car parking.

In metropolitan cities, vehicle parking has become a major concern

in all busy areas and a good traffic system needs a good parking system.
Different types of vehicle parking are applied worldwide namely Multi-level
Automated Car Parking, Automated Car Parking System, Volkswagen Car
Parking, etc.

The present project work is aimed to develop a reduced working model

of a car parking system for parking 6 to 24 cars within a parking area of 32.17
m². The chain and sprocket mechanism is used for driving the parking
platform.

This model will be further useful for different branches of engineering

in order to develop different types of automations like PLC, Micro controller
and computerization etc.

INTRODUCTION

We would like to introduce our project showing different types of parking as of

now which are widely used and the reasons why we had to make this choice from them.

1.1Available Parking Systems:

1.1.1. Integrated Car Parking Solution:

Fig.1: Integrated Car Parking Solution

Page | 12
 - Providing total consulting such as demand forecasts, recommendation of a
desirable parking system, design and safety measurements

- Customized application suitable for various types of landscapes and buildings

- Structures available below or / and above the ground

- Reducing management cost through precise control and low power consumption

- User's easy control by soft touch on the operation panel screen

- Simultaneous vertical and horizontal movement for short waiting periods

- When a vehicle stops in front of the entrance, automatically door opens and trolley

Transfers the vehicle to parking cell

- Very safe for the driver with no need to stay in the car

- Good for underground parking lot

1.1.2. Robot Car Parking:

Dubai‟s car park Capable of handling 765 vehicles, it is the first of several large-
scale robotic car parks being built to address parking problems in the UAE. All the
customer sees is a parking garage with space for one car, though the „floor‟ is platform
which rides on the top of a robotic trolley. When the customer leaves the vehicle and
collects a ticket, the wall of the garage drops away and the car is whisked to an elevator,
which in turn takes the car to another trolley. From there, the machine parks the car in the
dark depths of the structure. In total, the process takes around three minutes.

With this technology, you don‟t need to drive through the garage to find a parking
space. You simply drive your car to an entry station and leave your car to be picked up by
the computerized lifts that will safely place it inside the building on a shelving system.
When you leave, you return to a central point and your car is swiftly retrieved for you.

Page | 13
 Fig.2: Robot Car Parking System (Dubai)

This robotic car park will be especially convenient for the office tenants, parking or
retrieval can be completed in less than 160 seconds. It is safe and secure and obviously
doesn‟t expose expensive paint work to the abrasive elements during lengthy office hours.

1.1.3 Multi Level Parking:

The term "robotic parking garage" is a bit misleading, since it's not like a humanoid
robot straight out of The Jetsons will be taking your car keys (and demanding a bigger tip).
There is a human attendant to handle the financial transactions and explain the system to
any clients, but the garage itself does the parking. The driver will pull the car onto a
computer- controlled pallet, turn it off, and get out. The pallet is then lowered into the abyss
of parking spaces, much like a freight elevator for cars, except it can also move sideways,
not just up and down. There's an array of laser sensors that let the system know if the car
doesn't fit on the pallet (although it's big enough to fit a mid-sized SUV), and also detects
movement to make sure the driver and any passengers have left the car before the pallet
begins to move.

Page | 14
 Fig.3: Multi-Level Parking(1)

The system retrieves the car when the driver returns, although this might take some
time and creative maneuvering. Cars are parked two deep in some spots, so a specially
tailored software system has to figure out the logistics of shuffling the various vehicles
around as needed to retrieve a specific car. And for those, like me, who find it difficult to
turn their vehicle around after pulling out of a space, there's an underground turntable that
turns the car around before it is lifted to the surface, so the car is facing out into the
driveway, ready to go. Backing out of garages or parking spaces is one of the most
common causes of accidents.

Page | 15
Multi-level Automated Car Parking:

Fig.4: Multi-Level Parking(2)

A multi-level car parking is essentially a building with number of floors or layers for
the cars to be parked. The different levels are accessed through interior or exterior ramps.
An automated car parking has mechanized lifts which transport the car to the different
levels. Therefore, these car parks need less building volume and less ground space and thus
save on the cost of the building. It also does away the need for employing too many
personal to monitor the place.

