Introduction to High-Density Parking Systems

As urban areas become more dense, land values increase, and the demand for space becomes more challenging, developers are seeking alternative innovative approaches to parking cars that allow a project to proceed while meeting all parking and sustainability requirements. High-density parking (HDP) systems are able to park 30% - 400% more vehicles than a traditional garage in the same amount of space. This course explains the origins, history, and types of high-density parking. The sustainable advantages of HDP systems are examined and design considerations are discussed.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Recall the key aspects of an HDP system that reduce air pollution, increase user safety, reduce electrical energy use, and limit land use.
• Discuss the many design considerations for a safe and efficient HDP including traffic studies; dwell time; fire protection and safety codes; and structural, mechanical, and electrical design requirements.
• Discuss the negative environmental and human health impacts of traditional parking lots and garages on land use, air and water quality, and safety.
• Explain the differences between mechanical, semi-automated, and fully automated high-density parking systems and compare their function and sustainable impact.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
