In modern cities, parking capacity is limited and expensive. Parking systems offer an intelligent and efficient solution to this problem. The systems make it possible to park more vehicles in a smaller space and at the same time increase convenience and safety for users.

There are various types of parking systems that differ in terms of how they work and how they can be used. Manual parking systems, such as single parkers, double parkers and row parkers, are the simplest and most cost-effective option. Automatic parking systems, such as paternoster parkers, puzzle parkers and lift parkers, on the other hand, offer more convenience and space efficiency. Special parking systems, such as bicycle parking systems, car-sharing parking systems and parking systems for electric vehicles, address the specific needs of these user groups. stolzer is a supplier of semi-automatic and fully automatic parking systems.

Parking systems offer a wide range of advantages over conventional parking facilities:

Space efficiency: by making optimum use of the available space, parking systems can significantly increase the number of parking spaces.
Increased convenience: Automatic parking systems allow users to park and retrieve their vehicle conveniently.
Security: Parking systems have no hidden areas like conventional parking facilities. They are generally located directly at the main point of use with direct access to the property. Fright zones are a thing of the past.
Environmental protection: By making more efficient use of parking space, parking systems can help to reduce emissions and noise. Traffic searching for a parking space is significantly reduced.
Time saving: Users of parking systems save time as they do not have to search for their vehicle and walk out of the parking facility.

Parking systems are used in a variety of sectors, including

Residential buildings: parking systems in residential buildings provide ample parking space for residents and reduce on-street parking pressure.
Office buildings: Parking systems in office buildings can provide employees with convenient parking facilities and at the same time relieve the traffic situation in the surrounding area.
Shopping centers: Attractive employee parking through the use of parking systems to offer customers sufficient parking space and at the same time increase the attractiveness of the shopping center.
Hospitals: Hospitals need sufficient parking space for patients, visitors and staff. Parking systems can help to make efficient use of parking space and improve the traffic situation in front of the hospital.
Airports and train stations: Airports and train stations require large parking areas for short and long-term parkers. Parking systems can help to use parking space efficiently and make it easier for users to find their way around.
City centers: In city centers, parking systems can help to reduce parking pressure and improve the pedestrian experience.

The future of parking systems depends on digitalization and networking. Intelligent parking systems are able to optimize parking space usage in real time and provide users with individually customized information and services. In addition, parking systems can be combined with other mobility services such as car sharing and public transport to enable smooth and convenient mobility.

Parking systems are an important part of modern transportation infrastructure. They help to make cities future-proof and improve people's quality of life.

In times of growing urbanization and limited space, traditional multi-storey parking lots are increasingly reaching their limits. Modern parking systems offer an efficient and forward-looking alternative.

Reasons for the greater efficiency of parking systems:

Space optimization

More parking spaces: Parking systems enable a significantly higher parking space density in the same area compared to classic parking garages. Mechanical systems allow vehicles to be placed on top of or next to each other, making optimum use of space.
Smaller footprint: The construction of parking systems requires a smaller footprint than traditional parking garages, as the parking spaces can be arranged to save space.

Faster entry and exit

Automation: automatic entry and exit systems speed up the process considerably. Vehicles are brought to their allocated space by the system.
Less congestion: Automated control minimizes congestion and waiting times, which often occur in traditional parking lots.
Greater security:

Monitoring

stolzer parking systems are equipped with modern monitoring systems that provide a high level of security. Protection against damage: The risk of parking bumps is eliminated by automated handling by other users.

Environmentally friendly

Energy efficiency: modern stolzer parking systems are equipped with energy-efficient technologies, resulting in a lower environmental impact.
Lower emissions: Faster entries and exits and a reduced search for a parking space reduce emissions.

Flexibility

Adaptability: Parking systems can be adapted to different space conditions and requirements.
Future-proof: By integrating new technologies, parking systems can be continuously developed and adapted to new requirements.

Conclusion: Parking systems offer a number of advantages over traditional parking garages, particularly in terms of space efficiency, speed, safety and environmental friendliness. They are a forward-looking solution to the challenges of modern urban life.

The costs of an automated parking system compared to a conventional parking garage are complex and depend on numerous factors.

As a rule, fully automated parking systems with a size of 60 - 100 parking spaces per operating unit and transfer room offer price advantages. Semi-automatic parking systems are in the range of the production costs of conventional parking garages, but allow up to three times the parking space capacity and offer clear price advantages in terms of costs per parking space.

Modular system parking garages are generally cheaper to build for smaller parking space requirements of less than 60 parking spaces. Objectively speaking, however, they require more space during implementation - and therefore cause higher land costs, which must be taken into account in a cost analysis.

Conventional parking facilities also incur higher costs during their life cycle for parking space management, technical building equipment (TGA) and wayfinding systems, as they have to take into account and secure the movement of people in the facility.

Automated systems require less space than conventional parking garages, as the vehicles can be parked on top of or next to each other to save space.

Automation means that more vehicles can be accommodated in a smaller area, which leads to higher capacity utilization.

Automated systems can be adapted to different requirements and have a modular design.

Conclusion: An automated parking system will be worthwhile in the long term, particularly due to the lower space requirements when purchasing land and the lower life cycle costs during operation.

In densely built-up areas, an automatic system is usually the better choice.
The efficient use of space means that more vehicles can be accommodated.

Future-oriented proud parking systems are equipped with modern technologies and can be integrated into smart city concepts.
