Dutch company 3838 Nedap has installed its parking sensors as part of the Polish Tristar intelligent transportation systems (ITS) project, which aims to improve congestion, parking and public transport information in the Polish cities of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, known as Tri-City.

Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors detect the occupancy of an individual parking bay in real-time. Parking solutions integrator Green Center deployed the cities’ parking guidance system utilising Nedap’s Sensit wireless parking sensors, which detect the occupancy of an individual parking bay in real-time. The parking guidance system uses this real-time information to guide drivers to available parking spaces via dynamic signs along the roads.

According to Nedap, implementing its sensors with Green Center’s parking guidance system had improved the traffic flow in the Tri-City, delivering less congestion and pollution while optimising parking and enforcement.

Locations on both the East and West Coasts of the US are scheduled for early deployments of IBM's new Traffic Prediction Tool (TPT) statistical analysis model for the fine-time resolution and near-term prediction of road flow conditions. Developed by IBM's Watson Research Laboratories, TPT is designed to analyse data from the the key detection indicators - average vehicle volumes and speeds passing a location in a given time interval -

    David Crawford mines the potential of joined-up parking. Drivers conventionally see parking as an isolated, often frustrating, action; but collectively their attempts to find a space impact hugely on traffic flows. But new analyses of parking events look set to deliver real benefits to motorists and cities alike. Initiatives getting under way around the world are highlighting the advantages of connecting up parking events and – eventually - parked cars. The hoped-for results include not only enhanced urban

    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat

    UK company Smart Parking Technology has begun the installation of 225 RFID-equipped SmartEye vehicle detection sensors, linked via SmartLink data transmitters, in some of Cardiff’s central parking hotspots. The company’s SmartPark system is intended to make it easier for drivers in the city to find a parking space, enabling them to make better informed decisions about their parking location and seek parking in less occupied streets close to their desired destination. Drivers will also soon be able to
