ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for storage and retrieval of vehicles, particularly in parking lots surrounding shopping malls, airports, stadiums and the like is disclosed. The method includes identification of the vehicle owner and the stored vehicle with a common code utilizing a two part identifier. The first part of the identifier is used to imprint an identifying code on the vehicle owner and is also attached to the vehicle while it is stored. The second part of the identifier with the same code is attached to the vehicle's keys which are kept in a secure facility. The vehicle's description and location in the parking lot is recorded on the second part and is also inputed to a central computer which maintains data on each vehicle stored. When the vehicle owner wants to retrieve his or her vehicle, the code inprinted on the owner is read and transmitted to the area where the vehicle is stored along with the location where the vehicle is to be delivered. That code is used to locate the vehicle in the parking area, which is then driven to the location desired by the vehicle owner.
