The most advance automated garage in the world. Welcome to automated parking. Here a car is parked by a computerized system. APT PARKING is the sole creator of this video.
I am a customer there. The system had a ton of problems in the past. Everything from mechanical failures to software issues. The software was written by graduates fresh off uni who sat in the technician's cabinet for months trying to work the kinks out of the system, and even then there were tons of issues like the garage simply claiming that your car was not parked there. It was apparent the developers just lacked the experience to work on a complex realtime system with so many moving and interlocked parts. The maintenance technicians also had years of nightmares there. One technician had a platform start to move and hit his head, he went to the hospital and then came back with a bandaged head to finish the work (!). But most importantly, the system is so mechanically complex that it is very prone to failure. Box 2 has been out of service for half a year now (May 2014 at the time of writing) and is just being used as tire storage for the owner. And if the system is not at fault, the other drivers will make sure that you will be stuck for hours there by not correctly parking their car, just giving up and leaving the car in the box (!) - as if to say "let someone else sort out my messy driving". And if that all works by miracle some other guy forgets to engage the parking brake, causing his car to roll off the platform underground, and grinding the whole system to a standstill. This is the Windows Vista of parking garages. Kudos to the maintenance technicians to eventually got it running reasonably well, but shame on the developers of that whole thing.
if what you say is real, it's interesting how they're trying to see their skills here. XD
mlsi Well we are no longer customers there. We're now in a regular garage and though that takes up more space overall, it's such a difference knowing you can just go and retrieve your car at any time. And not having to fear that you might not get your car because the garage is broken.
Muy buen sistema.
Jeez parking is expensive enough already. I've paid up to 40 dollars for a few hours of parking here in Toronto; I can't image how much more expensive that system is.
Awesome.
@mysongbook - LOL, yes! These are brilliant! The city of The Hague, Netherlands is building one now in the city center - under an existing canal. An innovative solution to a dispute over parking space versus green space in the city core.
@porschefan102 I had the same thought, most cars have tilt sensors to detect movement... But then again the movements dont seem much more than a car being buffeted by a gust of wind. A good test, go rock a more modern car roughly see if it goes off? My only question.. what if you just needed to grab something out of your car? thats a lot of effort!
Enough said! :) Its still bad ass nevertheless!
I once thought I had invented this method of parking based on the Numbers game in a square you got as a child sixteen spaces and fifteen squares you shuffled them round till they where in order! The thing about this today is you could phone when you are on your way to collect your car and it could be bought down towards the front so you only have a few minutes to wait?
yeah. Except when its out of service, you're stranded
finally an end to those times of endlessly circling around the block hoping to find a spot
we have something better in Miami and because of how much more space can be utilized when parking cars with a system like that (no need to open doors, driveways, room to walk etc) it's actually about the average price, the trick is that were it used to park 40 cars, now it parks about 150... maybe 200, depending on the project.
Wonder how long it takes to get your car back :T
OH shit ! I forgot to take something out of my car :o 1 hour later... The car arrives
that awkward moment when you lose your ticket.
That guy reminds me of the vocalist of Keane
cool! :)
hello it is amazing .but it is still a problem in africa to get to those .so, we are asking you to grant us trainings in your powerful garages , we, as automotive mechanicians.
The machines are taking over O.o
I wonder if the car alarms will be triggered by movement. I know the newer vehicles detect if the car is moving (for either rim stealing, or being towed etc).
One annoying bug they have not yet managed to tackle: Somehow somewhere in the process the roof of your car seems to get chopped off...
cool, where is this any way?
i wonder how long it takes to get your car when it breaks down?
If they did this in the US they would have to make the platforms the car sits on bigger. It looked like a bit of a squeeze for the antique Mercedes, I can only imagine how tight it would be for a Chevy Suburban.
bahaha That's brilliant! :D
crazy
@mysongbook That would be funny but its computerized and the Pin Number that is on your card is the Parking spot where your car is...
Complexity is an engineer's worst enemy.
It needs a money swallowing function first.
@ISFKing hahah hey what if the phone doesnt have signal bars???
@xtremetop100videosXD It has sensors. The lift wouldn't even descend until the driver backs up.
Amazig, but my Ford F350 doesnt fit in there :(
Actually, that's Vienna, Austria. All of the cars have a Viennese license plate...
Oh woops I left something in the trunk. Let me go grab it. Oh wait...
in such a place the power never go off
wonder what would happen if the driver parks the car a bit more forward...
No, I would say Austria, because here in Germany, we´ve got other license plates.
So what would happen if you stayed in the car?
It does seem like overkill, it is essentially a multi story garage for people who are incapable of going up and down ramps. I don't think I would use it either, I'd be too scared that my car would be swapped with another lol
@3t3r0nYm0s That was in austria.
