The following technologies are typically used in parking guidance systems. These can be tailored to suit the requirements of the particular airport.
1) Dynamic Message Signs: Electronic signs are used to provide information on parking availability in the different facilities. These can be used both externally and inside the garage to display level availability.
2) Zone Boards: Electronic signs that guide users within the parking facility to the
correct aisle by displaying the number of bays available in each aisle and directing the motorists with green arrows.
 3) Ultrasonic LED Sensors: Electronic sensors used to detect vehicle presence using
ultrasound technology. The sensors display bay availability using colored LED lights.
4) Wireless Outdoor Sensors: Outdoor sensor that detects vehicle presence using a
magnetometer. The sensor can either be surface mounted or embedded in the ground.
5) Central Software System: Provides an interface for operators to:
• Manage parking processes and availability
• Place messages on the electronic signs
• Log data for reporting and analysis
