TOP 5 Automated Parking Systems Utilizing AGV Technology in the World

Have you ever dreamed of an automated parking garage where your car can automatically find a spot and park safely and quickly? That once far-fetched dream has now become reality with the advent of automated parking systems integrated with AGVs. Not only does this technology bring convenience to users, but it also contributes to reducing traffic congestion and protecting the environment. Let’s explore the top 5 automated parking systems equipped with AGV robots that are both “modern and eco-friendly”!

What is an AGV-integrated automated parking garage?

AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is an automated robot or vehicle. AGVs operate through intelligent sensors and positioning systems, enabling them to autonomously navigate and transport objects of various weights without human intervention.An AGV-integrated automated parking system is a parking facility equipped with self-driving AGV robots. These robots handle all parking and retrieval tasks, moving vehicles within the system completely autonomously. This significantly reduces waiting times for users and enhances overall convenience.

Automated Parking Projects Utilizing AGV Vehicles

Chongqing Smart Parking Garage

Located on Lianjiang Road, Chongqing, China – a key area in Chongqing’s urban development. XIZI won the bid to construct a six-story smart parking system with a capacity of over 1,000 parking spaces. One of the most notable features of this parking system is its focus on building a zero-carbon parking system, aligning with the city’s sustainable development plan emphasizing “advanced technology, energy efficiency, and environmental protection”.

The unique feature of this parking system is the combination of a vertical lift parking system (PPY) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Customers simply need to operate the parking and retrieval process through a control panel. The system is also equipped with a big data management system, a multi-point payment system, allowing customers to pay flexibly before or after parking.

Smart Parking System at Tianjin Hospital

This is the largest private hospital parking lot in the region, with a capacity of up to 2000 parking spaces. The system consists of 8 smaller parking lots, with a total of 16 entrances distributed throughout different areas of the hospital, making it easy for users to enter and exit the parking area. The Tianjin Hospital has installed a smart vertical lift parking system (PPY) integrated with intelligent AGV robots. Unlike traditional parking lots, the hospital chose to install this system due to its advantages:

Unlike traditional parking lots, the hospital chose to install this system due to its advantages:

• No parking tickets or cards required: The system automatically recognizes vehicle information and guides parking.
• Automated parking: Vehicles park themselves, and drivers can exit the garage. The system automatically completes the parking process after confirming that no one is inside the vehicle.
• Convenient vehicle retrieval: Drivers simply need to operate the control panel and wait 1-5 minutes for their vehicle to be retrieved automatically. Then, the driver exits the garage, completing the process.
• Intelligent parking fee management system: Allows users to make flexible payments in various ways, providing greater peace of mind.
• Professional maintenance: Professional maintenance services from a world-leading parking system company.”

Automated Parking System at Xixiang Disease Control and Prevention Center

The Xixiang Disease Control and Prevention Center is located in a new urban area. Situated in a densely populated district, the project site frequently experiences parking congestion and a shortage of parking spaces. Even before the project was built, the local area already faced a parking shortage, leading to the development of unauthorized parking structures that detracted from the urban aesthetic.

To comprehensively address these parking challenges and other issues, the center decided to install an automated parking system with AGV robots to minimize human intervention.

Given the limited construction area of the building, the decision was made to locate the parking facility in the basement. This not only maximizes land use but also complements the building’s overall appearance.

The AGV robots used in the project are the most common, useful, and convenient type. You can watch the video below for a better understanding.

There is no need to use a card when entering the parking lot. The intelligent parking management system can automatically allocate a storage location based on vehicle information. After the driver parks and exits the garage, the system will automatically run after the door closes and there are no people around. The vehicle retrieval process is similar.

Automated Parking System at the International Architecture Exhibition Building

Located in the prestigious Five Avenues Scenic Area of Tianjin, this building is a historic landmark of modern China, bearing witness to a century of the country’s ups and downs.

In recent years, Tianjin has been actively developing its cultural tourism resources. Therefore, optimizing services, especially transportation services, is essential. As a result, the city has decided to build automated parking systems to expand parking space and enhance the visitor experience.

For this project, XIZI iParking has conducted research and found the most suitable solutions, such as:

• Vertical lift parking system (PPY)
• 360-degree rotation technology
• Automatic vehicle recognition and positioning
• AGV robots to assist customers with parking and retrieval for a faster and more convenient experience. 

Through these technologies, the system maximizes parking space efficiency and enhances the overall visitor experience

Automated Parking System at Dai Hoa Hotel

Nestled beside the beautiful West Lake in the heart of Hangzhou, Dai Hoa Hotel is a classic garden-style hotel with comfortable rooms that harmonize with the surrounding mountains and waters. 

Given its prime location in a densely populated area, the hotel receives a significant number of visitors each year. To accommodate the influx of guests for the Hangzhou 2022 Olympics, the hotel has decided to upgrade its parking system to an automated one, replacing the traditional parking lot. The project also incorporates self-driving AGV technology to ensure fast and efficient parking, meeting the parking needs of both tourists and locals.

With its advantages of saving time, optimizing space, protecting the environment, and enhancing user experience, the automated parking system integrated with AGV robots is not only a solution to urban parking problems but also a significant step towards building smart and sustainable cities.
