A leading Australian supermarket chain has chosen 3838 Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking guidance system to provide accurate information on parking space availability for the car park at its headquarters in New South Wales.

Local company Holman Engineering implemented a solution which uses optical sensors above each parking bay to determine the status of the indoor parking spaces, while Sensit was used to monitor o monitor occupancy of the outdoor parking bays.

Sensit uses surface-mount wireless parking sensors that detect in real-time whether or not the individual parking bays are occupied and for how long. The sensor is a vehicle detection sensor features dual detection technology to provide accurate detection and is glued on to the surface of parking bays, enabling easy installation.

Real-time parking bay occupancy information on is displayed on several displays along the road leading to the car park, indicating the number of available parking bays.  

The web interface on the Holman system provides a graphical representation of the status of the car park and enables the user to create a range of different reports.

    The University of Alabama has installed Nedap’s uPass Reach long range UHF readers in a bid to improve traffic flow at its parking facilities for its over 33,000 students and employees. Due to the nature of class scheduling, the university experienced a large rush hour coinciding with class times and needed a solution that could improve parking throughput without sacrificing the security of their facilities or the oversight of their pay-for-parking registration system.

    Visitors to Intertraffic are amongst the first to see the new surface-mounted version of Libelium’s Waspmote Plug&Sense smart parking device which senses if a parking bay is occupied. The new version can be installed in about five minutes which, according to the company, means six of the surface mounted units can be installed in the time it would take to install one of the traditional in-road units.

    Hitting an animal on a rural road can be fatal for all parties involved – but detecting and avoiding them requires clever technology. Andrew Williams carefully scans the horizon for details. Wildlife-vehicle collisions are an ever-present threat in rural areas around the world, and there is certainly nothing funny about suddenly finding an angry moose in your headlights on a sharp bend. A variety of detection and avoidance systems are currently in use or under development to help prevent your vehicle being

    September 6, 2017
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.
