Smart parking solutions from Swiss-based 7366 Tinynode’s are to be added to 129 Swarco’s road safety and traffic management portfolio in a partnership that sees the technology also added to Swarco’s own traffic solutions.

Tinynode’s wireless vehicle detection systems for outdoor and on-street parking are used as part of Smart parking solutions which enable motorists to locate a free parking space.  The company says there are several million parking spaces in Europe alone that could utilise the system.  The Swarco partnership means the technology can be integrated into indoor parking management systems.

“We are very proud a leader such as Swarco chose our solution”, said Pierre Castella, CEO of Tinynode. “It says a lot about the quality of our product.”

Richard Neumann, Swarco corporate communications manager, commented: “Tinynode’s plug and play approach is very efficient: installing the sensors is quick and easy and adding them to an existing system is no big deal. We now have a reliable real-time online overview about the occupancy degree of our on-street parking spaces”.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
