Challenges for Parking Applications

M-GAGE-DX80N9X1WOPOZDT---Parking-Lot

Each parking application is unique, from off-street parking to underground parking to complex facilities with a combination of parking lots, ramps, or underground garages. 

Many parking applications depend on accurate vehicle counting to reliably verify when a garage is full, many require reliable sensing in order to activate a pay station, and many can benefit from systems that direct drivers to available parking spots. 

It is therefore important to match the right technology to meet the demands of the application.  Some technologies, like ultrasonic sensors, are best suited for covered parking applications where they are sheltered from the elements that can negatively impract sensing function. 

Other technologies, like wireless magnetometers, excel in harsh outdoor conditions.  In some cases, an application could benefit from multiple redundant technologies to achieve the desired level of precise detection.

Solutions to Common Parking Applications

Direct Retail Customers to Available Parking

Vehicle Detection at a Shopping Center

Application: Reduce vehicle congenstion and encourage customers to stay by making it easy to find available parking spaces. 

Challenges:  Prolonged searches and long waits for parking spaces has a negative correlation with time and money spent at the center, as well as on overall customer experience and the frequency or likelihood of return visits.

Solution: Working with a local integrator, a dynamic parking guidance system was implemented at the center to clearly show where parking is available.  The system uses a variety of Banner vehicle detection sensors deployed in a SureCross® wireless network. 

Benefits: Implementing a parking guidance system made it easier for motorists to access the shopping center and improved their overall experience. Less time spent looking for available parking translates into visitors spending more time and money at the center.

Verify Permitted Vehicles at a Charging Station

Vehicle Detection for Street Parking

Application: Detecting the presence of shared electric cars at a charging station is necessary to prevent non-permitted vehicles from parking at these stations.

Challenges: The outdoor environment can be challenging for many vehicle sensing technologies.  Vandalism is also a risk due to the public location. 

Solution: A high sensitivity radar sensor detects the presence of vehicles at a charging station.  If the car is not plugged into the charging station, a signal is sent to a central location, alerting authorities to remove the vehicle if necessary. 

Benefits: Radar sensors are not affected by weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance in all seasons.  The sensor can be installed inside the charging station to reduce the risk of vandalism.

Identify Available Spaces in a Parking Ramp

Vehicle Detection for Indoor Parking

Application: Helping motorists to quickly find available parking can minimize traffic congestion and vehicle emissions in confined and enclosed underground parking garages. 

Challenges: The diverse configurations of underground facilities can challenge the effectiveness of many parking guidance systems.  Wired systems are costly and require significant work under the concrete. 

Solution: A wireless system of sensors and indicators a simple, cost-effective solution that enables motorists to quickly find available parking in underground parking facilities.  Wireless ultrasonic sensors detect whether a vehicle is present in a parking spot, and wireless indicator lights visually direct drivers to available stalls.  

Benefits: Ultrasonic sneosrs can be mounted directly on the ceiling of a parking garage to identify the presence of a car in the parking space below.  Furthermore, a wireless solution enables rapid deployment in any parking facility with minimal downtime and no costly cable runs.

M-GAGE

Wireless Magnetometer

Il sensore M-GAGE utilizza la tecnologia di rilevamento passivo per rilevare oggetti ferrosi di grandi dimensioni, come i veicoli a motore. Il sensore M-GAGE rappresenta una valida alternativa a sistemi a spira induttiva e non richiede un modulo di controllo esterno.

  • Progettato per minimizzare gli effetti dovuti alle variazioni di temperatura e alla fluttuazione dei campi magnetici
  • Il sensore apprende le condizioni ambientali e memorizza le impostazioni in un supporto non volatile
  • Tecnologia FlexPower alimentata da una singola batteria al litio integrata nella custodia
  • Trasmettitori-ricevitori per la comunicazione bidirezionale tra gateway e nodo, compresa la trasmissione di dati con conferma
  • La custodia completamente integrata e sigillata contiene la batteria, il sensore e l'antenna, per una soluzione completamene wireless

DX80 Series

Wireless Ultrasonic Node

Il nodo sensore a ultrasuoni wireless è l'ideale per l'uso in parcheggi interni.

  • Il sensore può essere installato direttamente nel soffitto del garage o del parcheggio per identificare la presenza di una vettura nella piazzola sottostante.
  • Rileva oggetti fino a 4 metri di distanza
  • La batteria D-cell integrata riduce il costo dell'installazione eliminando la necessità di utilizzare cavi o canaline.
  • Progettato con funzioni di compensazione della temperatura, con funzionalità di misurazione della temperatura integrate
  • Trasmettitori-ricevitori per la comunicazione bidirezionale tra gateway e nodo, compresa la trasmissione di dati con conferma
  • Soluzione wireless robusta e realmente completa: la custodia con grado di protezione IP67 NEMA 6 contiene batteria, sensore e antenna

QT50R Series

Radar Sensor for Vehicle Detection

Sensori radar ad alta sensibilità, ideali per funzioni anticollisione a bordo di macchinari mobili, quali reach stacker, carrelli elevatori e veicoli da miniera.

  • Il radar FMCW (True-Presence) di quarta generazione è in grado di rilevare oggetti fissi e mobili
  • Elevata sensibilità e portata maggiore
  • Campo di misura regolabile: ignora gli oggetti posti oltre il setpoint
  • Impostazione e configurazione facili dei parametri di portata, sensibilità e uscita grazie a DIP switch semplici da usare
  • Le funzioni di rilevamento non sono influenzate da vento, pioggia, neve, nebbia, umidità, temperatura dell'aria o luce
  • Il sensore funziona nella banda di telecomunicazione ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) e non è richiesta alcuna licenza speciale
  • Custodia robusta con grado di protezione IP67, adatta per condizioni ambientali ostili