In an automated multi-level car parking, the cars are left at the entrance and are
further transported inside the building by robot trolley. Similarly, they are retrieved by the
trolley and placed at the exit for the owner to drive away.

 Multi-level automated car parking at Sarojini Nagar and Baba Kharag
Singh Marg:

The Sarojini Nagar parking will be of eight floors with the ground and the first
reserved for shopping/ commercial complex and the rest dedicated for parking.
It will have a parking capacity for 824 vehicles. The project was scheduled to be
completed by June 2010 before the Commonwealth Games.

These automated parking‟s will have car lifts, pallets, computerized control
systems etc. that will be operational round the clock.

Both the parking‟s will have a basement level for the entry of cars from where
they will be taken up by car lifts as well as for the other mechanical services.

Rotary Car Parking System

1.2.1. Why Rotary Car Parking System:

This Unique Automated Mechanical Parking is designed to permit up to a

maximum of 12 cars or 10 SUV's to be parked easily and safely, on the surface area
required to park 2 cars.

It is simple to operate with the driver parking and leaving the vehicle in the system
at the ground level. Once the driver leaves the incorporated safety zone the vehicle is
automatically parked by the system rotating to lift the parked car away from the bottom
central position. This leaves an empty parking space available at the ground level for the
next car to be parked on.

The parked car is easily retrieved by pushing the button for the relevant position
number the car is parked on. This causes the required car to rotate down to ground level
ready for the driver to enter the safety zone and reverse the car out of the system.

Except Rotary Parking System all other systems use a large ground area, Rotary
Parking System is developed to utilize maximum vertical area in the available minimum
ground area. It is quite successful when installed in busy areas which are well established
and are suffering with shortage of area for parking.

Although the available designs are made on the ground level, the challenge in front
of us is to make the same design for the underground to utilize the maximum benefit of the
parking space availability below the ground level.

Page | 20
1.2.2. Working Principle:

There is one pallet for each parking space; all pallets could rotate in clockwise or

counterclockwise direction to the ground floor according to the parking or retrieval order

(from the control panel). Each pallet is marked with one number; driver can easily park or

retrieve the car simply by pressing the button of the pallet number on the control panel.

Full automatic operation.[1]

 The vertical rotary parking system having such a structure operates as follows. First,

as shown in Figure, a vehicle is loaded on a hanger that is located adjacent to the ground, and

the driving motor is driven. As shown in Figure, the power of the driving motor passes

through the motor sprocket and the driving sprocket and rotates the driving shaft . At this

time, the annular rotating body is rotated with respect to the annular fixing body by a rotation

of the pinion . When the hanger support plate of the suspension chain enters on a path along

which the pull blocks and rotate, the end of one of the pull blocks and enters between the

dogs and of the hanger support and attached to them. Hence, when the annular rotating body

rotates, the suspension chain circulates in the direction of the rotation of the annular rotating

body. As described above, the suspension chain is circulated by the pulling of the pull blocks

and, and when the hanger support plate departs from the path along which the pull blocks and

rotates, the pull blocks or is detached from the dogs and of the hanger support plate. At this

time, the other pull block or pull another hanger support plate. In this way, the suspension

chain continuously circulates. While the suspension chain is circulating, the roller of the

suspension chain is guided to the guide ribs of the chain guide rollers and so that stable

circulation can be achieved. [2]

OBJECTIVES

Although the available design is made on the ground level, the challenge in front of
us is to make the same design for the underground to utilize the maximum benefit of the
parking space availability below the ground level.

Thus the same design is supposed to be made underground and it can be made for 8-
16 total cars. As we don't have the adequate resources to make it for more number of cars,
we will be trying to make the same system for 6 cars.

While considering the same design for the underground manner the main challenge
in front of us is studying the structure of the same system.

The design which is available for above the ground level has the entrance of the
cars from the bottom of the system.

But while designing for underground system the entrance of the cars will be from
the top of the system.

Existing design has the supporting structure in which the space for the entrance is
provided at the bottom level.

The space provided for entrance is usually having the shape such as inverted "V" or
as inverted "U" at the bottom of the system.

Page | 32
 In addition to that the supporting structure has the straight vertical beams at the
upper region of the shapes mentioned above.

