Future-proofing the PARCS at four major airports
In 2017 the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began a three-year initiative to future-proof the parking access and revenue control systems (PARCS) at four of the airports under its jurisdiction.
The Port Authority is replacing the twelve-year-old systems at John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty International and Stewart International. The contract exceeds 70 million dollars, and the backbone of this enterprise solution is Designa's ABACUS technology, already installed at numerous high-profile international airports worldwide.
Automation, scalability and future-proof systems
The primary goals were increased automation, efficiency, scalability and customer service, expanded electronic payment options, improved vehicular throughput and a state-of-the-art, future-proof solution.
ABACUS across the enterprise, rolled out in phases
The new system includes pre-booking, EZ Pass RFID functionality, numerous ticketless and ticketed payment options on entry and exit (including EMV credit card and mobile app), licence plate recognition (LPR) and centralised reporting alongside localised reporting, with the potential to upgrade to a private cloud service.
Phase one began in January 2017 with fine-tuning requirements and providing working models for review and approval. Phase two followed in 2018 and 2019 with the phased installation of the new Designa PARCS solution.
“The modular architecture and design of the new system provides the Port Authority with the flexibility to expand our enterprise and incorporate today's latest technology, as well as tomorrow's emerging technologies. Being future-proof is essential in maximising the life expectancy of our investment.”
