A "Rotary Type" Automated Parking System is in use at Jalan Batas Baru, Kuala Terengganu involving 24 sets of parking systems for normal cars. One set is able to fit in 10 cars (saloon car). Total number of parking areas is for 240 cars.
Advantages of using a "rotary" type automated parking system are :-
- Economical Use Of Land
Able to accommodate 10 cars by utilising an area of two cars.
- Saves Time
Owner only has to park the car in empty parking space without having to drive around like a normal multi-storey parking area.
- Safety Aspects
Drivers, especially women, do not have to take the elevator or stairs or walk long distances to the exit unlike the normal multi-storey parking areas.
- Ease of use
Drivers only need to park vehicles in the space provided and the system will rotate the empty parking lot for the next vehicle.
The "rotary type" automated parking system at Jalan Batas Baru, Kuala Terengganu is expected to be ready by end of 2010 and will be operational by early 2011.
