Located near the French capital Paris, the innovative city Les Mureaux successfully introduced smart parking sensors to monitor parking spaces in blue zones this year.

The town is using Nedap’s wireless vehicle detection system Sensit, a network of wireless parking sensors which detect vehicle occupancy in parking spaces. The system collects parking data and shares that information with third party parking guidance, enforcement and intelligent transport systems.

Information on the real-time availability of parking spaces is transmitted to motorists via variable electronic signs which guide motorists to available parking spaces, improving the utilisation of the existing parking capacity in the blue zones. Status information can also be wirelessly relayed to a parking officer.

    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.

    Based on experience gained from its truck detection systems, Swiss company Tinynode has launched a wireless car parking detector, which can be used for off-street parking and is designed to be integrated with existing parking systems. Two models are available, the A4 which is screwed or glued on to the road surface, and the B4, which is embedded into the road surface. Both are easily installed and have a life of around ten years; batteries are easily replaced without disturbing the road surface.

  • Development of cooperative driving applications for work zones
    July 17, 2012
    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    Transport and traffic data is on the increase but there must be an integrated data highway to derive the maximum ITS benefits, argues Deutsche Telekom. From public transport operators recording increasingly precise and comprehensive data on their vehicle’s position and driving behaviour to local authorities using RFID and video systems to control traffic on their streets and highways, the amount of traffic data is growing rapidly.
