129 Swarco Traffic is to provide traffic solutions and smart technologies to deliver parking guidance across the University of Warwick’s campus in the UK city of Coventry.

Tony Gillings, project manager at Swarco Traffic, says the technologies will “help the University to effectively manage its car parks and provide university staff and visitors with the necessary guidance and information they need to park safely and efficiently”.

Swarco Traffic will supply an initial 42 parking guidance signs to display parking space availability at the campus. The deployment will also include seven car park counters and inductive loops that record the vehicles entering and exiting the car park as well as two full colour matrix RGB signs which indicate road closures.

The company says its intelligent Zephyr solution will allow users to manage the signs and set the messages remotely from any location.

The initial project works are expected to be completed by the end of July.
