Ahead of what is typically a busy travel season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Charleston International Airport in South Carolina, US, has opened its new 3,000 space parking garage.
The new facility features multi-space parking guidance sensors, rooftop parking sesnors, internal wayfinding and external signs along the road and the entrance.
“When we planned for this new garage, it wasn’t simply about adding more spaces, we wanted to make sure our customers could locate an available space faster and have a more enjoyable parking experience,” said John Robison, Manager of Landside Operations. “The addition of the parking guidance system accomplishes that goal.”
The new garage is also the largest parking structure in the region to feature the parking guidance technology, which was installed by Parking Guidance Systems, LLC, who have already installed this system in several airports across the US. “We worked closely with Charleston Airport officials and the building contractor to make sure the system not only met their design needs, but performance demands as well,” said Derek Frantz, VP at Parking Guidance Systems.
Featuring five levels, the car park has a dedicated level for rental cars on the first level, while two to five where the parking guidance technology has been deployed, are for the general public to use. The multi-space sensors and wayfinding signage allow the traveller to quickly choose a level and parking space based on their desire. The roof level also features INDECT Views, the latest in rooftop parking technology, for a similar experience.
