8315 Park Assist, part of the TKH Group, will highlight parking innovations at Intertraffic Amsterdam including the Find Your Car Interface and the M4 Smart-Sensor System which has now been deployed in 20 countries around the world.

With the Find Your Car locator feature in Park Finder, all a driver has to do is enter his/her licence plate number. In seconds, the core system scours a database of currently parked vehicles – which were identified through the integrated Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) unit when they entered a space – to provide the exact location and directions to get there.

Meanwhile, the camera-based M4 Smart-Sensor System puts processing intelligence right at the parking space level. Each individual sensor has the ability to stream surveillance video to a management system, while also sending rich data for the company’s integrated licence plate recognition (LPR) and occupancy tracking.

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe

    Jason Barnes considers the social and ethical ramifications of using in-vehicle safety technologies to fulfil enforcement functions. Although policy documents often imply close correlation between enforcement, compliance and safety – in part, as a counter to accusations that enforcement is rather more concerned with revenue generation – there is a noticeable reluctance among policy makers and auto manufacturers to exploit in-vehicle safety systems for enforcement applications. From a technical perspective t

    If you want to get up to speed on the main issues facing the transport sector and tolling companies, ASECAP Study Days event in Ljubljana was a good place to start. Colin Sowman reports (Photographs: Louis David). Increasing populations, ever-higher technical and safety requirements, and electric and hybrid vehicles will provide both challenges and opportunities for tolling companies. The annual Study Days event organised by ASECAP (the European association for tolling companies) examined all of these aspec
