Reducing Vehicle Theft and Vandalism

By storing vehicles in a secure, controlled environment, APS drastically reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access, thereby mitigating the risks of theft and vandalism. Access to vehicles is restricted to authorized personnel through the use of advanced security measures, including surveillance cameras, alarm systems and, in some cases, license plate recognition technology that screens and monitors vehicles entering and exiting the facility.

Pedestrian Safety in Parking Facilities

Pedestrian safety is another area where APS offer considerable improvements over traditional parking lots. The risk of vehicle-pedestrian collisions is significantly lowered since vehicles are parked automatically, eliminating the need for drivers to navigate through parking spaces. APS facilities are designed with pedestrian safety in mind, featuring well-lit areas activated by motion sensors, clearly marked walkways, and designated crossing zones to ensure safe passage for individuals within the parking structure.

Improved Personal Safety

Moreover, APS enhances personal safety for drivers. The system’s design allows drivers to wait in secure areas while their cars are retrieved, minimizing the exposure to potential security threats commonly associated with walking through dimly lit, expansive parking lots. The controlled entry points, which typically require a transponder for access, add an extra layer of security, effectively preventing unauthorized entry.
