    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.
