Japan's automobile industry is very developed, and Japanese car companies are very high in the global rankings. Japan's car ownership is also very high, with 0.6 cars per capita, which is much higher than in China. Many people feel that Japan's land area is small, but the number of cars is so high, the problem of parking should be more prominent. But Japanese car owners don't seem to have a place to park, why? After looking at their parking lot, I finally know where the gap is.
Japanese parking lots are very different from domestic parking lots, their parking lots not only use the flat space, but also the upper space, with these parking lots, the owner does not have to worry about no place to park. Moreover, there is also a difference between the charging system of Japanese parking lots and the charging system of domestic parking lots, resulting in many car owners not daring to park their cars in the parking lot for a long time.
What are the characteristics of parking lots in Japan?
There are many flat parking lots in Japan, but it does not adopt a side-by-side design like domestic parking lots, and many of Japan's parking lots are cross-type parking spaces. This kind of parking space can double the utilization rate of flat space, and the space that can only park one car can be parked after replacing it with a cross parking space.
Secondly, there are many multi-storey parking spaces in Japan. Japan is an island country with a small land area, and if all of them are built with flat parking spaces, the available places are limited. They built multi-storey parking spaces on the basis of the original, and the multi-storey parking spaces did not expand the land area occupied by the parking lot, but the upper space was used, and the number of parking spaces became more.
There is also a kind of "Ferris wheel" parking space in Japan, and the Ferris wheel parking space, although it is also a variety of parking spaces, it is different from ordinary multi-storey parking spaces. Ferris wheel parking space is a kind of mechanically controlled parking space, the parking space above can be rotated, if the owner wants to park the car on this parking space, as long as the parking button is pressed, the instrument will begin to rotate, and the empty parking space will fall to the ground.
After the owner drives the car to the tablet, press the corresponding button, and the tablet will shrink into the Ferris wheel and then turn to another position. When the owner comes to pick up the car, press the take button, the machine will rotate again, put the vehicle on the plane, and the owner can drive the car away.
And there is another place worth learning from the Japanese parking lot, that is, timed parking. Although many parking lots in China also charge fees, there is no time-limited device installed on the parking space, and the owner can park as long as he wants. If you don't want to pay the parking fee, you can take advantage of the loophole to drive the car out of the parking lot after following other vehicles.
However, the ground lock is installed on the paid parking space in Japan, and when the car is parked, the ground lock will lock the vehicle and start the timer. If the owner wants to drive the car away, he must pay a parking fee to unlock it. The cost of these paid parking spaces is not cheap, and owners have to stop and go if they don't want to pay a high parking fee.
After looking at the design of these parking lots in Japan, everyone finally understands why the land area in Japan is so small, and the number of cars is not low, but there is no problem of parking difficulties.
In fact, domestic car owners face the problem of parking difficulties, on the one hand, because the number of cars is too high now, on the other hand, because some parking lots are not designed reasonably, occupying a large amount of area, but the number of parking spaces is very limited. Part of the reason is that the owner parked haphazardly, and one car occupied two parking spaces, leaving no place for others to park.
