Portier Parking Guidance Solutions Installed in Satamaparkki, Port of Helsinki

Helsinki is one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe, and the Port of Helsinki Ltd creates a seamless framework for sea traffic to destinations such as Stockholm and Tallinn. Among the strengths of the port are frequent liner traffic, efficient infrastructure, good road and rail connections, and excellent services provided in cooperation with the port’s business partners.

One important service for driving passengers arriving in the harbor area is parking. At Satamaparkki, a parking garage operated by AimoPark, it is possible to pre-book your parking space, so that you can arrive at the harbor assured that you will have an available space to park prior to getting onboard.

At the entrance of the parking facility, Portier parking guidance displays indicate the availability of parking spaces in the facility. In case the parking facility is full, the LPR (license plate recognition) camera at the entrance checks if your vehicle has a pre-booked space in the Premium parking area.

In the Premium area, Portier VISION cameras monitor parking spaces and indicate the availability of a space with green or red indicators. In the Premium parking spaces, Portier VISION cameras read the license plate of the parked vehicles and forward the information to the parking operator. Total counts at the entry and exit points are combined with the data from the VISION cameras, which then yields the total space available for the entire facility. The seamless combination of multiple technologies is a great example of the flexibility and cost-efficiency of the Portier HOST parking guidance platform.

Portier HOST supports also centralized login which allows the operator to access all its parking facilities in Finland with single login into Portier HOST, which makes parking operations extremely easy and user-friendly.
