The Banks contributes billions to the local economy, including $48 million from two recent Taylor Swift concerts.
“Spanning more than a half of a mile between the Bengals Paycor Stadium and the Reds Great American Ball Park, The Banks is a destination for sports fans to downtown employees alike. The parking garage at The Banks plays a crucial role in accommodating those parkers, and our goal is to enhance their experience with our APGS,” said Coley Nash, Regional Sales Executive, Northeast.
From garage entry to open space, the APGS leverages advanced technology to streamline parking facility management and improve the overall parker experience. At the heart of the system is the M5 camera-based smart sensor, capable of monitoring up to six parking spaces simultaneously. With 99%+ accuracy, these sensors provide operators with real-time occupancy data, ensuring accurate information about space availability. Green and red LED lights on the sensors navigate parkers to the available spaces, and according to the company, can reduce the time to park by up to 63%.
“We’re pleased to be selected to partner with Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati on The Banks’ APGS project,” said Nash. “We anticipate installation completion by Q4 2024.”
The Banks’ APGS package also includes Park Alerts, which notifies operators when certain vehicles enter the building including VIP guests and persons on the blocked list; Park Finder, combined with license plate recognition (LPR) technology, assists drivers with locating their vehicle in seconds via touchscreen kiosks, a connected parking app, or a finder-enabled pay station; An API package that provides operators with a secure connection to a limitless set of third-party parking related solutions; And INX with real time dashboards and business intelligence for operators to maximize and streamline parking operations.
