Proposal for automated valet parking to reduce exit time

An automated valet parking system that makes maximum use of three-dimensional space has been proposed due to a lack of parking spaces in major cities. This parking lot aims to maximize the number of parking and minimize entry and exit times. Therefore, there are no passages in the parking lot, and cars must move through the parking spaces to park to the desired parking location. Furthermore, cars are not driven by a driver, but are transported on self-driving rectangular pallets called cell pallets, which are large enough to fit one car. The parking lot is made up of a skeleton of poles like a jungle gym in a park, within which the cell pallets can move left and right and up and down on odd-numbered floors, and front and back and up and down on even-numbered floors. In this study, we present an improvement plan for the method of moving around in a parking lot, which is proposed as supporting research for the construction of a new moving system for the multi-story car parking lot. The aim is to verify this through simulation experiments and to improve the efficiency of the time it takes to enter and exit.
