Effortless Parking Experience By Portier Parking Guidance Solutions

Tampere University Hospital is a leading provider of healthcare services, research, and education in the Tampere region of Finland. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, the hospital strives to deliver high-quality care and improve patient outcomes.

There are several hospital buildings around Tays campus creating a large area of expertise in the healthcare sector.

Parking can often be a stressful and time-consuming aspect of any outing or visit. However, Portier’s state-of-the-art parking guidance solutions aim to alleviate these challenges by providing real-time information on available parking spaces, guiding customers seamlessly to their destination. By leveraging the latest technology and data analytics, Portier’s solutions ensure that every parking experience is smooth, efficient, and hassle-free.

Portier parking guidance solutions provide:

• Real-time availability: Instantly access information on available parking spaces.
• Navigation assistance: Effortlessly navigate to the nearest available parking spot.
• Reduced congestion: Minimize traffic congestion and queuing with optimized parking routes.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction: Ensure a positive and stress-free parking experience for all customers.

A new part of the hospital, called T-hospital has its own parking facility. To have a smooth and comfortable hospital visit, Portier parking guidance solutions were chosen for this facility. Portier SONIC space-specific parking sensors were installed to guide hospital visitors directly to available parking spaces. The availability status of the parking spaces is transferred from Portier HOST platform to hospital’s own application and to its website. This helps drivers to plan their travel method or parking facility, before arriving at the TAYS hospital.

Sonic is available in two different versions: one that is installed on top of the parking space, and another which is installed at an angle in front of the parking space. The latter installation method has the benefit that sensor’s LED indicators are more visible for the drivers. SONIC’s angled version is also quicker and more cost-effective to install than sensors equipped with a separate external LED indicator since such solutions require additional cabling between the sensor and the external light.

Each sensor has RGB LEDs which enables easy separation of space categories (normal, EV, ADA, family, etc) using different LED colours. The sensor itself is also available with different colours so Sonic solution can either be blended with the facility’s colour scheme or it can really stand out for maximum visibility.
