ADNEC Group Launches Smart Parking System to Enhance Visitor Experience
ADNEC Group, a Modon company, has introduced a state-of-the-art Smart Parking System at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. The innovative solution is designed to enhance the experience of more than 3 million visitors annually, including exhibitors and event organisers, by providing seamless, digital parking management from arrival to departure.
The system incorporates internationally recognised technology and an integrated digital framework that simplifies parking processes across the entire facility. With advanced features, such as high-definition vehicle number plate recognition, real-time space updates, and contactless payment options, ADNEC aims to significantly reduce congestion and improve venue accessibility.
Smart Infrastructure for Streamlined Operations
Upon entry, high-resolution cameras automatically capture license plates and generate digital parking tickets within seconds. Real-time message displays guide visitors to available parking spots, minimising delays and eliminating the frustration of searching for space.
Ahmed Al Obaidli, Chief Operating Officer at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, said:
“The introduction of the smart parking system reflects our efforts to enhance the overall experience for every visitor to ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. By integrating advanced technologies and streamlining access and payment processes, we are not only improving convenience but also supporting the efficient flow of large-scale events. This system is part of our broader strategy to deliver intelligent infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of our exhibitors, delegates and the wider community.”
The smart system is designed to support smooth traffic flow and optimise event operations, allowing organisers and attendees to focus on their event experience without logistical concerns.
Multiple Payment Options for Visitor Convenience
Visitors have access to 17 tap-and-go terminals throughout the venue, while QR code-based mobile payment options offer added flexibility. The system supports a wide range of payment methods including:
-
Mastercard
-
Visa
-
American Express
-
UnionPay
-
Apple Pay
-
Google Pay
-
Cash via self-service kiosks at major exit points
For added ease, digital parking tickets can be pre-booked and stored on mobile devices, including Apple Wallet. Registered vehicles benefit from automated entry and exit using number plate recognition—eliminating the need to open windows or interact with barriers.
Powered by ADNEC’s Internal Fibre Network
The entire solution is powered by ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi’s internal fibre optic network, which links hundreds of system components across the facility. This smart parking upgrade is a core part of ADNEC Group’s broader effort to modernise venue operations and elevate service standards for event organisers, exhibitors, and attendees.
A Commitment to Smart Innovation
This initiative reflects ADNEC Group’s ongoing investment in smart infrastructure and operational excellence. From digital ticketing and real-time guidance systems to streamlined access and mobile payments, every element of the new system is designed to support a smoother, more efficient visitor journey.
