To counteract these inaccuracies, the airport decided to implement an individual bay monitoring system inside the parking facilities. The airport wanted to provide users with highly reliable and accurate information. The only way of doing this was by installing a bay monitoring system that monitors each and every parking space. The airport’s main objective was to reduce the time that it took for a motorist to find a parking space.
Phase 1 & 2 of the Intelligent Parking system has been successfully implemented with 12,000 individual bay sensors and over 300 internal aisle boards. The stakeholders’ (operators and the public) perception and feedback to this deployment has been very positive. As part of this implementation, an integrated software suit has been deployed for the operations room, which includes Intelligent Parking (the parking guidance software), Intelligent NETworks (sign, camera, traffic sensors and device monitoring software) and Intelligent Incident (incident management software). Most importantly, the software and systems that have been installed all conform to the NTCIP open standards. In the future, any additional ITS deployments can be undertaken on a “plug and play” basis.
