Verona selects Nedap real-time parking sensors

Following a pilot project, the city of Verona in Italy has integrated 3838 Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors with Wes Park software from Project Automation in a bid to manage parking in the city’s narrow streets.

By introducing Nedap’s Sensit sensors, which improve utilisation of the city’s existing parking spaces, AMT, the service company managing the Verona Urban Parking Plan is now able to optimise parking.

The system consists of wireless parking sensors that detect in real-time whether or not a single parking bay is occupied and how long it has been occupied. This information is used to guide motorists to available parking spaces, which increases traffic flow in cities and decreases pollution. Parking space utilisation is also optimised and enforcement can be carried out more efficiently.

Occupancy data collected by the Nedap sensor network, combined with information acquired from existing 251 Parkeon parking meters, feeds the WesPark software of Nedap’s partner Project Automation, providing a comprehensive parking management solution.

The data enables the city to provide real-time occupancy monitoring of parking bays, which in turn facilitates guiding motorists to available parking places via multichannel applications (VMS, mobile apps, sms/mail push services), helping the city to reduce congestion, create safer streets and a more attractive city centre for visitors and residents.

    Though still controversial, ramp metering, which has been around for nearly 50 years, continues to deliver substantial benefits, and generally for relatively small cost. Kansas City is a case in point. In March 2010, Kansas City Scout, a partnership between the Missouri and Kansas Departments of Transportation to provide ITS for the greater Kansas City Area, activated the first ramp metering system in the region. The project is located on an 8.85km (5.5 mile) section of Interstate 435 from Metcalf Avenue to
