Introduction
The Chongqing Hechuan Urban Investment Building, located in a bustling office district, required a high-efficiency, intelligent parking solution to address limited space and heavy commuting demand. Comant's Horizontal Circulation Parking System, a type of flat-moving intelligent parking system, was selected to maximize parking capacity while providing a seamless user experience. With 7 levels and 195 parking spaces, this multi-level parking system significantly optimizes land utilization and operational efficiency, making it ideal for high-density office parking scenarios.
Project Overview
- Parking Type: Horizontal Circulation (Flat-Moving)
- Levels: 7
- Parking Spaces: 195
- Automation Level: Fully automatic vehicle storage and retrieval
- Application Scenario: Office building high-peak parking
The Horizontal Circulation system allows vehicles to be moved horizontally across multiple layers, enabling high-density parking without increasing building footprint. This system is ideal for urban offices and commercial complexes where land availability is constrained, yet parking demand is high.
Key Advantages of the Horizontal Circulation Parking System
1. Maximized Space Utilization
One of the main goals of this project was to increase the parking capacity in a limited footprint. The 7-level horizontal circulation structure allows for 195 parking spaces in an area that could originally accommodate only 50–60 cars.
Technical Parameters:
- Platform Size per Vehicle: 2.5m × 5m
- Maximum Load Capacity per Platform: 2,500 kg
- Operational Speed: 150 seconds per vehicle storage/retrieval cycle
The intelligent layout ensures that each square meter is optimized, achieving over 90% space utilization. This efficiency reduces the need for additional land acquisition and construction costs.

2. Intelligent and High-Efficiency Vehicle Storage
The system is fully automated, which means drivers only need to park on the entry platform; the vehicle is automatically transported to the assigned parking space.
Operational Highlights:
- Automatic Storage & Retrieval: Eliminates the need for valet or manual parking
- High Frequency Support: Designed for peak commuting hours, supporting continuous vehicle access without delay
- Smart Monitoring: Integrated control system allows real-time vehicle tracking via touch screen or mobile app
- Energy Efficiency: Intelligent algorithms minimize motor use, lowering power consumption
The Horizontal Circulation system ensures fast, reliable, and safe operations, offering a seamless experience for office employees and visitors.

3. Safety, Stability, and Durability
Safety and reliability are critical in multi-level parking systems. Comant's Horizontal Circulation design incorporates:
- Robust Structural Design: Steel frame and reinforced platforms capable of handling 2,500 kg per vehicle
- Comprehensive Safety Features: Anti-collision sensors, emergency stop functions, overload detection
- Long Service Life: High-quality materials components ensure durability under heavy use
- Low Maintenance Costs: Reduced mechanical wear due to precise horizontal movement and automated control
This combination of safety, stability, and durability makes the system an ideal solution for office buildings that require high-performance parking infrastructure.
Integration with Other Comant Solutions
For projects that require mixed parking technologies, Comant offers integration with:
- Puzzle Parking: Ideal for high-density, modular parking spaces
- Vertical Parking System: Suitable for compact footprints where vertical expansion is possible
By combining Horizontal Circulation with these systems, developers can maximize parking efficiency and flexibility for any urban scenario.
Project Value and Benefits
- Optimized Land Utilization: From 50–60 conventional spaces to 195 spaces in the same footprint
- Enhanced Commuter Experience: Automated parking reduces time spent searching for spaces
- Reliable Office Facility Support: Long-lasting, low-maintenance parking infrastructure
- Scalable Solution: System can be adapted to future expansions or integrated with vertical carousel systems
