ABSTRACT:
A High-rise Automated Garage (HAG) for offstreet parking consists of up to 40 stories (levels) car storage structure and a bank of elevators in the middle of this structure. Elevators are oriented along the garage and can pick-up cars from a flat driveway along the garage. Car handling carriages of the elevators can lift cars as cargo, using their wheels as the pick-up points, and move them horizontally into elevator's platform. In the case of one elevator failure, cars parked in the zone served by this elevator can be relocated by attendants into the zone served by an operating elevator, thus providing the capability of returning cars to the owners in a reasonable time. HAG has two loading (unloading) lanes. This allows an increase in the driver time for arriving and releasing the car to two elevators' cycles.
