Standard Guideline for Automated Parking Facilities in the UNITED STATES

This Standard-Guideline [SGL] will describe the design parameters, construction and operation of Mechanical Parking Systems [MPS] and Automated Parking Facilities [APF] in the US. MPS and APF may consist of simple devices that stack two or three vehicles on a single parking space and range to sophisticated fully automated facilities in which multiple robots perform the storage and retrieval of vehicles through computerized processes without human intervention. Sizes range from 2 spaces to several thousand parking spaces.

It is not the intention of this SGL to specify detailed structural, mechanical, electrical and electronic issues as these are well covered in reference codes mentioned below. Moreover this SGL intends to provide an overview of key features and implementations typically required by building codes as well as familiarize Authorities, owners, designers and the public with this type of parking system as to layout, typical dimensions, fire and life safety features, accessible design, vibration and sound attenuation, traffic and access design considerations. This SGL also addresses operational aspects for the operation of Automated Parking Facilities and their effect on public streets traffic, queuing and throughput capabilities.
