Smart Parking

Parking has been considered a problem for several decades due to the increasing number of private vehicles and the limited number of parking bays in city centers, airports, shopping malls, etc. Some of the common problems associated with parking are additional cruising, congestion, noise and air pollution, and driver frustration linked to the lack of parking bays and the time spent in finding an available space.

Abusive parking and lost parking revenues are also consequences of poor parking management: electric vehicle owners for instance often find it difficult to recharge their vehicles as the designated parking areas are occupied abusively by non electric vehicles.

The lack of available parking is a well-known issue for professional drivers too. Finding resting areas can be challenging for Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) and couch drivers, who are required to periodically stop and rest.

An efficient and reliable parking management system can thus address and solve several challenges related to car and truck parking.

Our vehicle detection sensors represent the simplest, cost-effective and reliable way to detect if a parking space is occupied by a vehicle. Our two types of sensors – Above and Under ground – can be used in off-street and on-street car parking, multi-storey parks, and electric vehicles charging stations. They support 6LoWPAN and grant over 99% detection accuracy. The sensors can stand harsh weather conditions and have a battery lasting up to 10 years. Smart Repeaters and Smart Gateways enable data collection.

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

Specific Smart Parking Sensors are available for truck and couch rest areas located along highways, in logistic districts, or dedicated facilities.
