China’s first “inclined‑type” parking garage—parking capacity instantly increases by 160%!

In recent years, with the dramatic increase in the number of privately owned vehicles, By the end of 2018, China’s passenger car stock had surpassed 200 million for the first time, and the number of licensed drivers had exceeded 400 million. “The pain of finding parking” has become a widespread urban problem.

To increase parking density per unit area in garages, developers have introduced multi‑level parking structures and various types of parking racks. However, given the large size of parking facilities and the high volume of vehicles, drivers still need to locate an available spot on their own, which can be rather cumbersome.

Recently, The nation's first “Planar Inclined Type” An intelligent parking garage has been put into operation in Chongqing.

With this new inclined‑parking system, drivers simply drive their vehicles onto the smart parking rack, and the rack automatically tilts to position the car neatly in its designated spot. The entire process takes only about one minute. 。

middle The intelligent parking garage of the Guozhigu·Chongqing Science and Innovation Center demonstration project,

Nearly 400 square meters,

Before the renovation, it could only accommodate 24 vehicles Passenger car,

After the renovation, it can accommodate parking. 40 vehicles Passenger car,

Forty flat, inclined smart parking racks are neatly arranged in four rows. ，

Each parking rack consists of 28- 32 degrees Tilt,

Arranged neatly in a straight line.

Under the same footprint as conventional parking garages, a planar inclined‑type smart parking system can increase parking capacity by at least 40% and up to 70%.

A densely packed array of parking spaces

Compared with traditional parking garages, the inclined‑plane intelligent parking system has… Small footprint, short renovation and construction timeline, and reduced floor-to-floor height. Three major advantages.

A standard flat parking space requires a length of approximately 6.2 meters; when constructing a two‑story mechanical parking garage, the height should generally be designed with at least… 3.6 meters—many existing garages cannot meet this requirement.

And A tilted smart parking space only requires A length of 3.3 meters and a clear height of 2.8 meters , and it occupies less space than both conventional surface parking spaces and double-deck mechanical parking garages.

▲Vehicle Capacity Specifications

The inclined‑plane smart parking system also has specific vehicle size requirements: the vehicle’s length must not exceed 5.1 meters, its width must not exceed 1.95 meters, its height must not exceed 1.6 meters, and its weight must not exceed 2.5 tons.

At present, the parking lot accommodates only passenger cars; in the future, depending on actual space requirements, the parking spaces can be widened to accommodate SUVs.

Small footprint advantage

The driver can park without reversing at any point during the process.

Parking and Vehicle Pickup Instructions

Once the vehicle is tilted to a certain angle, it is gently lowered into the adjacent parking space. A standard flat‑space parking spot can accommodate only one car.

In case of an emergency during the vehicle pick-up or return process, press the button to contact management.

According to reports, the flat‑inclined parking system has currently obtained 19 patented technologies.

Taking its flagship product, the flat‑tilted smart parking rack, as an example, it is equipped with 12 proximity switches (sensors) and 8 distance‑measuring radars, enabling functions such as automated parking and obstacle avoidance.

By design, the current intelligent inclined‑parking rack system addresses both the challenge of adding parking spaces to existing garages and the need to increase capacity.

Another boon for new-energy vehicle owners:

The vehicle frame is integrated with the charging pile, combining the charging station and parking lot into a single unit. Charging piles are deployed alongside parking racks in various parking facilities, eliminating the need to build standalone charging stations, thereby accelerating the rollout of charging infrastructure and boosting the development of the new‑energy vehicle industry.

● It features ground-level parking that leverages limited space and angled configurations to convert a single parking spot into two, effectively saving land and increasing the number of available parking spaces.

● A fully automated system for intelligent parking fee collection and monitoring;

● Effectively integrated with Internet Plus, leveraging a mobile app to provide real-time parking status updates, parking guidance, and parking reservation services.

● Integrated with charging piles, combining the charging station and parking lot into a single facility.

This intelligent parking system was independently developed by Chongqing Shengjie High-Tech Co., Ltd. According to the company’s general manager, Yang Zizhong, the renovation… A garage costs just over 40,000 yuan per parking space when spread across the total.

The next step will be to introduce intelligent parking robots. In the future, drivers will simply park their vehicles on the entry/exit transfer platform and then leave, paving the way for fully unmanned operation of the entire parking facility.
