The present disclosure discloses a three-dimensional parking system, which mainly includes a supporting upright column, an annular railway, a parking platform, a platform bracket, a vertical power system, a rotating power system, and a platform interlocking system. A safety of a vehicle during transportation in a parking and picking up process can be improved by setting the platform interlocking system. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional parking system of the disclosure adopts a modular design, which facilitates assembly and transportation. The parking platform can be moved interactively by lifting and rotating, enabling that the vehicle can be parked and picked up quickly. The overall three-dimensional parking system has small floor area and high safety, so that urban space is used for parking efficiently and conveniently, thereby providing a subversive, multi-functional, and high-tech solution to the problem of parking difficult in cities at present.

A modular housing structure for housing a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a plurality of housing segments and a plurality of landing pads. The plurality of housing segments are shaped to mechanically join together to define an interior of the modular housing structure. The individual housing segments have a common structural shape that repeats when assembled to form the modular housing structure. The plurality of landing pads are positioned within the individual housing segments, each of the landing pads sized to physically support and charge a corresponding one of the UAVs.

An object of the instant application is to provide a vehicle that can minimize parking space and a parking facility that can efficiently park a large number of vehicles in a predetermined parking space. The vehicle 1 includes a bottom flap 7 arranged on a bottom surface of a vehicle body and vertically rotatable around a lower rear end of the vehicle body, a rear flap 8, and geared motors 9, 11 for respectively rotating the bottom flap 7 and the rear flap 8. The parking facility 20 for a vehicle 1 is configured to include an erecting mechanism (a rotating member 22, an electric motor 23, and a link mechanism 24) for erecting the vehicle 1 upright with a rear surface facing down, and a transfer mechanism (belt conveyor) 25 for transferring the vehicle 1 erected by the erecting mechanism to a predetermined position.

A vehicle lift and storage system (VLSS) can comprise a platform that can be moved between a plurality of positions by one or more moving mechanisms. The platform can be equipped with a wireless, multi-axis accelerometer that transmits data regarding the platform to a control system of the VLSS via a wireless sensor link. Using the data from the multi-axis accelerometer, the control system can generate control signals to control the one or more moving mechanisms. The control system can also detect the occurrence of a safety event based on the data received from the multi-axis accelerometer. In response to detecting a safety event, the control system can cause the one or more moving mechanisms to enter a safety mode to alleviate or respond to the detected safety event.

A connected vehicle lift and storage system (VLSS) can include a plurality of platforms for storing vehicles that are movable between a plurality of positions. The connected VLSS can communicate with a computing device operated by a user to receive requests to store or retrieve the user's vehicle(s). As part of the request, location data generated by the computing device can be transmitted to the connected VLSS. In response to the request, the connected VLSS can determine a sequence of platform movements to fulfill the request to store or retrieve the user's vehicle(s). The sequence can be determined, at least in part, on the location data of the requesting user and/or the location data of other users. In addition, the sequence can be determined to minimize wait times for the requesting user and other users.
