Project Snapshot

JCU Cairns Campus

Holman Engineering designed and installed a parking guidance system for James Cook University's Cairns campus to help students and staff find available parking efficiently. The system calculates availability by monitoring vehicle movements at entries and exits and displaying the results on campus signs.
