HUB: ATLWest Gets Frictionless Parking at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

 

 

 

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), North America’s busiest airport, recently opened the ATLWest deck, a newly constructed 5,000 space parking facility, and the latest project HUB completed with this long-standing client.  We constantly strive to innovate, develop and deliver new seamless and intuitive mobile solutions that smoothly integrate with daily operations and improve the user experience everywhere.

 

 

Meeting operational goals and end user expectations was paramount to HUB’s delivery of a Smart Digital Parking Solution at this new parking deck, providing a frictionless parking experience for ATL customers, including:  License Plate Recognition using customers’ LPN (License Plate Number) as a credential for entry, exit and payment; Georgia Peach Pass Tolling tag entry/exit integration and implementation; as well as Dynamic Pricing for revenue optimization.

 

 

HUB’s JPass Mobile App was deployed in a white label version incorporating ATL corporate branding to provide quick, touchless parking entry and exit with digital tickets for both airport customers and employees including a mobile payment option.  Easily locate your car with the Find My Car function and locate an open spot through integration with the parking guidance solution.

 

Balram “B” Bheodari, Interim Airport General Manager, commented about HUB’s contribution to the airport’s smart parking, mobile and digital solutions. “Hartsfield-Jackson constantly strives to provide a safe, efficient, and enjoyable travel experience for its customers. Our new ATLWest deck will allow those customers the opportunity to utilize cutting-edge technology while enjoying a fast, frictionless parking experience. We believe our guests will be overjoyed at the new options available at ATLWest.”

 

 

Airport parking operations require advanced technology-driven solutions.  HUB is proud to have partnered with ATL for 10 years in providing these revolutionary advancements.

City of Columbia MO Awards Six-Garage PARCS Project to HUB Parking Technology

 

 

The City of Columbia is a Midwestern college town and the fourth largest city in the state of Missouri.  Once a predominantly agricultural town, the establishment of Stephens College, the University of Missouri, and Columbia College which surround the city’s central business district, has shifted the main economic concern to education today.

 

 

The Columbia City Council approved HUB Parking Technology to provide and install a PARC system within its six parking garages.  HUB will help the City automate and standardize the parking system currently in place.  The barcode and EMV-ready HUB PARCS solution includes 18 lanes of equipment with payment via credit card and validation, and 12 pay-on-foot paystations allowing payment by cash and/or credit card.

 

HUB is thrilled to help the City of Columbia increase revenue, improve ingress and egress times, and provide flexible and efficient access to facility operations with our innovative and versatile JMS Management System, accessible anytime and from anywhere by using any device and a web browser.  The City will be able to count on the HUB service team out of St. Louis, MO to keep their system running smoothly.
