Portier Sonic Creating Ease of Parking in the Hub Mall, Obour City, Egypt

The Hub Mall in Obour City Egypt offers a huge variety of restaurants, cafeterias as well as shopping opportunities for its customers. To enhance the shopping experience and ease the flow of traffic within the facility, The Hub Mall has undertaken the installation of a state-of-the-art Portier Parking Guidance System (PGS).

This innovative technology aims to improve parking efficiency, reduce congestion, and provide visitors with real-time information about available parking spaces. Portier Sonic, a space-specific parking sensor with front of space installation method was chosen for this location.

As shoppers approach the mall, they are greeted by dynamic entrance signs that indicate the number of available spaces in each parking area, guiding them efficiently to open spots. The PGS utilizes Sonic sensors and dynamic LED displays to help drivers locate vacant parking spots quickly. Portier Sonic sensors monitor occupancy and communicate this information to parking guidance displays.

Benefits of well guided parking for mall visitors

• Time efficiency – with real-time updates on available parking, customers can save valuable time that would otherwise be spent circling the parking facility in search of a space.
• Reduced stress – an easy and straightforward parking experience can significantly lower stress levels, allowing shoppers to focus on their visit to the mall.
• Enhanced safety – the system can contribute to improved safety within the parking areas, as less time is spent searching for parking means reduced traffic.
• Improved accessibility – the guidance system helps ensure that disabled and elderly visitors can find suitable parking spaces more conveniently, enhancing overall accessibility.

In addition to the benefits for shoppers, the PGS aligns with wider sustainability efforts by minimizing vehicle emissions. By reducing the time spent searching for parking, the system contributes to lower fuel consumption and a decrease in carbon footprint. This makes Hub Mall an eco-friendlier shopping destination and reflects a commitment to sustainable practices.

The installation of the Portier Parking Guidance System at the Hub Mall represents a significant step forward in improving customer experience and operational efficiency. As the retail landscape continues to evolve, embracing new technologies will be crucial in meeting the needs of shoppers while prioritizing convenience and sustainability. With the PGS in place, visitors to Hub Mall can look forward to a smoother and more enjoyable shopping experience.

The project was completed with our local partner ProTech, Egypt.