Next thing you know they will have vending machines you can buy cars from. That would suck if it ate your money, or got stuck haha
drawbacks: too much reliance on technology, no more waiting in the car while your girlfriend goes shopping.
So what happens if your car is stuck behind other cars
Parking of the future
Who needs Valet Parking anymore...
@michaeltenenbaum1 I think the biggest problem would be the cost. Would cost soo much money
what if the power goes out or the machines break down.
They all seems to forget to fold in there mirrors.
where is this and amzing probly in like japan or china
what if someone left their car in neutral and forgot the parking brake? ouch.
Fuck i forgot my wallet!
why don't we have this awesome parking system here in america?
It would be awesome if this was city wide, so you can drop your car off one place and walk around the city and then pick your car up at the nearest terminal or whatever you want to call it. Would be expensive though.
Kind of flimsy the platform used, isn't it? maybe that's why you choose to park a "light" car...
@mbunny076 I can't belive you are asking such a daft question, IT'S ALL COMPUTER CONTROLED, NOODEL, the computer simply moves the car in the way to a NEW parking bay, THEN moves the wanted car to the Pick-up point.
Why doesn't the united States have sweet car parking garages like this? Why is Germany (guessing from the language) and Japan ahead in car parking technology? o_o Awesome system!
Japan pioneered 'Thunderbirds' car-park 'weeks-ago' [decade-or-more]; why is this NOT the NORM? Abandoning on-street parking in-favour of automated-parking releases the inside-lane for busses & emergency-services [NOT-taxis], reduces criminal-damage & auto-theft; okay WILL create bottle-necks movie-theatre 'chucking-out', office start-&-end times... More benefits than drawbacks; personally, I would integrate 'latest-variant' with EVERY new building-development, tourist-attraction...
it would be funny if it washed your car in the same time!
as much as this thing probably cost I bet it wont start seeing profit for a whole 10 years
It needs a touchscreen
parking must be $1000 per hour lol
Why do people that drive convertibles lock their cars?
In a power out you won't be able to drive a car anyway because of the chaos in traffic.
What is you parked your Bugatti Veyron and came back to a Yugo. That would suck.
Backup UPS, obviously.
Why did he lock the doors when he can just jump inside
Nao fica uma fresta no chao, risco zero de acidentes.
wow ten years, I wonder why Japan is ahead in the world when it comes to technology and infrastructure. Thanks you all for your replies.
of the power electricity being blackout, haha all your car stuck there,
I really "like" the music in the background, that is supposed to make jelly from our brains? :-(
so adding more unnecessary platforms and moving parts makes it 'advanced'?
Power outage FTW.
Because Germany and Japan have nowhere to put giant parking lots. The US has plenty of room.
They can't put a R.R. Phantom EWB down their throat ...
1706 Rittenhouse in Philly has all this with Car recognition. Its even more hi-tech.
Chuck Norris Got One! :D
I need my car urgently!!!....oh right i have to wait about half hour to get my car-_-
How cool would it be if you went in to park your crappy Nissan and came back to a Bugatti Veyron :D
i would hide in the car and ride through
@syakujiidai I was wondering the same thing.. Sometimes the media is so stupid including this user who uploaded the video. I mean I saw this technology in Japan years ago and its probably still more advanced than this system shown here..
I highly doubt my 01' Dodge 2500 thats lifted 10 inches and has 38" tall tires would fit lolll....
id bet teenagers and such... if they could afford this they would have say 4 people in the car...one would park it and swipe the card and the rest would stay in the car for the ride... lol.
WHAT IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, anyone know?
Dj Shadow
@BoBoAAr0N: LOL!!! so fuckin true
Or maybe the owner parked it there along with all the other cars...
what happends in a power out lol
probobly very expensieve to park there!
make sure to use ur parking brake
back up generators
Your car is also less likely to get broken into.
The maintenance crews in japan and Germany are more educate the the people of the united states, the up keep on this kind of equipment would be extremely expensive because you would have to hire high trained people to do it, the good-ol-boys in this country have no were near the skills needed to keep this machine running.
question... what's the point of owning a car or even bother driving when they have all these chain drive and computer system so advance?? we can just relax on a couch and let them take us where we want to :D:D
if every thing do by machine then what for the human being.....just for handshake ??????lol........rust of money rust of technique.....it is just like a car puzzle....self choosing the place and just go for blank place put your car finish ..simple
i forgot to put the handbrake on it
Japanese have been using automated parking for years and were probably the first. There systems aren't as cool as the wohr pallet-less B19 3LS
Like we have the money, aha
علم الأنسان مالم يعلم
global Warning consumes too much electricity
if this machine breaks down ya fucked lol
@mysongbook Well, you'd be without your car and without the keys to said Bugatti. So.. you'd be fucked. Wouldn't be cool at all, maybe slightly for a few minutes, until you realize that your car is lost in the garage somewhere.
@3936seaz You have successfully typed the MOST confusing shit i have EVER read!
