A New Design for Space Saving. 90 Degree Vertical Parking

I still remember, because the lack of living space in over-populated cities, the concept of 90 degree vertical beds emerged. It was a concept that a single room studio could have a real living when the bed is placed vertically, and you only pull the bed down (with simple mechanism) when you sleep at night. It was a great concept. And now, inevitably, due to the increasing numbers of vehicle in the cities, parking becomes a major problem for city planning in urban environments.

Designed by Baita Bueno, a vertical parking system has emerged which allows you to park your electricity powered vehicle in a 90 degree angle. Compared to the space used by a horizontally parked vehicle to the vertical parking system, the new system would allow up to three vehicles parked within the same space. The space saved is even better than the two stories lift-up parking system, which has a mechanism that simply lifts up a vehicle on top of another one.

In addition, the new design of the vertical parking system would provide green energy through solar panels to power future electricity vehicles. With safe clamps to the four wheels, the vehicle is designed to fit securely while sitting in a 90 degree angle. While a vehicle is parked, it will be charged at the same time. The vertical parking system is very much a necessity driven by limited city space. Since being the greener and space saver, I believe it would be very beneficial to packed societies.
