Reimagining parking at PHL garages A and B
Your trip begins long before you reach the gate. It starts the moment you pull into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). In those moments, the last thing you want is to circle endlessly looking for a parking spot. That’s why we’ve reimagined parking in garages A and B to make the start of your journey smoother than ever.
With PHL’s new Automated Parking Guidance System (APGS) finding a space has never been easier. Overhead lights guide the way—green for open, red for full, blue for accessible—helping you navigate the garage smoothly and smart monitoring and CCTV coverage making parking more secure. It’s a small change with a big impact, setting the tone for a calmer, more connected start to every trip.
Real-time tracking for parking space availability in overhead lights and digital signs makes finding a spot faster and reduces congestion.
Sensors not only track space availability but also enhance visibility across key pedestrian paths and high-traffic areas, strengthening situational awareness and response time.
Reducing guesswork and improving coordination, internal teams can more easily identify issues and manage traffic flow.
How it works
Find your parking spot 63% faster with the easy color light system and digital signs noting the number of available spots.
