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.

    As part of the Pozuelo Smart City project and to improve the usage of the new and existing parking capacity in the city, Madrid in Spain has implemented a new system which reduces search traffic by guiding motorists to free parking spaces. The real-time parking data is integrated with the Smart City platform from Wairbut, a CISCO certified partner. The city is using Nedap’s parking sensors which detect parking bay occupancy in real-time. Information on current availability is transmitted to the Pozuelo Smar
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi offer new options for travel time measurements
    November 20, 2013
    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
