The APGS will be located in CUH Garage B of UTSW campus’s newest edition – the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital. Opened for patients in 2020, research and innovation are the foundation for the medical center’s patient-centered care. CUH Garage B, a 950-space facility accommodating both visitors and staff, will soon join CUH Garage A in housing the latest in parking technology.

“Since installing the AGPS in garage A, our patients and visitors praised their parking experience. Adding it to garage B was an easy choice,” said Senior Operations Manager Rick Harbaugh. “With the systems, we’re able to maximize occupancy, enhance security, and utilize the data to adjust parking operations to meet driver and medical center needs.”

Visitors, patients, and their families will have the means to efficiently find an available parking space with TKH Security’s new smart-sensor M5 camera-based APGS. Each smart-sensor can monitor up to six parking spaces simultaneously. The bright, red and green colour-coded LED light on the smart-sensors instantly visually direct motorists to available spaces. Reducing time to park by up to 63%, the APGS will help patients arrive to their appointments quickly.

“It’s been great working with UTSW over the past few years and we are excited to be installing our system at another site. It shows the commitment TKH Security has to our existing customers, providing exceptional technology and services,” said Regional Account Manager Jeff Sparrow. “I’m delighted to have our company selected for this project.”

UT Southwestern Medical Center’s APGS package also includes Park Surveillance to capture streaming video when motion is detected in or around a space, or continuously if desired; Park Alerts, which notify operators when certain vehicles enter the building including VIP patients and visitors; LCD NAV signs to provide up-to-the-minute parking space availability for drivers;  And, INX with real time dashboards and business intelligence for operations to maximize parking facilities.
