In a tender organised by the airport authorities, Emitel was selected to design and launch an intelligent parking space management system for the Wojciech Korfanty Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice.
As part of the contract, Emitel implemented an innovative smart parking management system using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology at the newly built P4 Car Park at Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice. The system included the installation of 760 parking sensors compatible with the LPWAN communication protocol, which enable automatic and remote measurement of parking space occupancy. This provides motorists with 10 information boards indicating vacant spaces in individual aisles and three boards indicating the general availability of spaces in the car park. Data is sent to a web server and users can access the information via a web application and API. Emitel supplied and implemented the software for the system, together with the transfer of lifetime non-exclusive licences. In addition, it will provide maintenance for five years, covering maintenance of the infrastructure as well as of other system components and software at all times.
“The implementation of this project at Katowice Airport is another step in our mission to provide smart and efficient technological solutions that meet the needs of modern cities,” said Maciej Staszak, Vice President of the Management Board of Emitel S.A. “We are pleased to be able to contribute to raising the standards of passenger service at one of Poland’s most important airports, while confirming our position as a leader in the provision of advanced technological solutions,” Maciej Staszak added.
The project included the deployment of sensors to monitor parking availability, information boards and the necessary network and equipment.
