Boomerang’s Robotic Valet Parking System touted as a safer alternative to conventional parking garages

Posted on | November 17, 2011 | No Comments

One of the hurdles that must be overcome with developing parking structures is meeting and/or exceeding fire codes.  Atlantic City has seen its share of fires in parking garages that can present serious risks to life and property.  After reviewing Boomerang’s new  ‘Robotic Valet Parking System’, Fire Chief Dennis J. Brooks, of the Atlantic City Fire Department, wrote “this new parking system [Boomerang System]  offered a number of safety features that cannot be achieved by the current conventional parking facilities.” He pointed out that the main feature he found attractive to the fire service was “the fact that each vehicle is locked, unoccupied and turned off while it is being stored and retrieved.” He goes on to say “It is my belief that as long as this system is installed as recommended and in accordance with all the building and fire codes, it offers a safer and more controlled environment than a conventional parking facility.” “I see this robotic parking system as reducing that risk.”

We’d like to thank Fire Chief Dennis J. Brooks for his observations.
