After 15 Years Guiding Drivers, ParkHelp Renews Trust at Barcelona Airport with 13,000 Spaces Powered by State-of-the-Art Technology

Barcelona — ParkHelp has been awarded the contract to upgrade the parking guidance system in the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 garages at Barcelona Airport, deploying a unified solution that combines next-generation ultrasonic sensors and camera-based technology across a total of 13,092 parking spaces. ParkHelp’s relationship with the airport began back in 2009, when the original U1 ultrasonic system was installed. Since then, the system has remained fully operational and effective for over 15 years, guiding millions of drivers to free parking spaces with speed and accuracy. The new project marks a significant technological leap forward with the deployment of Ultrasonic 2 (U2) and C2 camera-based units with License Plate Recognition (LPR). Of the 13,092 spaces, 8,362 will be monitored using U2 sensors and 4,730 with the C2 system. ParkHelp’s unique mix-and-match approach allows the most suitable technology to be applied in each area, offering a flexible, scalable solution within one seamless platform. ParkHelp’s solution is fully integrated with the airport’s Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS), allowing users to locate their vehicle directly from the pay station. The system displays the car’s location (level and space number), shows a photo of the vehicle, and provides a map with the exact location of the parking space. This project is part of a complete overhaul of the parking system, which demands the highest technical and operational standards within the airport ecosystem. Alexis Puig, CEO of ParkHelp, stated: “We are extremely proud to have been selected for this iconic project. Successfully passing such a rigorous tender process proves that our technology meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and innovation demanded in an airport setting.

Fine Airport Parking Selects Zevtron to Power EV Charging at George Bush Intercontinental Airport Location

Houston, TX — Fine Airport Parking, a leader in premium off-airport parking services, announced that it has selected Zevtron, a cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) charging technology provider, to deliver scalable and infrastructure-friendly EV charging at its two facilities serving George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston. As part of the initial deployment, Zevtron will install 16 chargers supporting 32 EV charging ports across both garages. Each charger will be powered by Zevtron’s white- labeled operating system, which provides Fine Airport Parking total control over who can use chargers and how they can be used, while also allowing the company to monetize EV charging. Zevtron’s platform is hardware agnostic, so it can be implemented to manage existing chargers at Fine Airport Parking locations, as well as the Zevtron chargers being deployed now at George Bush International Airport. Because it’s white labeled, the platform will allow Fine Airport Parking to expand their brand into EV Charging. “Zevtron’s platform is by far the most innovative, user-friendly, and cost-effective EV charging solution we’ve come across,” said John Davey, Senior VP of Marketing and Strategy for Fine Airport Parking. “Because it’s fully customizable, it will give us complete control over how we manage and monetize our EV assets.” Zevtron is implementing an innovative low-power charging system that allows multiple vehicles to be charged from a single 40-amp electrical feed, delivering multiple-port functionality per device. This approach enables Fine Airport Parking to leverage its existing electrical infrastructure with no additional utility or infrastructure upgrades—making the transition to EV support fast, efficient, and cost-effective. This creative approach enables parking owners and institutions to “right size” their operations, providing a customized charging approach that meets the owner’s unique needs while supporting the rapid growth of electric vehicle adoption. And it makes EV charging technology much more affordable and accessible to smaller operations and owners who have experienced sticker shock in the past from the prices of legacy EV charging technology providers. “The Zevtron platform also has the scalability we need so the system will grow with us,” said Davey. “Being able to include EV charging with our reservation platform or implement pricing strategies will be extremely beneficial to us, as well as to our customers. Zevtron is giving us a turnkey solution that will allow us to easily recoup our investment because of the level customization they offer.” Zevtron’s dual-port, low-power approach represents a breakthrough in EV infrastructure that emphasizes smarter and more efficient use of existing resources. This slow-charge approach is also perfect for airports because travelers typically park for several days at a time. “Fine Airport Parking is one of America’s leading independent parking owner/operators, and we’re proud to support their EV infrastructure strategy,” said Bob Andrews, Zevtron’s founder. “Our platform is designed to offer seamless scalability, smart energy management, and powerful customization tools—making it ideal for owners and operators looking to deliver premium EV charging without breaking the grid or the budget.” Following the successful deployment at IAH, Fine Airport Parking plans to roll out Zevtron EV charging solutions at its Hobby Airport location in Houston, followed by facilities serving Denver International Airport and Tulsa International Airport. About Fine Airport Parking Fine Airport Parking is a premier off-airport parking provider with state-of-the-art facilities across the United States. Known for its customer-first approach, Fine offers high-end amenities, convenience, and security to travelers flying out of major airports. Fine Airport Parking can be found online at http://fineairportparking.com. About Zevtron Zevtron is a leading national EV software and hardware provider based in Carlsbad, California. The company’s products and services are designed to provide flexibility, manageability, and profitability to building owners, institutions, and parking owners who offer EV charging. Zevtron is the only leading EV provider to integrate its technology with leading parking access and revenue control equipment for easy and convenient EV charging management, and its hardware agnostic software platform allows owners to keep 100% of EV charging revenues.

