[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] Hoban Construction announced on the 22nd that it will introduce a 'smart parking navigation' system in the upcoming residential complex 'Hoban Summit DMC Hills.'

Hoban Construction will apply 'Watchmile,' developed by the startup Vestella Lab with which it is collaborating, to the new apartment complex. Watchmile is currently operating in locations such as Seoul Station parking lot, KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 parking lot, and Cheonho Station public parking lot, and 'Hoban Summit DMC Hills' will be the first case of application in a newly built apartment complex.

Watchmile is the world's first service to guide drivers to the optimal parking spot inside indoor parking lots, which are GPS shadow zones. It provides real-time parking status and available parking space information based on video and AIoT data.

Watchmile users receive services such as △guidance to the optimal parking spot △confirmation of parking spot occupancy △availability of electric vehicle charging facilities △location tracking of parked vehicles. This service reduces drivers' parking time by more than 70% and significantly decreases fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

Meanwhile, Hoban Construction is striving for smart construction through open innovation. Vestella Lab, awarded in the 2021 'Hoban Innovation Technology Contest,' has been continuously promoting open innovation projects with Hoban Construction.
