The Technology TreviPark is applicable in dense urban areas or in special circumstances which limit parking on grade or in elevation. Heating, air circulation, and lighting costs are minimized, as all patron activity is above ground in the service. TreviPark fits into a 72'-diameter circle and holds 12 cars per floor, accommodating between 72 and 108 cars, with a surface impact of only two parking spaces and one kiosk. A surface kiosk, which provide a sheltered and secure waiting area during retrieval, is designed to enhance surrounding architecture and open space. Retail or other public services can be incorporated into the design of the kiosk.
Parking takes place automatically, without the driver on board.
The patron simply drives the car into a parking lane that serves as the loading pick-up point, turns the car off and leaves. The car is then conveyed into the cylindrical structure by an elevator that automatically transfer the car to a safe dock. The driver receives a magnetic card to retrieve the vehicle and to pay for its storage. Total cycle time for retrieval takes between fifteen seconds and one minute, based on vehicle location within the circular garage. The Benefits Reduces land usage - conveying the vehicle by a vertical elevator rather than using sloped ramps and driving lanes.
