Park Assist’s Smart-Sensor System is Bringing a
New Level of Guidance to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s Parking Garage

CHESHIRE, CT – September 29^th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). As the primary commercial airport serving the Seattle metropolitan area in Washington, SEA Airport is the 8th busiest airport in the USA and the 3rd busiest on the West Coast. Spanning the entirety of its terminal, SEA operates one of the largest single-structure garages in the world, consisting of over 12,100 parking stalls. Park Assist’s M4 Smart-Sensor System will be installed in this garage to ensure that each traveler is treated to the highest level of guidance both upon entering and returning to the facility.

Port of Seattle chose to implement Park Assist’s proprietary camera-based M4 PGS to monitor occupancy and provide guidance throughout the SEA Airport garage. Designed to help parkers quickly and seamlessly locate available parking spaces within the facility, Park Assist’s M4 smart-sensor system enhances the parking experience by indicating which specific spaces are available, occupied, or premium using color-coded LED lights. This not only significantly reduces the search and park times for travelers, but it also removes traffic congestion, confusion, and frustration from the parking journey.

Along with Park Assist’s exclusive M4 technology, the Airport’s PGS will also come equipped with several software add-ons, including Park Select-Rate™, Park Finder™, Park Surveillance™, and Park Alerts™.

Park Assist’s customer-centric Park Finder software module ensures that guests can quickly pinpoint their car upon returning to the garage. Utilizing either the Park Assist mobile app or a Park Finder enabled pay station, travelers enter their license plate number into the system and are guided to their vehicle’s exact location. The Find Your Car™ locator searches a vehicle database and identifies the correct license plate number and corresponding vehicle, providing step-by-step directions on how to get to the car.

Additionally, Park Assist’s Select-Rate add-on allows parking management to easily designate spaces for premium pricing. Once a vehicle enters a premium space, the smart-sensor feeds the vehicle ID and location data to the Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS), applying the premium rate to the associated vehicle. This provides a VIP experience for the end-user and presents an opportunity for the airport to create value for frequent flyers and unlock open revenue streams.

Park Assist’s Park Alerts and Park Surveillance add-ons will be used to increase control and security in the garage. The Park Alerts software extension allows parking management to set automated rules and alerts that help staff manage awareness and control activity in the facility, while Park Assist’s Park Surveillance module enables the M4 sensors to capture streaming video of any movement in or around parking spaces, serving as a proven deterrent of criminal activities.

“Partnering with the Port of Seattle, Park Assist took a consultative approach solving for SEA Airport’s specific parking needs. Listening to Port of Seattle’s concerns, Park Assist is proud to provide SEA Airport with a Parking Guidance System built to suit its unique requirements. The M4 PGS not only provides exceptional guidance, but it also provides travelers with an exceptional experience from entry to exit, offering each guest an upgraded parking journey.” Said Will Cai, Regional Account Manager.

Design for the site has already begun, and the installation is slated to begin by Q1 2021.

Mackenzie Health Chooses Park Assist’s M4 Parking Guidance System

CHESHIRE, CT – September 16th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Mackenzie Health’s new Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, the first smart hospital in Canada, will provide state-of-the-art health care, utilizing smart technology systems and devices, while increasing access to care for the Southwest York Region community and beyond. With a keen focus on technology and innovation, Mackenzie Health will incorporate Park Assist’s advanced-tech, camera-based M4 PGS in its expanding parking facility to enhance its patient’s experience and bring next-generation guidance to the garage.

As Mackenzie Health prepares to open its second hospital site, it has chosen to implement Park Assist’s camera-based M4 smart-sensor system and wayfinding signage to optimize parking in the facility, increase patient and guest satisfaction, and reduce parking search times. This system will also come equipped with Park Assist’s new software platform, INX, helping to increase control of the garage and the Parking Guidance System.

