With a staggering 2,679 spaces, and charging just 6 yuan (90 cents) per hour, Beijing’s largest “intelligent” underground parking lot is now open for business. Located near a large People’s Liberation Army hospital and a major basketball stadium in the capital, the parking lot can cater not only for the parking needs of patients and medical professionals, but can ease parking congestion during big events. The parking lot is fitted with an intelligent vehicle tracking facility, advanced payment systems and can provide an automated guided vehicle robot parking service, the first of its kind in Beijing, allowing cars to be automatically parked.
