The research aims to determine the optimal design aspects of the automated vehicle parking and its areas in relation with the residential and commercial use in Dubai by studying the five cases or projects of automated parking downtown the city of Dubai, also analyzing the urban indicators including capacity, main floor area, number of floors and the total estimated area, the number of entrance and the exit cabins and the time of vehicle retrieval. The research reached the conclusion that the total capacity of automated parking is proportional with the number of entrance and exit cabins, the main floor area, the total area designed for parking (all floors), and the number of elevators. The new general indicator proposed to assess the automated parking efficiency by the number of vehicles for each floor (vehicleliftloor) showed a total rate of (15 vehicleliftloor) in all cases of the research. The research showed the fact that the automated parking in Dubai can hold up to 60% more than conventional parking buildings and the occupation area for the single vehicle is (25 sq. m) in comparison with (42 sq. m) for the parking total constructional area conventional parking areas. It also reached the ratio of automated parking area to the residential and commercial usage building according to urban and constructional aspects and indicators
