3776 Banner Engineering develops a whole series of sensing solutions for many different traffic and parking management applications. Products are based on a range of sensing types, including photo-electrics, ultrasound, radar and magneto-resistance.

These are combined with wireless communication modules to produce solutions for: on- and off-street parking; vehicle detection and counting for tolling and free-flow applications; control of dynamic signage, traffic signals and way-finding applications; access and exit control; and vehicle detection at electric vehicle charging stations.

The company’s indoor parking sensor uses ultrasound technology and has a replaceable 3.6V DC D-cell battery. It can be ceiling-mounted to avoid the traditional cost of installing cabling. The light node, also battery-based, flashes green when spaces are available, providing drivers with guidance. It can manage a group of three to six spaces when mounted on the side of in the middle of a corridor. The supervisory system will show a green light so long as a single space is available. This can significantly reduce installation costs while continuing to provide an effective parking guidance solution.

    Kapsch showcases vehicle-to-vehicle technologies
    Cooperative systems in which vehicles communicate with each other (vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and to the road infrastructure (V2I) and collectively referred to as V2X, will build the backbone for safe driving as well as efficient and environmentally-friendly road usage in the future. So Kapsch is very much looking to the future with its V2X demonstration at the ITS World Congress by showcasing how such cooperative communication can avoid accidents, optimise fuel consumption, driving speed and travel time.

    Panasonic demonstrates evolution of vehicle On-Board Units in Vienna
    Panasonic is showcasing the evolution of vehicle On-Board Units (OBU) which combine electronic toll collection with provision of real-time travel information to drivers. The first generation of DSRC-based OBUs launched to market in Japan back in 2001, where around 40 million are now in use. The technology is especially relevant in Panasonic’s home country, as all motorways are private and congestion is a common problem. Value-added services such as local parking information can also be accessed.
