Robots and the Future of Parking Lots and Garages
Overview
The future of parking lots and garages greatly relies on the implementation of robotic technology. By 2025, the global autonomous valet parking system market will reach $1.3 billion, and about 142,000 parking spaces in the U.S are expected to be robotic by 2030. Moreover, autonomous valet parking systems reduce the need for parking spaces by up to 62%. Robots can potentially offer truly optimized parking lot spaces, improve safety, lower costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
The Autonomous Valet Parking System Market
By 2025, the global autonomous valet parking system market is projected to reach $1.3 billion. This surge is believed to be facilitated by the growing need for efficient car parking space in urban areas due to the rapid increase in vehicle numbers. Robotic parking systems are capable of quick parking and retrieving the vehicles, reducing wait times and contributing to overall customer satisfaction. Also, these systems are scalable and can be implemented even in small-scale parking lots.
The Potential Impact of Robotic Parking
Research indicates that by 2030, about 142,000 parking spaces in the U.S. could become robotic, demonstrating a significant shift in parking lot management and design. Robotic parking substantially reduces the need for human intervention, which is often a source of inefficiencies and errors. Moreover, robotic systems can park cars more tightly, increasing the parking density in garages.
The Effects on Space Efficiency
Experts claim that autonomous valet parking systems can reduce the need for parking spaces by up to 62%. With the use of sensors and advanced algorithms, robotic systems can park cars more close-knit, therefore maximizing the parking space available within lots and garages. Besides, the rise of self-parking systems will drastically decrease the space required for driveways and aisles.
