Abstract (en)
An area (1) is defined by a fixed border (2) located at the same height of the side frames of pallets (3) in order to limit and guide them. On each pallet (3) a car (4) can be loaded, or another object to be parked, such as a machine, a piece of furniture, etc. The pallets (3) are alike, independent from one another and self-propelled, arranged according to a plurality of rows and of columns on the area (1). The pallets (3) have substantially rectangular shape and are capable of moving according to two orthogonal directions, i.e. the rows and the columns. For their manoeuvre spaces (5) are left free, each corresponding to the surface covered by each pallet (3). On a pallet (3) a car (4) is loaded or unloaded in a zone (6) of the area (1) that can be used as entrance or exit, near to which pedestrian platforms (7) are provided for getting on or of the car (4). The pallet are self-propelled, by means of electric steering drives on board and are independent from one another. Step movements in the two orthogonal directions are controlled by a send-receive computing fixed unit. <IMAGE>
