The University of Twente in the Netherlands has recently installed a new parking management system on the campus in an effort to optimise traffic flow. The UTwente system combines 3838 Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors and Vialis’ Vivaldi traffic management system to provide real-time parking detection and parking guidance.

Nedap’s Sensit system consists of wireless parking sensors that detect parking bay occupancy in real-time. This information is used to drivers to available parking spaces, decreasing the amount of search traffic, reducing the pollution on the campus and optimising parking utilisation.

Parking guidance signs, placed at several locations around the campus, provide real-time occupancy status of the parking areas equipped with Sensit sensors to guide drivers to available parking bays.

    Audi deploys smart parking
    The Audi factory in Ingolstadt, Germany has deployed a smart parking system developed by Spanish company Urbiotica in a bid to optimise parking and reduce congestion in its 5,000-space car employee car park. The system utilises 22 U-Flow wireless parking sensors installed at the car park entrances and exits. These detect vehicles entering and leaving each parking sector and display occupancy data on information panels in real time, guiding drivers to free spaces and reducing congestion.

    Smartphone solution for parking performance
    Automated parking offers optimised space utilisation and fewer damage complaints as David Crawford discovers. As cars become smarter, technology designed to make parking them more straightforward is developing in parallel. In turn, it is becoming clear that the places where vehicles spend much of their time will need to respond – more comprehensively than by supporting established aids such as smartphone-based parking location and reservation, or payment for time used.
