The Korea Airports Corp. (KAC) launched a real-time vacant parking spot guidance service Monday at Gimhae International Airport and Cheongju International Airport, using TMAP, Korea's leading mobile navigation platform.
The service covers the P1 and P2 outdoor lots at Gimhae — also known as Busan's main airport — and the second passenger parking lot at Cheongju.
Drivers using TMAP are automatically switched to a "parking mode" upon entering a lot, displaying live availability data without requiring any additional app installation.
KAC developed the data system last year, processing and standardizing vacant-spot information collected through CCTV cameras, LiDAR scanners and ultrasonic sensors already installed across its airport parking facilities. This year, it partnered with T-MAP Mobility — the SK Telecom affiliate that operates the TMAP platform — to integrate that data directly into the navigation app.
