SAN ANTONIO TX, (September 23, 2019) HEB has again chosen the INDECT parking guidance system to feature at their new premium store at Meyerland Plaza, San Antonio. This will be the fourth installation of an INDECT parking guidance system at HEB stores.

 

 

Thanks to the resounding success of the first three INDECT installations at Bellaire, The Heights and Washington Avenue in Houston, Meyerland customers will soon be able to experience hassle-free parking as well as HEB’s popular curbside pickup/delivery program for themselves.

HEB’s curbside pickup/delivery program offers customers the convenience of being able to order their groceries online or by phone and collect them on their way home or at their earliest convenience.

“We’re pleased to be working with HEB again because it’s projects like this that show the versatility of the INDECT system,” said Dale Fowler, President of INDECT USA.

“Most parking guidance systems are limited to the detection and direction of vehicles within a parking garage but an INDECT system can be customized to solve almost any parking problem.” said Fowler.

The HEB curbside pickup/delivery program is a good example of how INDECT can be adapted for non-standard parking applications. In this case, INDECT used their proprietary software to create a simple loading management system that functions seamlessly alongside the INDECT parking guidance system installed in the main garage.

The installation will be managed by parking guidance experts, Parking Guidance Systems (PGS).

“The introduction of INDECT parking guidance to HEB stores has been a great success.” said Derek Frantz, Business Development Manager at PGS. “Traffic now moves freely in and out of the garage and customers are able to collect their groceries without delay.”

According to Frantz, the customer simply drives to the undercover curbside delivery area and parks in the first available space. This triggers the INDECT sensor to change the light above the bay from green to red, while also sounding an alarm in the delivery area.  An HEB employee then personally delivers the groceries and loads them into the vehicle.

“It’s a testament to INDECT’s reliability and performance that our clients keep coming back to us with additional projects.” said Frantz.

Australian Train Stations are on the Right Track with INDECT Parking Guidance Systems

Australian Train Stations are on the Right Track with INDECT Parking Guidance Systems

 

 

 

Sydney, AUSTRALIA (June 3, 2019) INDECT Australasia, in collaboration with Access Parking Control Pty Ltd, jointly announces the installation of their world-class parking guidance system at four newly constructed train stations in North Western Sydney, Australia.

 

 

A total of 1849 ultra-sonic, single-space sensors were installed at Cherrybrook Station, Bella Vista Station, Kellyville Station and Hills Showground Station as part of the NSW Government’s $7.3bn rail project.

 

“What we’re seeing in Australia is part of a world-wide trend to make parking garages near train stations and public transport hubs more efficient and user friendly.” said Dale Fowler, President of INDECT USA and CEO of INDECT Australasia. “If it’s quick and easy to find a space it encourages more people to use public transport rather than relying on private vehicles.”

 

“Greater public transport use means fewer cars on the road, less traffic congestion in urban areas and a substantial reduction in greenhouse emissions.” said Fowler.

 

The parking guidance installation was carried out by locally-based, parking guidance experts, Access Parking Control.

 

“It was a huge project with a short deadline. Our technicians worked hard to ensure it was completed in time for the big opening.” said Jim Morris, CEO of Access Parking Control. “We’re really pleased with how it looks and the initial feedback from commuters has been very positive.”

 

The Sydney Metro Rail Project is Australia’s first fully-automated train system. The driverless passenger trains are manufactured by French rail transportation experts Alstom, and based on the international metro trains currently used in 25 cities worldwide, including Singapore, Barcelona and Amsterdam.

 

The new trains run through purpose-built tunnels allowing them to travel at speeds up to 100km per hour. The entire system is constantly monitored by highly trained personnel in a state-of-the-art control centre that receives real-time footage from the 230 security cameras placed within the tunnels.

 

To ensure commuter safety, the metro network functions as a completely closed system with no external connections to Sydney’s other rail networks. Each platform has glass screen doors to keep people and objects away from the edge and allow the trains to get in and out of the station much faster.

 

 

INDECT’s ultra-sonic sensors were placed directly above the individual parking spots giving commuters a clear view of all available spaces. Different colours indicate the space’s status: green for available and red for occupied. The lights are clearly visible from a distance with additional LED wayfinding signs directing drivers to the nearest available space.

 

“When you’re rushing to catch a train, you don’t want to waste time searching for a parking spot, you just want to drive in, park and go. Especially now that the trains are fully automated, there’s no waving to the driver to get his attention. If you’re late, it’s gone.” said Morris

 

For most passengers, the new North West Metro line is only part of their morning commute. Any delay caused by searching for a parking spot could mean they miss their next connection. Parking guidance helps ease the stress of that early morning rush.

 

“It’s a really exciting time in Australia’s rail history and we are proud to be part of such a visionary public transport project.” he said.