When parkers enter the garage, they will be greeted with digital Wayfinding signage, ensuring they experience the highest level of guidance from the start. Continuously updated with information collected from the M4 sensors, these signs provide highly accurate and detailed data to help parkers make the most informed decisions. Park Assist’s digital signs indicate which levels of the facility have available parking spaces as well as how many spots are available on each level. From there, internal directional signs guide parkers through the facility to the appropriate parking area.

Park Assist’s camera based M4 smart-sensor system then completes the wayfinding loop. The bright, color-coded LED lights in the smart-sensors help parkers navigate the garage by indicating which spaces are available and which are occupied using red and green lights. This not only makes the parking process easier and more efficient for the end-user, but it helps to decrease traffic congestion and reduce the amount of time patients and visitors spend searching for parking.

“Park Assist is pleased to continue bringing an unprecedented patient experience to the Mackenzie healthcare team, alongside our Ontario-based partner, Precise Parklink.” Said Robert Wishart, Regional Account Manager, Northeast.

Working with local partner, Precise Parklink, Park Assist’s installation began in March and is set to go live this fall.

Member News: Whole Foods Market Chooses Park Assist to Elevate the Parking Experience

Whole Foods Market Chooses Park Assist to Elevate the Parking Experience

CHESHIRE, CT – September 10th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract at Whole Foods Market HQ and Flagship store in Austin, Texas. The multinational supermarket chain, founded in 1980, quickly rose in popularity thanks to its focus on quality, sustainability, and natural and organic foods. This commitment to quality also extends to the value Whole Foods places on both customer and employee satisfaction.

Whole Foods’ HQ and Flagship store sees an extremely high traffic volume, causing parking shortages within the underground garage. Employee parking is often overfilled, and team members are left searching for open spaces, costing them valuable time and gas while adding to congestion. To alleviate this unnecessary inconvenience, Park Assist offered Whole Foods the ideal solution to help accommodate and elevate its guest and team member experience.

Park Assist’s camera-based M4 PGS and exterior wayfinding signage remove all confusion from the parking journey by clearly guiding visitors from beginning to end. The exterior signs, continuously updated with real-time data, indicate the number of available spaces within each area of the facility, and enable parkers to determine the best parking location at any given moment. From there, the M4 smart-sensor system goes a step further and specifies whether parking bays are available or occupied using color-coded LED lights, so there is no more guessing.

Additionally, Park Assist’s custom mobile Park App allows Whole Foods’ team members to find open spaces and decide where to park before heading to work. Because there are several different locations designated for team member parking, the ability to predict availability before arriving is key to guaranteeing a hassle-free, no-time-wasted, employee parking experience.

“Our team is really pleased to work with Whole Foods Market, in Austin, Texas, where they started. Park Assist’s M4 technology will not only make employee parking quicker and easier, but it will also help reduce parking challenges and traffic congestion in a busy, growing downtown location.” Said Jeff Sparrow, Regional Account Manager.

The installation is set to go live by the end of 2020.

Legacy West Chooses Park Assist’s L4 Smart-Sensor System to Maximize Efficiency and Elevate Parking

CHESHIRE, CT – August 27th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been selected to install its L4 lightpipe-sensor system at Legacy West’s Block H Garage in Plano, Texas. Legacy West is the largest mixed-use retail venue in North Texas, featuring world-class shopping and dining with over 20 restaurants and eateries. As a local hotspot, this development is a high-volume destination catering to both residents and tourists. The addition of Park Assist’s L4 Parking Guidance System (PGS) will serve to ease unnecessary traffic and enhance each patron’s parking experience at Legacy West’s latest garage.

Equipped with the same technology as Park Assist’s M4 PGS, the L4 lightpipe-sensor system will help to minimize utility costs, improve visibility, and boost sustainability at this parking facility. The L4 system was designed to combine energy-saving lighting with a stress-free, secure parking experience. Utilizing an ultra-efficient LED lightpipe, created specifically for parking garages, and Park Assist’s proprietary camera-based PGS, this system uses 60% less electricity than traditional lighting. Not only does the L4 system provide energy-efficient lighting and a seamless parking journey, but it also provides all the features and functionality of Park Assist’s M4 system.

