Westfield Mall of the Netherlands Enhances Parking Guidance Experience with TKH Security
Location: Leidschendam, The Netherlands
Client: Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW)
Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, officially opened in March 2021, is a premier lifestyle and shopping destination featuring over 280 retail stores. With three indoor car parks and more than 2,500 parking spaces, the mall sought a smart, customer-friendly parking management solution to ensure a seamless visitor experience.
Challenge
The mall faced several challenges typical of large retail destinations:
- Managing thousands of parking spaces efficiently across multiple garages.
- Reducing visitor frustration caused by long search times for parking.
- Ensuring smooth traffic flow and congestion-free operations.
- Providing easy vehicle location services for returning visitors.
- Integrating multiple parking management systems into a single, user-friendly interface for staff.
The goal was to deliver a frictionless parking experience while optimizing operational efficiency.
Solution
TKH Security implemented its M4 Smart-Sensor Parking Guidance System (PGS), delivering immediate and measurable benefits:
- Faster Parking, Enhanced Experience: Color-coded LED guidance directs visitors to available spaces, reducing search time, stress, and congestion.
- Park Finder: Using LPR (license plate recognition) technology, visitors can easily locate their vehicles via pay-station kiosks with step-by-step directions, enhancing customer convenience.
- Park Alerts: Automated alerts based on time and license plate rules allow staff to respond quickly to violations, improving control, security, and operational oversight.
- FLINQ Dashboard: Integrates barriers, intercoms, surveillance, and PGS into a single, intuitive dashboard, enabling centralized monitoring and management, reducing complexity for staff.
- Operational Efficiency: By streamlining parking operations and integrating all systems, the mall ensures maximum throughput, minimal congestion, and better traffic management.
