The Rise of AUTOParkit
Dasher Lawless is bringing Raleigh, NC a transformative alternative to traditional parking. By utilizing AUTOParkit’s modular/scalable Architecture and smart technology, these systems minimize the space needed for parking vehicles while maximizing overall parking capacity. Here are some key benefits:
- 2X Space Efficiency: AUTOParkit can reduce the footprint of parking facilities by up to half, freeing up valuable urban land for parks, housing, or commercial use. They often require less space than conventional garages, allowing cities to optimize land use.
- Safety and Security: Vehicles are parked automatically in unoccupied rack storage, so there is no risk of theft or damage. AUTOParkit systems reduce the time cars spend idling in driveways and searching for an available parking stall promoting a smoother flow of traffic.
- 83% Reduced Emissions: By eliminating the need for drivers to search for parking, APGs cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption.
- User Experience: AUTOParkit provides a valet service without the need for a valet attendant. Users are provided a touchless experience from the convenience of their AUTOParkit Mobile APP
The Need for AUTOChargit
As the adoption of EVs increases, the need for publicly accessible, reliable, and efficient charging infrastructure becomes critical. Integrating EV charging stations into automated parking garages presents numerous advantages:
- Convenience: EV owners can charge their EV while parked in an automated system or using a switching charger, patented by AUTOChargit, an EV can remain parked even after it has been fully charged without tying up an EVCS.
- Smart Energy Management: AUTOChargit incorporates smart technology that optimizes energy use. For instance, by using the AUTOChargit Mobile APP charging can be scheduled during off-peak hours or prioritied for an immediate charge. The APP also informs the user when charging has been completed or if there were any issues during the charging process.
- Support for Urban Policies: Many cities are adopting policies to promote EV usage as part of their sustainability goals. By providing integrated charging solutions, automated parking garages align with these initiatives, fostering a greener urban environment.
The Synergy: A Vision for the Future
The combination of automated parking garages and EV charging stations offers a glimpse into the future of urban mobility. Here’s why this synergy is poised to transform parking:
- Scalability: As cities expand and vehicle ownership grows, automated garages can be easily scaled to meet demand, accommodating future increases in EVs.
- Integration with Public Transit: Automated garages can serve as hubs for multimodal transportation, seamlessly connecting EV users with public transit, bike-sharing programs, and pedestrian pathways.
- Enhanced User Experience: With the convenience of automated parking and integrated charging, users benefit from a streamlined experience, reducing stress and time spent on parking logistics.
Conclusion:
AUTOParkit combined with AUTOChargit represents a forward-thinking solution to the challenges of urban parking and sustainability. By embracing this innovative approach, cities can enhance space efficiency, reduce emissions, and support the growing demand for electric vehicles. As urban architects look to the future, it is clear that this combination will play a pivotal role in shaping smarter, greener urban environments. Embracing these technologies today will enlighten the way for a more sustainable tomorrow.