Park Assist was chosen for this exciting project due to its previous success working with Legacy West.

“We are very pleased to partner with Legacy West on our third project, bringing our innovative and advanced technology to yet another garage. We are proud to see our L4 system continuing to enhance the parking experience for visitors and residents alike.” Said Jeff Sparrow, Regional Account Manager.

The project is underway and scheduled for completion by the fall.

Member News: Park Assist Brings the Latest Parking Guidance Technology to Mohegan Sun

July 31, 2020 Rachel Yoka Leave a comment

CHESHIRE, CT – July 30^th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Mohegan Sun, located in Uncasville, Connecticut, and operated by Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE). Originally built in 1996, Mohegan Sun has grown to become one of the most popular destinations in New England. Providing two unique casinos, fine dining, world-class shopping, spas, live entertainment, and sporting events, the casino has continued to evolve along with its parking needs.

Park Assist’s parking guidance solution will replace an older level-counting system used in the Indian Summer and Riverview parking decks. Seeking a PGS that is upgradeable, dynamic, and optimizable for multiple uses, Mohegan Sun chose Park Assist’s camera-based M4 PGS to be installed at its two primary garages holding over 4,000 parking bays.

Mohegan Sun elected to work with Park Assist due to the quality and visibility of its color-coded M4 sensors, as well as Park Assist’s API integration options and advanced license plate recognition technology. Additionally, the casino was attracted to Park Assist’s ability to provide local service and directly manage the installation onsite.

Park Assist’s proprietary M4 PGS and Variable Messaging Signs (VMS) will provide casino guests with occupancy data based on specific parking bay types, such as ADA, Electric Vehicle, Standard, and Reserved Parking. Park Assist’s new VMS-NAV signs are customizable, providing a vast array of information, including the number of available spaces in specific areas, icons, and messages that enable visitors to make quicker parking decisions. From there, the M4 smart-sensor takes guidance to the next level, signaling which specific parking bays are available with color-coded LED lights.

Additionally, Park Assist’s Park Alerts™ module will provide an extra level of security to the parking decks. By enabling the casino to set automated rules and alerts that help parking staff manage awareness and control of activity within the garage, this software add-on helps create a more efficient and safe facility.

Partnering with local electrical contractor McMellon Electric, the Riverview Garage went live at the beginning of July, while the Indian Summer Garage will likely be fully operational by mid-August, just in time for the Casino’s re-opening, as traffic in the garage begins to increase.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the Mohegan Tribe on Mohegan Sun’s Indian Summer and Riverview parking decks. Our system provides both aesthetic and functional parking enhancements that will provide casino guests with the ideal experience and the team at Mohegan will benefit greatly as well.” Said Robert Wishart, Regional Account Manager.

July 8, 2020 Rachel Yoka Leave a comment

CHESHIRE, CT – July 8th, 2020 – Park Assist announces the introduction of its latest software innovation, INX. Over the last several years, Park Assist has experienced extensive growth. To meet the demands of this expansion and customers’ evolving needs, Park Assist began to reexamine its software, eager to create a user interface that could properly support and enhance its parking guidance technology. INX was built to maximize the performance of each guidance system, and advance the way it is used, designed, deployed, and maintained. Emanating from the core concepts that comprised Park Assist’s previous software, INX is a more refined and robust platform, increasing communication between Park Assist’s hardware and operating system, enhancing functionality, and changing the way users interact with their parking guidance systems.

Officially launched on July 1st, INX is a cloud-based user interface providing Management, Operators, and Marketing teams with real-time data using dashboards, historical reports, and comparative analyses to seamlessly improve the parking journey, maximize operational efficiencies and drive new revenue opportunities. This technology platform – focused on real-time data, IoT device management, ecosystem integration, and data security – encompasses business intelligence modules, service and support access, and optional applications for enhanced features and greater control.

Integrating with Park Assist’s PGS, INX enables constant communication between the system, operators, and parkers, providing an exceptional customer experience, but also an exceptional depth of information about how the garage is functioning, what adjustments need to be made to improve the bottom line, and how customers are engaging with the facility.

