Automated parking system installed at short-term tenancy site for fee-paying public car park in Sham Shui Po commences operation (with photos)

The Transport Department (TD) said today (April 30) that the automated parking system (APS) in a short-term tenancy (STT) car park, located at the junction of Tung Chau Street and Yen Chow Street West in Sham Shui Po, has commenced operation.

This is the third APS project in an STT car park that the TD is taking forward. The tenant has adopted a four-layer puzzle stacking system APS, which is currently the tallest of its kind in Hong Kong, to further increase the number of parking spaces and spatial efficiency. The tenancy, with a fixed term of five years and thereafter half yearly, was awarded in February last year.

The TD added that the Government will examine the feasibility of adopting an APS when inviting tenders for new STT car parks or carry out re-tendering for existing STT car parks. By drawing on the experiences from APS projects at Hoi Shing Road in Tsuen Wan, Pak Shek Kok in Tai Po, and Tung Chau Street in Sham Shui Po, the Government will have a better grasp of the factors affecting the feasibility of introducing an APS at different STT car parks such as financial viability, obstruction by underground utilities, and whether the sites will be taken back shortly for long-term development.

The Government will continue to take forward APS projects to consolidate its experiences in building, operating and managing different APS types and the associated financial arrangements. This will pave the way for wider APS applications in public car parks in the future.
