Albany International Airport offers a wide variety of convenient and economical parking locations. Most airport lots accept EZ-Pass Plus and all accept credit cards. Please refer to the Parking Rates tab for a breakdown of charges specific to each parking area.
3d parking lot cars vol 3
Economy E-Lot - the economy lot is located to the southeast of the airport with access directly off of Albany Shaker Road and has shuttle service to the terminal. Economy parking is $6 per-day.
Short-Term - located directly across from the terminal on the first level of the North Parking Garage and in a signed area behind and next to the parking garage. Short Term allows those arriving for flights, dropping off or greeting passengers to park FREE for the first 30 minutes. Short-Term parking is $24 per-day.
Long-Term - the main Long Term lot is located behind the North Parking Garage. The entrance to the main Long Term defaults to an EZPass Plus lane if you have an EZPass Plus tag. If you do not wish to use your EZPass Plus to pay for your parking when you exit, please place your tag in an EZPass read prevention bag or use the Long Term entrance in the back of the garage. To get to the back entrance take the first left after driving in front of the North Garage. Long-Term Parking is $10 per day.
Garage (2 options) - Garage parking is available on floors 2 and 3 of the NorthParking Garage (GP1) and on floors 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the "New" South Parking Garage (GP2).North and South Parking Garage rate is $14 per-day.
DisabledCustomers with disabilities can find designated handicapped accessible parking in each parking lot, on each floor of the parking garage and in the long-term lot. Vehicles parked in designated handicapped spaces must have a handicapped license plate or visibly display a valid handicapped flag.
This pack includes more than 45 3d assets that speed up your workflow in creating garage car parking scenes.In .blend files, objects are marked as assets, so you can easily add these objects to your library.All 3d models have UV maps and textures(with variations of more than 95 textures sets).What's Included:
Before stopping, check your rear view mirror for traffic. Do not attempt a three point turn on a busy roadway. In fact, three point turns should only be used in emergency situations. It is safer and easier to find a driveway or parking lot in which to turn around.
Stop your vehicle. Again, check for any other cars either behind or in front of you. Performing a three point turn will take several seconds. If at all possible, you do not want to obstruct the roadway for other drivers, especially if you are only performing a three point turn for practice and not out of necessity.
An automated (car) parking system (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parking garage, an APS provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically to maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. The APS, however, utilizes a mechanical system to transport cars to and from parking spaces (rather than the driver) in order to eliminate much of the space wasted in a multi-story parking garage.[1] While a multi-story parking garage is similar to multiple parking lots stacked vertically, an APS is more similar to an automated storage and retrieval system for cars.[1] The paternoster (shown animated at the right) is an example of one of the earliest and most common types of APS.[2]
APS are also generically known by a variety of other names, including: automated parking facility (APF), automated vehicle storage and retrieval system (AVSRS), car parking system, mechanical parking, and robotic parking garage.
