Smart Truck Parking

Truck Parking Management is becoming more and more important
to address the problems of parking shortage and road safety.

City Challenges

The lack of available truck parking is a well-known issue for professional drivers. Finding resting areas can be challenging for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers, who are required to periodically stop and rest. Most service areas on the highway tend to be overcrowded, forcing HGV drivers to park in unauthorized areas, raising safety issues.​

Logistics areas face similar problems, as HGVs need to have a clear pattern for maneuver, resting, loading & offloading operations. Coaches dedicated to tourists in urban areas also encounter problems when accessing dedicated parking bays for maneuver, tourists pick-up/drop-offs, and resting areas for the drivers.

Benefits of our Solution

Our Smart Truck/Coach Parking solution can locate and pin-point safe and secure rest areas to professional drivers, optimize the whole process of loading/offloading in dedicated parking bays, and support tourism by providing a better experience for coach drivers. Once installed, our Smart Parking Sensors can monitor vehicle occupancy in truck, logistics, and coach lots and transfer data to a centralized management system.

The information about parking availability can be shared in real time with drivers through variable message panels, dedicated mobile apps, or onboard truck infotainment systems. This allows drivers to plan their rest in respect of hours-of-service rules, appreciate safe rest areas, and minimize risks for their own security, as well as for other people and vehicles.

Our Solution in Detail

Smart Parking Sensors Under ground can be easily installed in HGV resting parking areas and detect vehicle occupancy. The information is sent to a Centralized Management System (CMS) or third-party application.  Highway operators can seamlessly integrate our solution with mobile apps, variable message panels and traffic guidance systems to inform drivers about real-time parking availability information and directions. The same information can be used by touristic coaches or logistics for better coordinated loading and offloading manoeuvres.

Hardware security module and strong data encryption features ensure data protection, safe storage, and trusted network communication. Security features are available without additional cost.
