Hyundai AutoEver announced on the 6th that it has signed a business agreement with Korea Airports Corporation to provide parking services and convenience for airport users. The aim is to enhance parking convenience for domestic airport users. Korea Airports Corporation manages 14 airports nationwide, excluding Incheon Airport.

Under the agreement, Hyundai AutoEver and Korea Airports Corporation will prioritize the construction of precision maps for indoor parking lots at five airports: Gimpo, Gimhae, Cheongju, Daegu, and Jeju. Based on the maps obtained, Hyundai AutoEver will introduce a service to guide airport users to indoor parking lots. This service will be available through the navigation systems of Hyundai Motor Group vehicles, including Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis.

According to Hyundai AutoEver, the service can guide users not only to the location of parking lots but also to specific indoor parking spaces. Users can set a specific parking area as their destination via the vehicle's navigation system, and if the area is full, it can guide them to the nearest available parking space. Last year, a similar agreement was signed with Incheon International Airport Corporation for indoor parking guidance. Currently, Hyundai AutoEver provides indoor parking lot map services for Incheon International Airport's Terminal 1 (T1). By the end of this year, it plans to offer map services for Terminal 2's indoor parking lot as well.

Seo Dong-kwon, Executive Director of Hyundai AutoEver's Navigation Business Division, stated, "Based on the navigation software (SW) technology accumulated over the past 20 years, Hyundai AutoEver will provide differentiated services to customers using domestic airport parking lots." Meanwhile, Hyundai AutoEver has been developing software that can apply indoor maps to navigation systems to improve the convenience of using indoor parking lots, where accurate GPS measurement or internal route identification is challenging. Since a higher level of accuracy is required compared to general roads, more precise positioning technology is essential. To this end, the company operates vehicles equipped with LiDAR, cameras, and high-precision positioning devices and collaborates with companies and institutions to secure indoor parking lot maps and develop and build precision maps, thereby expanding related services.
