HKSQ and TQM co-organized
seminar on “Design Methodology in Automated Parking System (APS) for Smart City
Development” on 11th Nov 2022. CityU EngD Society and Hong Kong
Chinese Institute of Engineers (HKCIE) were supporting organizations. Car
parking is one of the key issues in most major cities like Hong Kong. With the
aim to optimize spatial efficiency and innovative solution, Automated Parking
System (APS) is one of the better solutions to provide more parking lots in
limited spaces. This seminar aims to introduce APS and sharing some cases in different
major cities included Hong Kong and Singapore. Group photo was taken for memory
this onsite seminar.
Mr. Peter Fung (Former Chairman, HKSQ) was our
guest speaker and he shared the background of parking challenges in major
cities.
Then he used lean approach to brief wastes in
conventional car park including Ramps, Reservoir space for turning and
Elevators, stairways and other means of exits. And then he mentioned APS solution
in semi and fully automated design for removing those wastes.
After that Mr. Peter Fung shared some case studies
and the first one was Hansen Mansion in Shenzhen which is an integrated complex
(office, shopping mail and hotel). APS employed underground that minimum ground
area occupied. The second case was 18 Robinson in Singapore which was a high-rise
office building. That employed APS in the car park using Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) parking technology.

Finally, he shared some survey results in Hong
Kong to get voice of customer and the top advantage is to reduce the waiting
time or finding time for parking space.
Q&A
session
Peter introduced Hong Kong regulation related to Mechanized
Vehicle Parking System (MVPS) under EMSD in Hong Kong Government at https://www.emsd.gov.hk/en/lifts_and_escalators_safety/aps_mvps_ddcp/mvps/index.html.
He said the most difficulties were documentation and approval of standards’
requirements. (Because HK is new runner and only reference different countries
standards.)
One
practical trial in HKSTP was employed by his company.
