Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automated vehicle parking system (100). The automated vehicle parking system includes at least one parking facility structure (102a, 102b) including a plurality of vehicle storage cells (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d), a vehicle entrance/exit arrangement (200), and a vehicle transporting mechanism (108). The vehicle transporting mechanism is spatially disposed adjacently to the vehicle storage cells for delivering and retrieving one or more vehicles (106) in respect of the vehicle storage cells. The vehicle transporting mechanism is operable to lift up and/or lower down the one or more vehicles, and to move them laterally by way of supporting the one or more vehicles on corresponding one or more platforms (314a, 314b, 314c) which are moveable laterally relative to the vehicle transporting mechanism (108).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automated vehicle parking system. The automated vehicle parking system includes at least one parking facility structure including a plurality of vehicle storage cells, a vehicle entrance/exit arrangement, and a vehicle transporting mechanism. The vehicle transporting mechanism transports one or more vehicles between the entrance/exit arrangement and the at least one parking facility. The vehicle transporting mechanism is operable to redistribute the one or more vehicles between the storage cells within the at least one parking facility structure so that the one or more vehicles are more rapidly accessible when they are required to be delivered to the entrance/exit arrangement for collection thereat.
