Our seamless wayfinding: State-of-the-art sitewide parking guidance

The quality and customer-friendliness of a parking facility are often overlooked by many properties. However, the parking experience can be used to elevate the first impression for valued guests and visitors, to set their expectations for the remainder of the visit, and to enhance a property’s overall brand-building strategy.

The Park Assist Solution approach to parking guidance technology is to minimize a parker’s stress and uncertainty from the process. The overarching goal is to provide a seamless and stress-free experience for each parker— from initial entry to an open space to exit — while improving overall traffic flow through a facility or a set of facilities.

Next-generation smart parking guidance at every key decision point

Through the unique synergy of our M5 camera-based smart-sensor parking guidance system and customizable wayfinding signage, parkers are treated to a higher level of guidance and convenience from the moment they arrive — along with valuable follow-up guidance at every key decision point.

Signs upon arrival. For properties with multiple parking areas, a multi-facility sign announces the number of available spaces at each parking garage or surface lot. This continually updated intelligent guidance information enables parkers to determine the best facility to park in at any given moment.
Secondary signage within a chosen garage. Once a parker has decided to park in a specific garage, a dedicated monument sign displays the number of available spaces on each level.
Directional interior in-aisle pointers. Once a parker has committed to searching for a space on a particular level, these guidance signs enable a parker to make on-the-spot decisions (left, right, or straight) based on the number of available spaces.

LCD-NAV

Our LCD-NAV signs are both dynamic and customizable for real-time content updates. This unique signage solution delivers maximum value to Operators, Marketers, and Management teams, catering to the ever-changing needs of their parking facility and empowering their customers to make the best parking decisions at a glance.

Increasing customer engagement by the minute

Utilizing LCD-NAV signs in an automated parking guidance system, you can easily engage and attract greater attention from customers by providing up-to-the-minute content updates at all entry and exit points. LCD-NAV communicates critical information more effectively with dynamic content changes. Whether it’s providing guidance to potential parkers, alerting your customers of garage maintenance, or onscreen branding/promotional initiatives, the LCD-NAV enhances parking guidance, increases garage efficiency, and taps into additional revenue opportunities.

Advanced technology engineered to simplify the design

Save time in signage design by accessing pre-built templates to customize your screen. Through TKH Security’s content management system, users can change colors, add a company logo, and display dark or light themes that are effortlessly deployed at the touch of a button. Take greater control of your content with this powerful screen editing feature.

Reliable remote operation

The LCD-NAV features a weatherized commercial-grade 49” or 55” outdoor LCD display. With a full HD1080p resolution, this parking guidance system component is ideal for outdoor use, with a bright and crisp display, even in direct sunlight. The web-based content management system enables the unit to be configured and monitored remotely, so you can stay connected with your customers at all times. The LCD-NAV outdoor display is an all-in-one plug-and-play solution and the latest innovation in smart parking solutions.

VMS-NAV

Full-matrix LED displays for unprecedented design freedom

When it comes to messaging and design flexibility, automated parking guidance system (APGS) wayfinding signage has long been constrained by the limits of 7-segment inserts. With the new full-matrix variable message sign (VMS) inserts, parking facility operators now have free rein to create and broadcast an expansive set of digital messages — including detailed RGB custom graphics — in millions of colors.

A fine-detail palette for maximum messaging flexibility

Compared to typical inserts, our VMS-NAV’s LED matrix brings far more versatility and resolution to the picture. This active area can be populated with dynamic 24-bit RGB text and icons instead of a limited set of predefined messages and graphics. Millions of colors/gradations enable signage to be tightly aligned with brand and architectural palettes. Enhanced brightness pixels, continuously adjustable, are of particular benefit for outdoor signage.

With generous-sized characters for exceptional readability, our advanced LED displays are software configurable and have high brightness for outdoor use. The high-quality construction of these durable inserts also keeps detrimental dust and water away from sensitive electronics.

Easy installation, setup, and maintenance

Antiquated signage protocols in use today date as far back as the 1950s. VMS inserts from TKH Security are engineered to use current-day Ethernet protocols with DHCP-enabled connectivity. This greatly simplifies installation and operations while reducing related costs. Technicians can also be easily trained to configure inserts across the network, compose customized sign libraries, and quickly troubleshoot connectivity issues that may arise.

Ready for our sign enclosures or standalone units

Our modular VMS-NAV inserts are sized for ready insertion into enclosures across our varied signage portfolio. Retrofit opportunities are also possible, depending on the individual parking management system scenario.
