AUTOMATED PARKING: STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES
机械停车系统首次在美国使用货运电梯对第一次世界大战时,在1920年和1930年的一系列的其他专利被授予但直到1940年末的水槽,鸽子洞和转筒式公园系统开始运作和安装在许多地方。其中一些早期系统垂直升降机模块,把车放在上层水平结构的感动服务员和其他机械设备,车辆进入“老虎机”框架建立在一个中央走廊。能力范围通常从不足100空间到超过600人。所有这些“早期”系统共同使用一个站点区域——远小于所需的地区传统的车库。在接下来的25年里很多这样的系统经营二十年或因此一些至今仍在运行。问题的及时交付顾客车辆主要因为不起作用的电梯和机械系统导致许多单位拆除。在接下来的二十年,有一些“高级”的讨论机械车库系统出现在欧洲和亚洲,但没有重大项目计划在美国建立了在过去的十年里不断对停车的需求,尤其是在大型城市中心,创建了一个新的美国利益在这些外国systems-automated高新技术,以计算机为基础的系统,增加了速度、可靠性和安全性的基本车库类型五十年前发明的。欧洲和亚洲的制造商已经开始市场系统和建立办事处在美国几家美国公司也已经进入了市场,创造了更大的地方兴趣自动停车。系统现在包括制造商或销售商等名字许愿,克劳斯,一臂之力,WOHR,机器人,APS,香港系统、斯托克斯,汽车空间,天空停车美国和其他国家。这些项目现在的约100规划阶段。

 AUTOMATED PARKING: STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES
 INTRODUCTION
Mechanical parking systems were first introduced in the U.S. using freight elevators about the time of World War I. During the 1920’s and 1930’s a series of other patents were granted but it was not until the late 1940’s that the Bowser, Pigeon Hole and Roto Park systems became operational and installed in numerous locations. Some of these early systems were vertical elevator lift modules that placed cars on upper levels of a structure to be moved by attendant and others mechanical devices that could move vehicles into “slots” in a framework built around a central corridor. Capacities ranged typically from less than 100 spaces to more than 600. All of these “early days” systems shared common characteristic—the use of a site area much smaller than the area needed for a conventional garage. During the next twenty-five years many of these systems operated for up to twenty years or so—a few remain in operation today. Problems related to the timely delivery of patron vehicles due largely to inoperative elevator and mechanical systems caused many units to be dismantled. For the next twenty-years there was some discussion of “advanced” mechanical garage systems appearing in Europe and Asia, but no major projects which were planned on were constructed in the U.S.
