A double-deck lifting and horizontal sliding multi-story parking garage is a type of parking structure designed to maximize parking space efficiency. It consists of multiple levels, with cars parked horizontally on each level. The design allows for the vertical movement of cars to a different level or horizontal movement to a different parking space, optimizing the use of space. Such garages are commonly found in urban areas where land is scarce. The design must consider factors like vehicle dimensions, traffic flow, safety, and structural integrity.
