Definitions

  • the invention relates to a parking system, in particular in the form of a parking garage, with a plurality of zu ⁇ least above the other and arranged side by side plots and at least one conveyor for conveying a is parked in the entrance level vehicle to a parking space and for conveying a, professionparkenden vehicle from is nem ⁇ Position 1 place to the exit level.

Abstract

Un système de stationnement comprend une pluralité de places de stationnement (3) adjacentes et superposées et au moins un convoyeur (9) qui transporte des véhicules stationnés sur le plan d'entrée jusqu'à une place de stationnement, ainsi que les véhicules stationnés sur une place de stationnement jusqu'au plan de sortie. Afin de rendre le système de stationnement facile à utiliser et de permettre une entrée et une sortie rapides des véhicules, plusieurs ou toutes les places de stationnement situées du côté de l'entrée sur le plan d'entrée forment des boxes d'entrée, alors que plusieurs ou toutes les places de stationnement situées du côté de la sortie sur le plan de sortie forment des boxes de sortie. Un agencement d'entrée de la durée probable de stationnement relié à une installation électronique de traitement de données est disposé à une station centrale (20) de contrôle des entrées. Des détecteurs (24) agencés dans chaque place de stationnement (3) déterminent si la place est occupée ou non. Le convoyeur est commandé, selon un programme prédéterminé qui exploite les données des détecteurs (24) et les durées de stationnement entrées, par l'installation de traitement de données (25), de telle sorte que les véhicules (4) sont transportés jusqu'à un boxe de sortie avant l'heure programmée de retrait. Une caisse automatique (22) également reliée à l'installation de traitement de données (25) indique le boxe de sortie correspondant lorsque le client a payé la taxe de stationnement.
