Diseño y simulación de un sistema de parqueo vertical para 12 vehículos en zonas urbanas con espacio limitado

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. This work presents the design of a “Longitudinal Rotary Parking System” for 12 SUV-type vehicles as an alternative to conventional parking facilities in urban areas with space constraints. The objective is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the system, under the hypothesis that it optimizes land use and reduces construction time, providing a modular and efficient solution to the increasing parking demand. A fixed structure was designed using SHS profiles, with bolted joints for the main elements and welded joints for the secondary components. The structural and motion system design was carried out in accordance with design codes and reference literature. Both the structure and the motion mechanism were modeled with CAD tools, and the design was supported with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Ansys, following the NEC-SE-AC structural standard. An economic profitability study was also conducted. The final design resulted in a 34-meter-high structure capable of accommodating 12 vehicles of up to 2 tons. It is concluded that the proposed design represents a viable alternative for urban sectors with limited space where the construction of conventional parking facilities is not feasible.
