Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) has selected TKH Security’s Park Assist Solution, an automated parking guidance system (APGS), to be installed in its new eight-floor, 4,688-space garage.
The airport served over 30 million travelers in 2024 and contributes an annual $18.7 billion to the regional economy.
The new smart parking deployment is designed to improve operational efficiency and deliver visibility, control and security across the facility.
“Philadelphia International Airport is a major gateway to the world and an economic engine for the region,” said Coley Nash, Regional Sales Executive, Northeast.
“We’re honored to support their mission with a parking solution that’s as forward-thinking as the airport itself.”
According to the company, at the core of its APGS smart parking solution is the M5 smart-sensor, a camera-based sensor that monitors each parking bay using dual CMOS digital cameras and HD streaming video.
This gives airport personnel eyes inside the garage at all times, empowering them with real-time surveillance, data-driven insights and immediate situational awareness.
Customizable RGB LED indicator lights also guide drivers to available spaces, reducing time to park by up to 63%, minimizing congestion and lowering the risk of traffic incidents within the garage.
The light can be programmed by space, zone, or level; most commonly green indicates available, red is occupied, blue is ADA, etc.
The company emphasizes that the smart parking system also maintains a 99%+ accuracy rate, ensuring dependable guidance and efficient space usage.
“Airports face unique demands when it comes to safety and efficiency, especially in high-traffic areas like parking facilities,” added Nash.
“By selecting the Park Assist Solution, the best parking guidance system available, PHL is gaining powerful tools to meet those challenges head-on.
“The inclusion of Park Surveillance brings an extra layer of visibility and control through real-time video monitoring in and between spaces, and the ability to record that footage and store or share it for up to 90 days.
“Combined with the rest of the Park Assist Solution, it equips the airport with the insights and tools needed to manage parking proactively and ensure a safe, streamlined experience for travelers and staff alike.
“We’re proud to be part of this transformative project, supporting the airport’s mission to deliver a smarter, safer and more connected travel experience.”
