Automated Parking: Status in the United States Avantages and Criteria

Richard S. Beebe

During the past decade the constant demand for parking, especially in large urban centers, created a new U.S. interest in these high technology foreign systems—automated, computer-based systems that added speed, reliability and safety to the basic garage types invented fifty years earlier. European and Asian manufacturers have begun to market their systems and establish offices in the U.S. Several U.S. firms also have entered the marketplace and created greater local interest in Automated Parking. System manufacturers or marketers now include such names as TREVI, Klaus, Krups, Wohr, Robotic, APS, HK Systems, Stokes, Auto Space, Sky Parking America and others. Some 100 of these projects are now in the planning stage.
