01 Accumulate experience in the operation and management of standalone garages.

Compared with conventional parking garages, multi‑storey automated parking systems have relatively slower vehicle entry and exit speeds, and vehicle storage and retrieval are entirely handled by lifting mechanisms; therefore, it is essential to strengthen management practices. In terms of organizational structure, a dedicated management department or operating company can be established to assume full responsibility for the garage’s operation, administration, and maintenance, thereby enhancing utilization through streamlined and centralized management. On the management front, it is necessary to develop parking‑management policies, along with relevant internal and external procedures and service standards, and to put in place a long‑term management framework.

02 Enhance the level of informationization and implement “Internet Plus” parking.

Establish a comprehensive parking guidance system that provides drivers with real-time information on parking space availability, route directions from their current location to the parking facility, and traffic conditions on surrounding roads, enabling them to make informed parking decisions and thereby maximizing the utilization rate of the parking facility.

03 Enhance user experience by launching a mobile app service.

As the level of parking operations and management continues to improve, enterprises will place increasingly higher demands on market orientation and profitability. To maximize both parking space utilization and parking‑lot revenue, and in line with the principle of optimizing parking services for motorists, operators can develop a range of software applications and services to enhance the convenience of using parking facilities, elevate the user experience, and strengthen customer loyalty.

When conditions are ripe, a mobile phone can be launched. Through the app, parkers can perform a range of services, including garage‑space inquiries, parking reservations, map‑based navigation, long‑term lease arrangements, and mobile payments. They can even participate in on‑demand mobile bidding when spaces are scarce. This approach not only enhances parking convenience and strengthens users’ reliance on the parking facility but also boosts revenue and improves profitability.

Chongqing Jiaotong University has taken the lead in establishing the Static Traffic Professional Committee of the Chongqing Highway Society, comprising 53 participating institutions.

Shenyang will add a large number of new parking spaces this year.
