Eco Cycle Mitaka2

Mitaka has been modernising its bicycle transport policy over the last 5 years, these include new initiatives to promote bicycle use on the congested streets of Mitaka, especially on the south side of the station where there are at least 9 bicycle parking lots, providing nearly 6000 bicycle parking spaces. The site visited on this opportunity has 1700 bicycle spaces of which 260 consist of zigzag profile double deck tier racks. 1440 bicycle spaces are divided on 8 underground towers, each tower able to contain 180 bicycles maximum.
Each of the towers has a top access where users place their bicycles on a rail-platform, insert prepaid AC cards and then the internal system pulls the bicycles inside and places the bike on an available rack. The mechanism is basically a cable crane. The racks are laid out on a carousel shape
