The Evolution of Urban Mobility: Fully Automated Parking Systems
Redefining Urban Space: Fully Automated Parking Systems
Compact. Connected. Future-Ready: Unlocking Urban Potential with Fully Automated Parking.
Cities aren’t just getting denser—they’re getting smarter. As land becomes scarcer and streets more congested, traditional parking garages feel increasingly out of place: oversized, underutilized, and out of sync with modern urban goals.
Fully Automated Parking Systems are rewriting that script. These robotic, space-optimized solutions use intelligent machinery and minimal human input to maximize land use, reduce emissions, and align perfectly with the needs of tomorrow’s cities.
In this post, we explore SolidParking’s lineup of fully automated systems—each engineered to turn stagnant parking zones into dynamic, tech-integrated mobility assets.
Meet the Machines: 5 Fully Automated Systems by SolidParking
SolidParking offers a diverse range of automated parking systems. Each one is purpose-built for different urban scenarios, from vertical land-scarce sites to flexible irregular lots. Let’s walk through each, starting with the most compact and modular.
RPS – Rotary Smart Parking System
The most space-efficient solution for ultra-compact lots.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lifting Speed | 4-6 meters/min. |
| Max Car Size | 2100 mm (W) × 1700 mm (H) |
| Lifting Capacity | 2000 kg/2500kg |
| Site Suitability | Compact infill plots |
| Foundation | Based on project |
| Vehicle Type | Sedan / SUV |
| Environment | Indoor / Outdoor |
How It Works:
A vertical carousel rotates vehicles on a steel frame, requiring only two traditional parking bays to accommodate up to 20 cars. Retrieval takes under 15 seconds, making it one of the fastest systems available.
Use Case:
Perfect for space-constrained urban infill, modular developments, or temporary installations.
AGV – Automated Guided Vehicle Parking System
Maximum flexibility meets high payload automation.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Movement Speed | 30 meters/min. |
| Max Car Size | 2100 mm (W) × 2500 mm (H) |
| Lifting Capacity | 2700 kg |
| Site Suitability | Irregular buildings, high-end residential |
| Foundation | C25 embedded concrete |
| Vehicle Type | Sedan / Heavy SUV |
| Environment | Indoor |
How It Works:
Battery-powered robots (AGVs) autonomously navigate to pick up vehicles from the loading zone and place them in available spaces without fixed tracks.
Use Case:
Ideal for flexible architectural footprints, premium developments, or projects requiring maximum automation.
ATP – Automated Tower Parking System
Build vertically when horizontal space runs out.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Average Parking Time | 45-50 seconds |
| Max Car Size | 2000 mm (W) × 1800 mm (H) |
| Lifting Capacity | 2000 kg |
| Site Suitability | Narrow land plots, vertical infill |
| Foundation | C25 embedded concrete |
| Vehicle Type | Sedan / SUV |
| Environment | Indoor / Outdoor |
How It Works:
A central lift system transports cars vertically and slides them laterally into bays, stacking them several stories high with minimal land use.
Use Case:
CBDs, commercial towers, or transit-adjacent developments with height advantage.
SSP – Super Square Chess Parking System
Full directional movement for full spatial control.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Movement Speed | 30 meters/min. |
| Max Car Size | 2100 mm (W) × 2100 mm (H) |
| Lifting Capacity | 2500 kg |
| Site Suitability | Square-shaped lots |
| Foundation | C25 embedded concrete |
| Vehicle Type | Sedan / SUV |
| Environment | Indoor |
How It Works:
Motorized pallets move cars like chess pieces—up, down, left, right—eliminating the need for shuttle aisles or ramps.
Use Case:
Best suited for retail, residential, or mixed-use sites with square grid layouts.
ASP – Automated Shuttle Parking System
Speed and scale for large-volume vehicle flow.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Movement Speed | 30-80 meters/min. (Adjustable) |
| Max Car Size | 2100 mm (W) × 2100 mm (H) |
| Lifting Capacity | 2350 kg |
| Site Suitability | Large mixed-use and residential projects |
| Foundation | C25 embedded concrete |
| Vehicle Type | Sedan / SUV |
| Environment | Indoor |
How It Works:
Shuttles move horizontally on tracks, lifting and transferring vehicles vertically to their slots. High throughput and speed define this system.
Use Case:
Great for airport garages, large shopping centers, or residential megaprojects.
Side-by-Side System Comparison
| System | Parking Cycle Time | Capacity (Adjustable) | Foundation | Site Type | Environment | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RPS | 4-6 meters/min. | 2000 kg | Project-based | Small plots | Indoor / Outdoor | Modular / temporary |
| AGV | 30 meters/min. | 2700 kg | C25 concrete | Irregular | Indoor | Premium resi, flexible layouts |
| ATP | 45-50 seconds | 2000 kg | C25 concrete | Vertical | Indoor / Outdoor | CBD, infill land |
| SSP | 30 meters/min. | 2500 kg | C25 concrete | Square lots | Indoor | Retail, residential |
| ASP | 30-80 meters/min. (Adjustable) | 2350 kg | C25 concrete | Large-scale | Indoor | Airports, towers, mixed-use |
Foundation & Design Requirements
· Concrete Grade: All systems (except RPS) require C25 concrete with embedded-part construction.
· Modularity: RPS and SSP systems allow rapid deployment and relocation.
· Safety: All include sensors for vehicle presence, obstruction, and emergency overrides.
· Integration: Systems can be linked with EV charging, smart grid, and building automation.
Conclusion: From Dead Space to Dynamic Infrastructure
“Fully automated parking isn’t just a convenience—it’s the critical infrastructure enabling cities to thrive amid the mobility revolution.”
As smart cities become our shared future, parking is no longer a static necessity—it’s an opportunity. The shift toward automation turns yesterday’s asphalt into tomorrow’s value generator.
Whether you’re building upward, planning dense mixed-use, or retrofitting infill land, SolidParking’s automated systems unlock the space and efficiency today’s cities desperately need.