Gary Neff, CEO of Park Assist added, “We are very pleased to provide our existing clients a new user experience with this groundbreaking technology platform and its array of advanced features. The platform is based on our 15 years of Parking Guidance experiences and customer feedback and will be the new standard for the industry”.

Member News: Nashville International Airport Chooses Park Assist

June 26, 2020 Rachel Yoka Leave a comment

NASHVILLE, TN – June 25^th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Nashville International Airport (BNA). As one of the fastest-growing airports, BNA’s increased traffic and added service have created a demand for a new parking solution that can handle a heavy volume of travelers. Park Assist’s M4 smart-sensor system was built to improve both garage efficiency and customer satisfaction, as such BNA elected to install this PGS in two of its garages. Park Assist’s first installation is complete and the second project is underway.

After a competitive RFP process to secure the most qualified PGS vendor, Park Assist was awarded the opportunity to be part of BNA’s continued expansion by adding the latest parking technology to its garages. Park Assist’s proprietary M4 PGS and digital wayfinding signage offer BNA visitors advanced guidance from entry to exit. The color-coded M4 smart-sensor system seamlessly guides parkers through the facility to vacant spaces using red and green lights to indicate occupancy, guaranteeing reduced search and park times, and decreased traffic.

This installation will also include several of Park Assist’s advanced software add-ons, such as Find Your Car^™, Park Alerts^™, and Park Surveillance^™. Park Assist’s unique Find Your Car feature, created with the customer experience in mind, enables travelers to quickly locate their vehicle upon returning to the facility by entering all or part of their license plate number into a Park Assist kiosk or mobile app.

Park Assist’s Park Alerts and Park Surveillance software add-ons were designed to help increase control and security in the garage. The Park Alerts software extension allows parking management to set automated rules and alerts that help staff enforce policies and remain informed about parking abuse and policy violations within the garage, while Park Assist’s Park Surveillance module enables the M4 sensors to capture streaming video of any movement in or around parking bays. Because the M4 cameras have unobstructed views of each parking bay, as well as the space in between vehicles, they can successfully capture all action in the garage, serving as a proven deterrent of theft and other criminal behaviors.

“Nashville International Airport has been an incredible site for us as we continue to expand our projects in the airport sector and the Nashville market. This is our second major project with the airport and we are delighted to be a part of the BNA vision to help renovate its facility and deliver the best experience for all airport visitors,” said Thomas Alexander, National Channel Manager.

Partnering with GC Messer Construction, site installation is scheduled for completion by the end of June.

June 10, 2020 Rachel Yoka Leave a comment

NASHVILLE, TN – June 10^th, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Nashville’s Music City Center. This 2.1 million-square-foot convention complex opened in 2013 in the heart of downtown Nashville. The facility was primarily built to host large city-wide conventions. Attracting local and national events, Music City Center has continued to evolve while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and exceptional customer service.

With this evolution, came a significant rise in visitors as well as increased traffic and congestion in the parking facility. To accommodate this traffic, the Music City Center chose to implement Park Assist’s exclusive M4 smart-sensor system to elevate each customer’s parking journey and ensure that their outstanding experience starts in the garage.

Park Assist’s camera-based PGS uses color-coded smart-sensors to navigate parkers to the nearest available space, reducing parking search times while removing stress and uncertainty from the journey. In addition to this M4 technology, the Park Assist guidance system also includes exterior monument signs at the garage entrances and two of Park Assist’s select software extensions, Park Finder^™ and Park Alerts^™.

Utilizing Park Assist’s License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology, Park Finder ensures that the Music City Center’s visitors will be able to easily pinpoint their vehicles upon re-entering the garage. This technology, complemented by Park Assist’s mobile API access, enables returning parkers to find the exact location of their vehicles by entering their license plate number into the Find Your Car^™ system. This advanced software system then directs the parker to the correct spot, optimizing the parking experience by minimizing wasted time and unnecessary frustration.

