ANPR-based parking enforcement specialist SCANaCAR is using Intertraffic to launch ScanAuto, which fits into a normal passenger car, and the ScanCAM AC integrated camera and communication system.
ScanAuto is equipped with a sub-35cm accuracy GPS and other detection equipment to determine exactly where a vehicle is parked and can check if that vehicle is illegally parked. Both the camera and lighting modules attach to the rear seat windows (with other equipment in the back of the car), allowing parked ve
Stationnement de Montreal, which manages parking for the City of Montreal, Canada, has announced a project with smart parking solutions provider Streetline, with the aim of reducing congestion and increasing parking availability ion the city.
Already deployed in more than 40 locations in both the US and Europe, Streetline's patented smart parking platform detects the presence of a car through a network of ultra-low power wireless sensors located in the pavement of individual parking spaces. Data from th
Commuters in Wellington, New Zealand, will be able to pay and simply walk away from their cars as part of the new ‘pay by space’ parking trial in the city.

A team of senior electrical and computer engineers from Rice University in Houston, Texas, has developed a new parking technology called ParkiT, with the aim of making it easier to find a parking space in a crowded car park.
The team claims the new system is cheaper than sensor technology currently being used and would provide car park managers and attendants with real time information on available parking spaces. That information could then be shared with drivers through electronic signs or a driver-fri