EnSight Technologies Chosen to Provide Parking Guidance and Occupancy Management at Salt Lake City’s Largest Mixed-Use Retail Development

San Diego, CA — EnSight Technologies has been selected to implement an advanced AI-based parking guidance and occupancy management system at Salt Lake City’s largest mixed-use development, which features upscale retail, residential, and office spaces. The cutting-edge system will use EnSight’s AI-powered cameras to monitor parking occupancy on each floor and guide tenants and patrons of tenant stores to the best available parking spaces via integrated LED signage. Installation is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025. “We are excited to be providing our industry-leading parking guidance technology to this world-class development,” said Chris Scheppmann, Managing Partner of EnSight Technologies. “This is an extraordinary property and we have designed an elevated parking experience that tenants and patrons of its stores and restaurants are going to love.” The EnSight Technologies parking guidance platform will feature 81 EnSight Vision cameras to monitor parking occupancy in the development’s East and West Garages, each of which offers four levels of underground parking spanning a full city block. The cameras will transmit occupancy data to five exterior and five entry-level signs, letting parkers know where parking is available throughout the garages, as well as 48 interior wayfinding signs informing drivers of how many parking spaces are available on each floor and zone. All of the signs are edge-to-edge LED Variable Message boards, which offer full sign content customizations and high-resolution displays. The system will also feature license plate recognition (LPR) technology to inventory vehicles and monitor how long they park. Cameras at entrances and exits will be capable of monitoring stay durations and identifying vehicles that exit and reenter garages in an effort to misuse the center’s two-hour grace period. “Once implemented, the new EnSight parking guidance solution will be a significant upgrade over the property’s current loop-based count system and old signage,” said Scheppmann. “The technology has advanced by leaps and bounds since the original parking guidance technology was installed, and tenants and guests are going to love this new equipment and the improved parking experience it will provide.” About EnSight Technologies EnSight Technologies is a parking technology company that has set out to simplify parking guidance with smart technology. EnSight’s smart, simple and scalable technology ecosystem provides a cost-effective parking guidance alternative to parking owners and operators of all sizes.

All Drivers Prioritize Seamless and Easy In-Car Payment Technology, New Study Reveals

New research from Parkopedia, part of EasyPark Group, reveals that 100% of drivers surveyed in the U.S. and Germany prefer in-car payment systems that are seamless, intuitive, and easy to use - emphasizing a clear and consistent preference for streamlined, user-friendly digital interactions while driving. The findings come from the In-Car Payments UX Focus Groups Research Study, conducted by Drive Research, to better understand how drivers engage with in-car payments and identify key areas for improvement for some of the current implementations. The study results highlighted respondents’ need for simplicity when first engaging with in-car payment systems, and revealed that complicated sign-up processes risk losing a significant share of users. Complex registration was cited by 70% of respondents as a deterrent to signing up, with half reporting it would make them less likely to use the service even if they completed registration. Notably, 77% of participants rated easy enrollment as ‘very important’. EasyPark Group, parent company to Parkopedia, already addresses this need for existing app users by offering user-friendly, in-car integrations with platforms like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, helping reduce complexity for users. “The strong interest toward in-car payment solutions globally provides a better understanding of the seamless journey drivers desire," said Eugene Tsyrklevich, General Manager of Automotive & Data at EasyPark Group. “Understanding driver reactions to this technology is more crucial than ever as connected car services gain prominence. This strategic alliance between EasyPark and Parkopedia uniquely positions us to develop and deliver transformative mobility experiences that directly address the demands of today's drivers.” As the study shows, ease of use and seamless integration are essential for building trust and adoption in the connected car space. The fundamental desire for convenience and streamlined payment processes within the vehicle is a shared priority of drivers across the U.S. and Germany. Across global markets, more than 93% of participants expressed a desire for efficient in-car payment systems. A closer look revealed nuanced distinctions and further insights unique to each market: 80% of U.S. drivers would be frustrated if their in-car system didn't alert them to nearby payment options, compared to 57% of German drivers – indicating stronger U.S. demand for real-time payment notifications. 70% of U.S. drivers expressed a willingness to pay more (either upfront or via subscription) to access in-car payments.  93% of German drivers were more likely to use systems that offered savings and loyalty discounts, highlighting a preference for direct, monetary benefits.  To investigate the effectiveness of in-car payment systems, Drive Research conducted parallel market research studies in the United States and Germany between October 2024 and February 2025. Across both markets, a total of 60 participants engaged with two in-car payment systems through the process of registering and completing transactions. These experiences included parking and charging in the U.S. and parking in Germany using identical tablets that presented an existing OEM service and a proposed updated version co-developed by Parkopedia and Valtech Mobility. This research aimed to provide a unified understanding of user experiences with in-car payment technologies across these key markets.
