  • Patent number: 11981554
    Abstract: A conveyor for moving four-wheeled vehicles comprises a telescopic frame provided with tire-chock arms movable between a retracted position and a position in which they engage with the treads of the wheels. The conveyor comprises a propulsion unit made up of a front frame to which two lateral subunits are secured, each comprising a motorized and directional wheel, which can be oriented independently of one another and a means for coupling the telescopic frame with the front frame.

  • Publication number: 20220326718
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing a fleet of autonomous parking robots by a supervisor. Each autonomous robot comprises a computer and a memory for storing a digital map of the parking space and geolocation means, environment sensors and means for telecommunication with said supervisor. The supervisor comprises a computer and a memory for storing a digital map of the parking space, as well as means for telecommunication with said robots, a record of a unique identifier of each of the robots, and a computer for computing the trajectories of said autonomous robots.

  • Publication number: 20210381266
    Abstract: A method for managing an automatic parking lot involves determining a target space depending on an expected departure date of the vehicle, using a computation including allocating, to a new vehicle entering the lot, a target storage space according to the following rule: selection of spaces corresponding to one of the following criteria: o in the case where a row comprises at least one available proximal space, in front of a vehicle associated with a departure date after the departure date of the entering vehicle, o in the case where a row comprises at least one distal proximal space, positioning in a row the last vehicle of which is associated with a departure date before the departure date of the entering vehicle, allocating the target space to one of the selected spaces—otherwise allocating a space in a temporary storage zone including lanes of consecutive spaces.

  • Patent number: 10590669
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a conveyor for moving four-wheel vehicles. The conveyor includes a chassis having stowable extensions movable between a position in which the extensions make it possible to move the chassis under the vehicle and a position in which the extensions make contact with the treads of the wheels. The chassis is telescopic and includes two segments that each have a pair of arms. At least one of the arm pairs is hinged so as to enable movement between a position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the chassis with an extension at least equal to the track width of the vehicle and a folded-up position that is to occupy a width less than the distance between the inner flanks of the wheels of the vehicle. The segments are movable between a position where the arms are not in contact with the wheels and a position where each arm makes contact with the tread of one of the wheels so as to raise or lower the vehicle.
