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”.

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
