First Robotic Parking
Garage in the Middle East Opens
at the Ibn Battuta Gate Complex
in Dubai
The
first automated, multi-story car
park in the Middle East opened
its doors to the public in Dubai
as part of the Ibn Battuta Gate
Complex. The garage automation
was built by Robotic Parking Systems,
Inc. in conjunction with its Middle
East distributor MAG Robotic Systems
/ Robotic Systems FZE.
The
new robotic car park has a capacity
of 765 vehicles and is able to
handle 250 cars per hour which
makes it faster than any other
parking system in the world.
The
Ibn Battuta Gate development includes
40,000 square meters of office
space, residential apartments
and a five star hotel.
"This
robotic car park will be especially
convenient for the office tenants;
parking or retrieval can be completed
in less than 160 seconds. It is
safe and secure and obviously
doesn't expose expensive paint
work to the abrasive elements
during lengthy office hours,"
said Asteco Managing Director
Andrew Chambers.
Ahmet
Oktay Cini, Chief Executive Officer
of Asteco Development Management,described
the system as a "key component
of the development, a premium
valet parking using state of the
art technology."
Architects,
developers and city planners
all want to build projects
that improve the lives of
people.
Green
spaces and |

areas in which people can
interact are essential to
creating cities that are beautiful,
livable, safe and desirable
to businesses, tourists and
residents. |

A
Robotic Parking system helps to
create the space to grow a greener
city while reducing pollution
and traffic congestion. The Ibn
Battuta Gate garage reduces CO2
emissions by more than 100 tons
per year with comparable reductions
in other pollutants and greenhouse
gases. It additionally saves 9,000
gallons of gasoline per year thus
contributing significantly to
carbon footprint reductions that
earn up to 17 LEED points for
the project by simply introducing
robotic systems into it.

The
Ibn Battuta garage is, in
simple fact, bigger, greener
and faster than any automated
garage ever built. As such,
Dubai has set a standard for
use by |
architects
and developers around the world
to reduce carbon footprint and
generate carbon credits.
The
Robotic Parking System gives developers,
architects and city planning a
new technology to create space
for more aesthetic design, development
and the community. |
