Parking management in the cloud simplifies control and management

Germany-headquartered Designa will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to highlight Real Cloud Technology for managing the operation of parking facilities. The company claims to be the global technology leader in the parking industry, with its Abacus and Slimpark products. Now, using the latest technologies and many years of experience in operating networked system structures, Designa is offering its Real Cloud model as a service to parking operators, from individual garages to major worldwide networked facilities.

Germany-headquartered 34 Designa will use Intertraffic Amsterdam to highlight Real Cloud Technology for managing the operation of parking facilities. The company claims to be the global technology leader in the parking industry, with its Abacus and Slimpark products.

Now, using the latest technologies and many years of experience in operating networked system structures, Designa is offering its Real Cloud model as a service to parking operators, from individual garages to major worldwide networked facilities.

According to Designa, the reasons for using its Real Cloud Technology are clear. Conventional car parks require a dedicated server to manage and control their operations. With Real Cloud it is possible to network every facility together via the internet internet on a central, specially protected server. For large operators who are interested in networking several car parks, that server management makes it possible to grow more quickly than their competitors do.

Another benefit is that parking operators also gain from the fact that all systems have access to the most state-of-the-art software, since all updates are automatically carried out for all connected systems. This saves time, money and means security for the operator. Moreover, as a result of the centralisation it is possible to monitor every connected facility worldwide at the same time.

Designa points out that its Real Cloud Technology is a proven system: more than 300 parking facilities are currently using this emerging technology, handling up to 6.3 million visitor vehicles per month.

    Canadian researchers Olivier Quirion-Blais, Martin Trépanier and André Langevin have developed an algorithm to determine the most efficient routes for snow ploughs and gritters. Snow plough routing has always been something of a ‘black art’: to direct a fleet of show plough to clear priority roads without having the same road cleared several times while others are left untreated. Increasingly, GPS is being used to track the routes the clearing vehicles have taken but until now it has not been possible to ta

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
