Automated parking system in short-term tenancy car park at Hoi Wang Road, Yau Ma Tei, commences service (with photos/video)
******************************************************************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) said today (April 21) that the automated parking system (APS) in a short-term tenancy (STT) car park at Hoi Wang Road, Yau Ma Tei, has commenced service, with the largest number of APS parking spaces among similar sites to date.

     This project provides 117 APS parking spaces out of about 200 parking spaces, comprising five modules of four-storey puzzle-stacking APS each. Among them, four modules are of a larger scale providing 25 parking spaces each, the design with the highest number of parking spaces among similar APS in STT car parks, thereby enhancing spatial efficiency. The puzzle-stacking APS moves vehicles to/from ground level for retrieval/parking through vertical lifting and horizontal sliding of parking pallets. The APS is constructed, operated and maintained by the tenant.

     A spokesman for the TD said that it has been implementing public vehicle parking projects with APS in Hong Kong since 2020 to make better use of space through technology and increase the provision of parking spaces. APS has been installed in STT sites at Hoi Shing Road in Tsuen Wan, Pak Shek Kok in Tai Po and Tung Chau Street in Sham Shui Po, and has been well received by motorists, providing parking convenience for the public.

     The Government will examine the feasibility of adopting an APS when inviting tenders for new STT car parks and carrying out retendering for existing STT car parks, taking into account factors such as financial viability, actual site conditions and constraints, and the timetable for their long-term development. The Government will consolidate experiences in building, operating and managing different APS types and their financial arrangements, with a view to facilitating a wider and more efficient application of APS with the trade to optimise land space.
