Turkish city rolls out Nedap’s parking solution

Nedap and local partner Cross have teamed up to monitor on-street parking in the Turkish city of Izmir. As part of a city wide implementation of traffic management, 2,000 parking spaces have been equipped with Nedap’s wireless parking sensor system Sensit, integrated with the Cross InVipo traffic management platform.

3838 Nedap and local partner Cross have teamed up to monitor on-street parking in the Turkish city of Izmir. As part of a city wide implementation of traffic management, 2,000 parking spaces have been equipped with Nedap’s wireless parking sensor system Sensit, integrated with the Cross InVipo traffic management platform.

The system monitors vehicle occupancy of individual parking spaces and provides motorists with real-time information on available spaces via a wide network of variable message signs. In addition all paid, time restricted and disabled parking zones can be monitored.

Sensit is installed in each parking bay and also enables the city parking operator to detect vehicles abusing parking spaces or parking longer than permitted, time restricted parking and disabled parking. Understanding the usage and demand of parking spaces enables the city to roll out smarter customised parking programs in different areas in order to reduce traffic congestion and to increase the utilisation of existing parking spaces.

    San Antonio, Texas, is launching a new GPS-based bus rapid transit system (BRT) that keeps San Antonio’s new VIA Primo bus fleet on-schedule with minimal impact on individual traffic flow. Siemens Road and City Mobility business has worked together with Trapeze Group to create a new transit signal priority (TSP) solution that they say is the first of its kind to use a ‘virtual’ GPS-based detection zone for transit vehicle traffic management without the need for physical detector equipment at the intersectio

    The In-Time project is looking at the effect that multi-modal real-time traveller information services can have of reducing transport's energy consumption levels. By Martin Böhm, AustriaTech GmbH. Around the world, significant research and development effort is currently directed towards reducing energy consumption by addressing those areas where the biggest savings can be expected. European studies have shown that the transport sector has the potential to reduce its energy consumption by up to 26 per cent

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
