Portier Sonic Parking Sensor Project Completed in P-Hansa Lahti

P-Hansa is a parking facility operated by Lahden Pysäköinti Oy. The facility has been renovated in two separate phases, the first floor was completed in 2023, and the second floor was finished in 2024.

The parking facility is open 24/7 and it serves customers without gates and tickets. The facility has 540 parking spaces including EV-charging possibilities and has a car wash service on the lower level. The facility serves short-term visitors and hotel guests and now that all renovations have been finished, it also serves long-term contract parking customers.

Portier SONIC^TM space specific parking sensors monitor each parking space. 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 economical 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 colors. The sensor itself is also available in different colors, so Sonic solution can either be blended with the facility’s color scheme or it can really stand out for maximum visibility.

The first phase of the installation was completed in three days. The second part of the project took only two days – Portier’s parking guidance system set up is extremely fast and cost-effective.

“Cooperation with Portier team was seamless and efficient, just like the Portier parking guidance system installed into our premises. Incorporating the Portier parking guidance system into our facility’s infrastructure has significantly improved the customer experience by reducing search time, lowering stress, enhancing the facility’s image, supporting environmental goals, and increasing safety.”

Eeva Jauro, Managing Director, Lahden Pysäköinti Oy

As customer expectations continue to evolve, businesses that prioritize such technological enhancements that Portier creates will likely see greater customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall success.
