Whether

as self-sufficient parking facility or as functional element of shopping facilities, business centres, educational institutions, hospitals, event and leisure facilities,

as an underground car park or surface building,

as a car park with ramps or as a compact automated parking system,

as a new or existing building,

the success of a parking facility will be assessed on the grounds of its user-friendliness and economic efficiency. The optimal location as well as the integration into the existing urban and traffic infrastructure are the guiding principles of our traffic planning of parking facilities.
