Nedap’s wireless parking sensors installed at Belgium’s major port

The Port of Antwerp, Belgium, has deployed Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors to provide accurate real time parking space information in the car park for the ‘Havenhuis’ office building. With a large and modern underground facility, the building offers enough parking spaces for both its 500 employees and visitors. Nedap’s smart parking system was chosen to not only provide drivers with real time information on the number of spaces available but to guide them to available spaces on arrival. The Se

The Port of Antwerp, Belgium, has deployed 3838 Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors to provide accurate real time parking space information in the car park for the ‘Havenhuis’ office building.

With a large and modern underground facility, the building offers enough parking spaces for both its 500 employees and visitors. Nedap’s smart parking system was chosen to not only provide drivers with real time information on the number of spaces available but to guide them to available spaces on arrival.

The Sensit wireless surface-mount sensors are installed in individual parking spaces in three zones of the parking facility for electric cars, disabled parking spaces and general parking spaces.

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g
