Traffic Characteristics Evaluation in Personal Communication Systems with Bernoulli User Sources

A simple and relatively inexpensive containerized vehicle storage system for holding self-parked vehicles. In one embodiment, the system includes a building housing having an upper level and a lower level, with the lower level being situated below level of vehicle entrance into the housing. A plurality of containers are positioned in at least two vertically stacked columns in the housing. Each container is identically configured, and includes a weight tolerant structural shell. The shell is formed by a floor, sidewall and roof arranged to define a shell entrance and an oppositely situated shell exit to permit respective entry and exit of a vehicle into and from the shell of the container. The shell is typically configured to support the weight of a conventional automobile positioned inside the shell, and further support a stack of about ten similarly loaded and configured containers. Optionally, the shell entrance and shell exit are identical, with the vehicle exiting by backing out from the shell entrance/exit. In this embodiment, the container can include an integrally formed endwall positioned opposite the shell entrance. Endwalls of containers in a first column are positioned adjacent to shell entrances of containers in a second column.
