Cheshire, CT – June 4, 2024 – Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have selected TKH Security (formerly Park Assist) for implementation of our automated parking guidance system (APGS) in their Golden Glades Multimodal Transportation Facility (GGMTF). This state-of-the-art facility located in North Miami caters specifically to the needs of residents and daily commuters.

The GGMTF serves as an efficient transportation hub for a diverse range of transportation modes. This unique facility encompasses 910,000 square feet, six levels of garage parking, and surrounding surface lot parking. Our APGS, the Park Assist solution, will monitor more than 2,100 spaces.

While Miami is widely known for its booming tourism industry, which earned it the title of “North America’s Leading City Destination” in 2023 from World Travel Awards, the city is so much more than that. Miami, FL is a major commerce center, with a strong international business community, and the second largest metropolis on the East Coast. As such, Miami-Dade County places the utmost importance on taking care of residents just as much as tourists, even down to the parking facilities.

Miami-Dade County and FDOT embarked on this municipal enhancement to create a seamless, secure, and upgraded Park & Ride facility where parkers can feel safe. Installation of the Park Assist solution is just one of seven technology-driven enhancements helping to reach this goal.

“Miami-Dade County has been a client and partner for many years. We were selected for this project thanks to our relationship and the successful implementation of our parking guidance solutions in five of their existing municipal garages,” commented Thomas Alexander, Regional Account Executive, Southeast. “We’re thrilled to be expanding our camera-based smart parking solution to one of their largest and flagship transportation facilities in Miami-Dade County.”

At the core of the Golden Glades Multimodal Transportation Facility’s automated parking guidance system is the camera-based M5 smart sensor. Each M5 sensor is outfitted with two CMOS digital cameras, positioned to monitor up to six parking spaces (three on each side) from above the driving lane. With over 99% accuracy, the M5 sensor includes a customizable full-spectrum RGB LED indicator, offering thousands of color options to signal occupancy, different types of parking spaces, and more. This system optimizes traffic flow and alleviates congestion in and around parking structures, reducing the time it takes to park by up to 63%.

The Golden Glades Multimodal Transportation Facility’s automated parking guidance system (APGS) package also includes:

• VMS-NAV digital signage strategically placed at entrances and key decision points throughout the garage, providing advanced messaging capabilities and assisting parkers with wayfinding,
• The S2 smart sensing solution crafted specifically for monitoring rooftops and surface lots,
• Park Surveillance to boost the safety and security of the facility by providing operators with HD streaming video 24/7 and the ability to store recordings up to 90 days,
• Park Finder to quickly locate a parked vehicle,
• Our proprietary INX platform, designed to collect detailed data, allowing operators to deeply understand both real-time performance and historical trends,
• And an API integration powering a mobile app which allows residents to determine parking garage space availability counts and more.

The installation of the Park Assist solution in the Golden Glades Multimodal Transportation Facility is currently underway and is due to be completed in Q1 2025.

Thanks to Solares Electrical and Miami-Dade County for their collaboration on this project.

Spanning 500m², the space will consist of eight rooms: Building, Mobility (Parking & Metro), AI, Prison, Hospital, On & Offshore, Smart Manufacturing, and Airport. All rooms will be interconnected with an AI brain situated in the middle. In these spaces, TKH Group and TKH Security products will be showcased as solutions for each scenario!

Grand Opening

After the summer, we will celebrate this milestone with our partners during a festive day. More information will be shared soon.

Visitor management isn’t just a check-in process; it’s a pivotal element in modern access control and security strategies. With the global market projected to grow in this area from USD 1.6 billion in 2023 to USD 3.0 billion by 2028 (https://lnkd.in/eBWPvThw), organizations recognize its significance as a fundamental part of Access Control as a whole.

Why It Matters

• Enhanced Security: Efficient visitor tracking means you always know who’s on your premises, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
• Streamlined Access: Because users can manage and invite guests themselves, modern visitor management systems, when combined with personal mobile devices, eliminate the need for chaotic sign-in sheets. This streamlined process not only saves time and resources but also enhances the visitor experience while maintaining a high level of security.
• Customized Access: Tailor access permissions to different visitor types, times, and locations, ensuring they only reach authorized areas, whether it is a conference room or a secure facility.

Visitor management isn’t about checking people in; it’s about securing your space, enhancing efficiency, and adapting to the evolving needs of our connected world.

What was your Role in Project ATLAS?

As R&D Manager, I was the founder of ATLAS and had overall responsibility for the entire development team and product strategy. From the beginning I was the bridge between our team, stakeholders, partners, and management – responsible for setting up the new self-organising team and implementing the Agile processes.
 
Once this was realized, my role changed to Business Owner with focus on the market and release strategy of the proposition.

How is ATLAS different (Idea and technology wise from what’s out there?)

ATLAS is our access control system as a service which allows Employees, System Administrators and Visitors to manage building access. Its simplicity and seamless user experience comes from its complete integration with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID!

Simplicity, usability, and scalability are the fundaments of the product – and we really believe that we’ve created a unique solution that aligns with the challenges, trends and technological demands of the modern workforce – for today and tomorrow.
 
We call it simply – access at hand.

Where do you see ATLAS fitting? Any standout industry?

There is a significant need for ATLAS in modern offices, multi-tenant buildings, universities, and co-working spaces to be able to manage user access and invite visitors through mobile, without the need for system admin assistance. Of course, it’s not just limited to these environments. The world is changing rapidly, and along with technological advancements, new trends, and the influence that COVID-19 has left, digital transformation is taking place everywhere.

What was key for you in overcoming the challenges in the project?

A good team spirit built on trust and respect. Providing a safe and inspiring environment for the individual to learn by allowing them to make mistakes and explore their talents supported by a solid Agile process. This way of work enabled innovation within the team which resulted in overcoming all the challenges we faced during the developments of the product.

What was your favourite moment/achievement within the project?

My favourite moment was the presentation of the 2021 Christmas Proof of Concept. That was the first moment that we showed the company our new platform and the way it works. How we presented it was completely new in our company and we really showed our innovative capabilities there.