The concept for the automated parking system was and is driven by two factors: a need for parking spaces and a scarcity of available land.The earliest use of an APS was in Paris, France in 1905 at the Garage Rue de Ponthieu.[2] The APS consisted of a groundbreaking[2] multi-story concrete structure with an internal car elevator to transport cars to upper levels where attendants parked the cars.[3]
In the 1920s, a Ferris wheel-like APS (for cars rather than people) called a paternoster system became popular as it could park eight cars in the ground space normally used for parking two cars.[3] Mechanically simple with a small footprint, the paternoster was easy to use in many places, including inside buildings. At the same time, Kent Automatic Garages was installing APS with capacities exceeding 1,000 cars.[4]
APS saw a spurt of interest in the U.S. in the late 1940s and 1950s with the Bowser, Pigeon Hole and Roto Park systems.[2] In 1957, 74 Bowser, Pigeon Hole systems were installed,[2] and some of these systems remain in operation. However, interest in APS in the U.S. waned due to frequent mechanical problems and long waiting times for patrons to retrieve their cars.[6] In the United Kingdom, the Auto Stacker opened in 1961 in Woolwich, south east London, but proved equally difficult to operate. Interest in APS in the U.S. was renewed in the 1990s, and there were 25 major current and planned APS projects (representing nearly 6,000 parking spaces) in 2012.[7] The first American robotic parking garage opened in 2002 in Hoboken, New Jersey.[8]
While interest in the APS in the U.S. languished until the 1990s,[2] Europe, Asia and Central America had been installing more technically advanced APS since the 1970s.[3] In the early 1990s, nearly 40,000 parking spaces were being built annually using the paternoster APS in Japan.[3] In 2012, there are an estimated 1.6 million APS parking spaces in Japan.[2]
The ever-increasing scarcity of available urban land (urbanization) and increase of the number of cars in use (motorization) have combined with sustainability and other quality-of-life issues[2][9] to renew interest in APS as alternatives to multi-storey car parks, on-street parking, and parking lots.[2]
All APS take advantage of a common concept to decrease the area of parking spaces - removing the driver and passengers from the car before it is parked. With either fully automated or semi-automated APS, the car is driven up to an entry point to the APS and the driver and passengers exit the car. The car is then moved automatically or semi-automatically (with some attendant action required) to its parking space.
With the elimination of ramps, driving lanes, pedestrians and the reduction in ceiling heights, the APS requires substantially less structural material than the multi-story parking garage. Many APS utilize a steel framework (some use thin concrete slabs) rather than the monolithic concrete design of the multi-story parking garage. These factors contribute to an overall volume reduction and further space savings for the APS.[7]
There have been a number of problems with robotic parking systems,[15] particularly in the United States.[16] The systems work well in balanced throughput situations like shopping malls and train stations, but they are unsuited to high peak volume applications like rush hour usage or stadiums[16] and they suffer from technical problems.[17] Further, parkers not familiar with the system may cause problems,[17] for example by failing to push the button to alert a fully automated system to the presence of a car to be parked.[16]
Fully automated parking systems operate much like robotic valet parking.[18] The driver drives the car into an APS entry (transfer) area. The driver and all passengers exit the car. The driver uses an automated terminal nearby for payment and receipt of a ticket. When driver and passengers have left the entry area, the mechanical system lifts the car and transports it to a pre-determined parking space in the system. More sophisticated fully automated APS will obtain the dimensions of cars on entry in order to place them in the smallest available parking space.
The driver retrieves a car by inserting a ticket or code into an automated terminal. The APS lifts the car from its parking space and delivers it to an exit area. Most often, the retrieved car has been oriented to eliminate the need for the driver to back out.
Semi-automated APS also use a mechanical system of some type to move a car to its parking space, however putting the car into and/or the operation of the system requires some action by an attendant or the driver.
By virtue of their relatively smaller volume and mechanized parking systems, APS are often used in locations where a multi-story parking garage would be too large, too costly or impractical.[7][19] Examples of such applications include, under or inside existing or new structures, between existing structures and in irregularly shaped areas.
The direct comparison of costs between an APS and a multi-story parking garage can be complicated by many variables such as capacity, land costs, area shape, number and location of entrances and exits, land usage, local codes and regulations, parking fees, location, and aesthetic and environmental requirements.
The comparison above is for building costs only. Not included, for example, is the cost of land or the opportunity cost of the use of the land (i.e. the value of the additional space made available by the smaller size of the APS). As evidence of the complexities of comparing the costs for APS and multi-story parking garages, the same author presents an actual case study [20] as follows:
In this case study, the APS also provides roughly 7,000 sq ft (650 m2) of additional open space compared to the multi-story parking garage which provides no open space and requires minimum setbacks be utilized. Other references[2][3][19][21] also indicate that the cost comparison between APS and multi-story parking garages is highly dependent on the application and the detailed design. 2ff7e9595c
