The automated system works with one single computer or CPU which controls, by means of different types of sensors, all movements and the location of each space. A special feature in the design of this automated car park system is the use of two robots or shuttles that are in charge of the vehicles' entrance and exit.
Thus, the car park's entrance is processed by two ground level cabins, in charge of the vehicles' entrance and exit. The user stops at the cabins and sends, in front of the control column located at one side of the circular road, the order with a card or a chip from inside the car. The system recognises the order, proceeds then to open the door and the sensors, located at the door frame, measure the vehicle's height. Once the vehicle is inside the lift, the system measures with laser scanner the vehicle's width. The user disposes of a mirror inside the cabin and has to follow the instructions shown on the screen that indicates the vehicle's position. The lift's platform is slightly inclined to remind the drivers not to forget to activate the handbrake. Once the entrance process is completed, the platform returns to its horizontal position.
After having left the car, the user must confirm the parking on the exterior controls in front of the cabin door. The controls have two operating elements, one of which is handicapped accessible.
