In Singapore, we have these bicycle racks that are located near the MRT stations island wide. The design and concept of this bicycle racks are very simple and it saves a lot of space. User using this bicycle racks would just have to pull this retractable metal racks outward, it will then be able to be pressed downwards 45 degrees down to the floor. User then have to push their bicycles up these racks and retract the bicycle back onto the bicycle rack.

This concept, can and maybe a solution for parking lots being too small in Singapore.  Using an elevated lift with the combination of the mechanism of this bicycle racks, it could be a good idea for solving the problem.  Driver would have to park their vehicles onto the these automated car park lot, that has a retractable base in which will help move the car in and out of the lift, after parking the vehicles in, the driver proceeds to leave the car and press for the door to close. Afterwards , the parking computer system will check for the next available parking lot and bring vehicle up to the level, which will then the automated car " racks" will retract the car inwards to the lot.