Music City Center will also use Park Assist’s Park Alerts module to enforce parking policies, increase garage productivity and security, and reduce compliance violations. Parking management will be able to establish and implement automated rules and alerts. If these rules are violated, Park Alerts will immediately notify management so they can promptly take the appropriate action.

The Music City Center installation is one of Park Assist’s first convention center projects in North America and its fifth major project in the Nashville area. Its other local sites include Nashville International Airport, Fifth and Broadway, Capitol View and 222 Second Ave.

“We are honored to work with Nashville Music City Center to help deliver a first-class parking experience for all guests and visitors at this bustling convention center.” Said Thomas Alexander, National Channel Manager, North America.

Park Assist was selected for this exciting opportunity due to its proven history of success, strong local presence, and ability to help accommodate the facility’s growth.

Member News: Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport Chooses Park Assist

June 3, 2020 Rachel Yoka Leave a comment

LOUISVILLE, KY – June 3^rd, 2020 – Park Assist® has been awarded the Parking Guidance System (PGS) contract for Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF). Just 10 minutes from downtown, the International Airport supports over 4 million travelers per year with a high-volume of both passenger and cargo traffic. Park Assist’s M4 smart-sensor system will serve the airport’s 3,000 space parking structure. With the goal of enhancing the user experience, the Louisville Regional Airport Authority was eager to install a PGS that offered predictability and security, as well as a VIP parking journey for each patron.

Park Assist’s camera-based M4 PGS will monitor occupancy on levels 2 and 3 of the garage, while the S1 outdoor solution will be used to calculate rooftop availability. Along with the M4 and S1 technology, Park Assist will also install its state-of-the-art, digital Variable Messaging Signs (VMS). The VMS-NAV signs enable parking facility operators to create and broadcast an expansive set of custom graphics and digital messages in a variety of different colors. Coupled with split screen, scrolling, and toggling capabilities, these digital signs display a vast array of occupancy data, enabling visitors to make informed decisions upon their arrival at the entry lanes.

As wayfinding signage guides users to appropriate parking areas within the garage, Park Assist’s exclusive M4 smart-sensor system amplifies the guidance experience by indicating which specific spaces are available, occupied, or premium using color-coded LED lights.

Additionally, the airport’s PGS will also come equipped with several add-on features. Integrating with TIBA Parking Systems, Park Assist’s customer-centric Park Finder™ software module ensures that guests can easily pinpoint their vehicle upon returning to the garage. Utilizing either the Park Assist mobile app or a Park Finder enabled TIBA pay station, travelers are guided to the exact location of their vehicle. The Park Finder Find Your Car™ locator scours a database of vehicles in the garage and identifies the correct car, providing step-by-step directions on how to get there.

Park Assist’s Park Alerts™ and Park Surveillance™ add-ons will be used to increase control and security in the garage. The Park Alerts software extension allows parking management to set automated rules and alerts that help staff manage awareness and enforce parking policies in the facility, while Park Assist’s Park Surveillance module enables the M4 and S1 sensors to capture streaming video of any movement in or around parking spaces, serving as a proven deterrent of criminal behaviors.

“Park Assist is committed to providing each traveler at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport with accurate, real-time information that will help inform their parking decisions and further reduce friction on both sides of the customer journey. At the forefront of a world connected by technology, Park Assist is committed to creating an end-to-end experience through our PARCS system integrations and additional API capabilities,” said Robert Wishart, Regional Account Manager, Northeast.

Working with local partner, United Electric, Park Assist’s site work is set to begin this month and is slated for completion by September 2020.

“We are proactively preparing for the return of our customers and this technology will significantly improve the parking experience at SDF,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director for the Louisville Regional Airport Authority.

Prior to the planned work at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, Park Assist has been a coveted addition to several other major airports throughout the United States and Canada. Park Assist’s continued and proven success, as well as their growing technological capabilities and dynamic pricing integrations were key factors in Louisville Regional Airport Authority’s decision to install the M4 and S1 parking guidance systems.
