<p>An improved automated parking garage structure which includes both above ground and below ground components. Each of the components is formed from a cylindrical multilevel housing. Each level of the housing includes a plurality of radially arranged parking stalls (12). The stalls of each component are serviced by an elevator with a centrally disposed telescopic platform. The entire elevator can be rotated by way of an elevator tower. Both the above ground and below ground components are accessed via transfer lifts (14). The lifts (14) are used in transporting a vehicle from ground level to the elevator platform (18) and vice versa. Operation of the transfer lift (14), elevator and tower are coordinated by an automated control system.</p> |
