ISTANBUL, May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- INDECT
Electronics and Distribution announces the completion of the
world's largest camera-based parking guidance installation at
Istanbul iGA Airport in
Turkey.
An unprecedented 3,300 Upsolut sensors covering more than 16,000
spaces and 550 wayfinding signs have been installed in five
interconnected garages.
"This was a really exciting project to be involved in," said
Ingo Herwich, Chief Operations
Officer at INDECT Electronics and Distribution. "Istanbul Airport
is a remarkable architectural accomplishment, and it was important
that the parking experience was just as impressive. We are proud to
have been chosen as the leader in our field."
Located 35 km from the city center, Istanbul Airport is one of
Turkey's largest construction
projects to date. Current capacity is 90 million passengers
annually with a single terminal; the airport expects this figure to
increase substantially to 200 million passengers when Terminal 2 is
complete. This would make Istanbul Airport not only the largest
airport in the world but also the busiest, surpassing Atlanta
Airport at 104 million passengers annually.
"The five parking garages are interconnected so that when
motorists drive through, it appears to be one giant garage. It is
easy to feel overwhelmed in such a big space, so it was extremely
important that the sensors were accurate and the signage layout was
intuitive," said Herwich.
"The iGA installation team were a breeze to work with. They
installed more than 3,000 sensors and all the signs within three
months. It's the quickest rollout of so many sensors and signs that
I've ever seen," he said.
The Upsolut camera system uses LPR technology to assist
travelers to find their vehicles using INDECT's advanced car
locator function within the iGA Airport app. The app also displays
the current parking status of each garage, as well as shows the
number of available spaces on each level. The app is available for
download from both iOS and Android stores.
"To ensure complete data privacy, the car locator database has
been securely installed on the airport's own cloud system and can
only be queried when a user is connected to the airport's WLAN. The
level count and space availability features are available at all
times," Herwich said.
According to Herwich, the INDECT system software is fully
virtualized within the airport's data center, and an interface to
the PARCS, installed by Turkish Parksistem LLC, allows users to
securely view their car's location when paying for parking.
Istanbul Airport has joined the rapidly growing list of airports
across the world who choose to rely on INDECT parking guidance
systems This brings the total number of global airports featuring
an INDECT parking guidance system to 15, with another two still
under construction.
