Connected vehicle lift and storage system

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.

Vehicle lift and storage system utilizing a multi-axis accelerometer

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.
