BDP-2 is a semi-automatic parking system, developed by Mutrade. The parking space selected is moved to the desired position by means of an automatic control system, and the parking spaces can be shifted vertically or horizontally. Entrance level platforms move horizontally and upper level platforms move vertically, with always one platform less at the entrance level. By swiping the card or input the code, the system automatically moves the platforms in the desired position. To collect a car parked on the upper level, the platforms at the entrance level will first move to one side to provide an empty space into which the required platform is lowered.
BDP-2 mobilizes the existing space by using it the best possible way. It can be used to park two cars on top of each other, and offers space from 5 to 29 cars. A driving lane in front of the full width of the system is required to access all parking spaces, and one vacant space on the entry level allows for horizontal or vertical shifting of all platforms. The access level can be secured by doors which can only be opened once the shifting process is completed. Therefore, cars are protected against theft and vandalism.
