Is it difficult to park in the shopping district? "Smart Parking·Unmanned Driving" is here to help you!

Many drivers have had the embarrassing experience of parking in commercial districts: Sometimes they have to go around the garage several times without finding an empty space, and many cars milling around in the garage can lead to queues and even create safety hazards. At the China International Intelligent Industry Expo (Smart Expo) held today, reporters saw "black technology" that can resolve this dilemma.

In Hall S2 of the National Expo Center, Meitian Technology, a subsidiary of Dongying Hengkang, a long-established private enterprise in Chongqing, brought the "Smart Parking·Autonomous Driving" project. In layman's terms, this is a set of intelligent parking robots (separate lifting trolleys): as long as the driver drives the car to the designated location and then turns off the engine and locks the car, the robot can move the car to the free parking space and park it. Likewise, Logically speaking, when the driver picks up the car, the robot will quickly find the vehicle and move the car back to the designated location.

The intelligent parking robot can be used in three-dimensional parking buildings and parking garages. Its moving weight can reach 2800kg, which can meet the needs of vehicles with different wheelbases. During the transportation process, it will not cause any damage to the tires and the internal mechanisms of the vehicle. The same quantity , the parking spaces of the same specifications require small construction area and low cost. The average parking time can be controlled at 2 minutes, and the overall parking efficiency is improved by more than 30%. This technology is in the leading position in the industry domestically and even internationally.

The reporter learned that this technology has been implemented in many places at home and abroad, and has been put into use in the Xinhua International Building and the World Financial Center Garage in Chongqing. In order to test the implementation results of this "black technology" on the spot, the reporter also came to the WFC Global Financial Center in Jiefangbei to experience it.

Unlike in the past, when entering the garage and circling around to find a parking space, the reporter followed the signs and drove the car to the designated location of the "Fully Automatic Parking Garage" on the B2 floor. He turned off the engine, got out of the car, locked the car, swiped the card, and saw the robotic arm starting to move the vehicle. Then you can leave in style, and the whole process takes less than two minutes. In the subsequent car pickup test, the reporter only waited 70 seconds to pick up the vehicle delivered by the robot. Such a new parking experience is indeed a "clean flow" for parking in bustling business districts.

According to the person in charge of Meitian Technology's "Smart Parking·Autonomous Driving", smart parking robots can build a parking space that can only park one level of cars into a 13-story three-dimensional parking garage, which can greatly increase the number of parking spaces and ease urban parking problems, especially in urban areas. It’s the dilemma of parking in the business district.

In addition to the "Smart Parking·Autonomous Driving" project, Meitian Technology also demonstrated multiple static traffic full-scenario solutions such as smart on-street parking solutions and smart off-street parking garage solutions. Integrating dynamic traffic (intelligent traffic light) big data and using artificial intelligence algorithms to balance the traffic flow within the road network can improve the smoothness of urban traffic 20%.

At present, Meitian Technology has officially signed smart parking business coordination and development framework agreements with many domestic cities. At the same time, it is also negotiating with more than ten domestic cities on parking sector business cooperation. The smart transportation industry ecosystem in future scenarios will also gradually enter and impact our lives.
