Qatar gets first robot car park
Qatar’s Karwa City will be the site of the country’s first automated car park, according to a report in English-language daily, The Peninsula.
Parkmatic, a US-based parking company, developed the project for Mowasalat in conjunction with the Doha-based Venture Gulf Group, which will look after the management and maintenance of the facility.
Parkmatic was awarded the contract in May last year. It developed a 50 car storage system that fits in a space equal to 10 standard parking spaces.
Parkmatic also won the contract to provide a parking system to Zabeel One, a Dubai development. If the project goes ahead it will be the world’s largest robot carpark.
The Peninsula report also claimed this was the first system of its kind in the Middle East, however there are others. One was inaugurated late last year in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Gate development. At the time it was also suggested that Sharjah may have had one first, but no evidence has been found to support this.
it looks like an automated shelving mechanism generally found in modern warehouses..
i wonder, what would be the parking charges which would cover the initial and running expenses of the system over the designed life..
