Smart Garage

The Smart Garage Technology System installed in the garage is designed to direct passengers to available spaces thereby reducing time spent searching for an open space. The system integrates a series of count stations that tracks vehicles and open spaces throughout the garage. Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) display available space information to the user.

Each level is marked with a Texas-native wildflower and a corresponding color scheme to help passengers remember where they parked. In addition, special pull tags are placed by the entry for passengers to take so they can easily locate their vehicle after a long trip.
