6340 Swarco Traffic Americas is to install new parking guidance technology in a ten-level parking garage for Monarch Casino Black Hawk in Black Hawk, Colorado.

The system involves a combination of single space monitoring as well as indoor and outdoor garage variable message signage. Each parking space will be monitored by 1,265 state of the art ultrasonic sensors above each parking space to detect vehicles as they park. Vacant spaces are indicated by LED lights. Space availability data from the sensors will transmitted to variable message signs on the approach to and inside the garage, effectively cutting search times by 50 per cent or more and significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Installed during construction for the new garage, 129 Swarco says the embedded sensor design is the first of its kind in America as well as the sleekest available. The LED space availability lights have a 360-degree viewing angle and RGB multi-colour LEDs which can be changed remotely. Monarch plans to use unique colours for each category of parking space – electric vehicle charging, VIP, valet parking, handicapped spaces, etc.
