Parking problems are static traffic problems that accompany urban development. Static traffic is a form of traffic that exists in contrast to dynamic traffic, and the two are interconnected and mutually influential. For private cars, their movement is dynamic, while parking is static. The main purpose of urban static traffic problems is to solve parking problems. The demand for parking spaces increases with the increasing number of private cars in the city. If the number of private cars increases too rapidly and the existing parking spaces cannot meet the demand for parking, the problem of parking difficulties still needs to be solved by mechanical parking garages.
1. Inconsistent with urban development
The problem of parking difficulties in large and medium-sized cities is mainly manifested as the contradiction between the increasing demand for parking and the insufficient existing parking space, and the contradiction between the expansion of existing parking space and the insufficient urban land. If the growth rate of urban vehicles is coordinated with the social and economic development of the city, it is a normal situation as long as it does not exceed the theoretical capacity of the city. But in the process of the steady increase in the number of urban vehicles, although urban parking facilities are also increasing, it is far below the growth rate of vehicles, causing the parking problem often cannot be solved, and it is more passive. Especially near residential communities and office buildings, the problem of parking difficulties is difficult to solve.
2. Prominent parking chaos
Especially in old residential areas with few parking spaces, parking is even more difficult, often leading to random occupation of roads and encroachment on lawns, leading to vehicle scratches and neighborhood disputes, and other events are not in the minority. The problem of parking has led to conflict events. The problem of parking difficulties and chaotic parking also brings about safety hazards. The occupation of the vehicle passage in the community makes it difficult for ambulances and fire engines to reach the scene quickly, and the occupation of non-motorized vehicle lanes outside the community forces pedestrians and vehicles to mix and cause safety accidents. Due to the insufficient number of parking spaces in parking lots, in large cities, the price of a single parking space ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and a monthly parking management fee of several hundred yuan is also required, which indirectly leads to chaotic parking. Therefore, residential areas and commercial areas in large and medium-sized cities urgently need to solve the problem of parking difficulties. Most of the existing mechanical parking equipment is aimed at developers or property management companies, and there are few simple lifting-and-lowering mechanical parking garage equipment developed for individuals.
However, some households now own two cars. Previously, families that only purchased a single parking space are faced with the situation of no available parking space to buy or a significant increase in parking space prices and do not want to make a purchase. Many property management companies also do not have space to install large multi-level stereo garages, causing contradictions to become prominent. Stereo garages for individual parking spaces have no way to solve the interference problem of lower-level vehicles. In order to retrieve a vehicle, there must be no vehicles on the lower level, and mechanical parking garages can alleviate this problem.