So while designing for underground manner, the supporting structure provided in

existing design will be the main barrier that we'll have to deal with.

The main reason behind it is the straight beams provided in supporting structure as
it will interrupt the entrance in the underground manner.

Thus to provide the required space for car entrance, we'll have to modify the
supporting structure too which is provided in the existing system.

Hence we will be providing the required space for the entrance while the system is
designed for underground manner with the modifications required in system and structure.

Specifying our progress, we already have completed the geometric modeling with
the required platform assembly, which is the replica of existing platform assembly.

In addition to that we will be manufacturing the parts very soon and completing the
required assembly soon.

Along with that we will be working on the modifications in the structure for the
required entrance and supporting functions with the required analysis of the designed
platform wherever needed.

SUMMARY , ADVANTAGES AND FUTURE SCOPE

4.1
Summary

 We have performed the static analysis of the designed platform as shown in the
previous chapter.

 Here, we have performed the static analysis of the designed platform under the
load of 15.7kN.

 The result shows that our designed platform is safe under the load of 15.7kN.

 Thus we can say that the design will be safe for max load up to 15.7kN which
approximately 1.6 tones or 1600 kg.

 Therefore our designed platform withstand and will be safe for the vehicle
having mass of 1600 kg without any fail.

 And so for any vehicle except heavy SUV and having mass under the given load,
the design will be applicable.

 Here we have performed the analysis as per the Von Mises stress theory, as per
the Displacement magnitude under the given load, as per the Maximum
Principle Stress and for the Meshing results along with the required charts
.
 As because of the lack of the time and sources we somehow could not manage to
design the whole structure and the analysis of the same.

 Though we have managed to develop the prototype of the rotary car parking
system as shown in the snapshots of the prototype.

Page | 62
 4.2
Advantages & Benefits

 Quick Automated Parking and retrieval of vehicles.

 Up to 12 cars or 10 SUV's can be easily and safely parked.

 Surface space required equivalent to just 2 surface car parking spaces.

 Most suitable for Staff or dedicated user parking.

 Engineered to ensure Driver safety by use of an electronic Safety zone.

 Low maintenance levels required by the system.

 Does not require a parking attendant.

 Easily constructed in a small area, just requiring a simple concrete base and

3 phase electricity.

 This system is cost effective when extra land for surface parking is not
available.

 Rotary parking is extremely reliable and has been well tried and tested

with many reference sites available.

 It can be built-in turntable in the system.

 Imagine the time that automatic smart parking systems would save you.
Every time you enter your office building you have to find a parking space and
spend time walking in and out of the lot as well. Imagine how much time it is
costing you. Even if you just spend 5 minutes a day to park that translates to you
spending more than a whole day just parking every year. If you calculate the time
you spend walking in and out of the parking lot, searching for space and such it will
be easily more than the above amount.

A fully automated system mimics a futuristic assembly line structure

where the cars are moved to an empty platform. The platform under the car moves
to a designated spot and all the other platforms are arranged so that no cars are
stuck. You are able to keep track of the entire structure and spend virtually no
time driving the car in the parking you. You simply drop off the car at the
entrance and pick up on your way out.

Aside from the comfort that the

automation brings you can also save space
through incorporating the park lift system as well.
Through this we are able to utilize the vertical
space in a parking lot that is usually wasted. You
are also able to customize each stack parker so
that you can fit different sized cars in each of the
different slots. It would be meaningless to have
all stack parkers adjusted to the height of a SUV
when you can have different sets where you can
park 2 SUVs or 3 regular sedans.

Scope Of Future Works

 This automated car parking system can be installed with safety installations
such as, whenever there is human movement in the system, the rotation of the
platforms should be immediately stopped.

 The platforms can also be equipped with safety sensors guiding the movement
of vehicles in the platforms.

 It can be fully automated by integrating it with a panel board, such that

whenever a particular number is called on the panel board, the respective
platform should appear at the ground level.

 As it not completely possible to design the whole parking system with the
structure containing the column in actually we'll try to make the best of the
replica of the model.

 This calling can also be made more secured by providing each platform a
specific password, so that only whenever a particular password is typed the
platform is retrieved.

 It can also be programmed, so that the platforms travel the minimum

distance in the retrieval of the vehicle.
