The Worlds Largest Parking Guidance System
Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S) has been chosen to equip the multi-storey and underground car parks at Terminal 1 of Munichs Franz Josef Strauss airport with the Sipark parking guidance system. The target is to equip 9,150 parking spaces with individual space monitoring and integrate a central parking space management system by the year 2009. Sipark has been in operation in Terminal 2's multi-storey car park since August 2001. So the worlds largest parking guidance and management system encompassing more than 15,000 integrated parking spaces is currently in the making at Munich Airport. The project is worth 1.7 million.
An ultrasound sensor will be installed above every parking space in the multi-storey car parks at Terminal 1, to detect reliably whether the parking space is occupied or not. This information will be transmitted to the central parking space management system, informing the operator how many and which spaces are free at any given moment. As soon as a vehicle passes through the car park entrance the guidance system directs the driver reliably along the shortest route to the next available unoccupied parking space. Around 200 dynamic LED display panels will be installed throughout the multi-storey car parks for this purpose and be connected to the management system via a Simatic S7-based controller.
Aside from individual space monitoring, the solution installed at Terminal 1 will also include zone and aisle counting. This means the system will avoid guiding too many drivers into a sector that only contained a few unoccupied spaces when the car entered the car park. Current occupancy of the multi-storey car parks is displayed on electronic information panels on the access lane to assist drivers with their decision on the way to the terminals.
Sipark is currently being installed at seven air-ports, including Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn and Toulouse.
