The Cloud-based forecasting and pricing solution will enable the airport to optimise capacity for 18,830 parking spaces, which is said to be the largest source of revenue for the airport.
IDeaS Car Park RMS uses SAS analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep machine-learning to deliver optimal demand-based, dynamic pricing decisions supported by a 365-day future view of parking demand.
The new system will supplement the ParkRDU parking reservation system, which was launched at the airport in the middle of the last year. It will enable the airport to sell the right product to customers at a suitable price and time.
Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority president and CEO Michael Landguth said: “IDeaS has the technology and expertise necessary to help us make informed decisions, shaping more effective marketing strategies, sales programmes and overall airport parking revenue management. We are fortunate to have a renowned data-analytics partner right here in the Research Triangle.”
