Spanish company 8323 Urbiotica will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 to launch a long-range communication version of its U-Spot parking sensor that provides better design, optimised roll-out cost, improved detection algorithm and a new data platform.
A highly sophisticated parking sensor system from Urbiotica is said to offer improved connectivity through its inclusion of the latest technology. The U-Spot 3.0 sensor features both LoRaWAN and NB-IoT protocols, which ensures dependable communications in real-time. The new U-Spot 3.0 sensor also incorporates a low-energy Bluetooth module that delivers reliable local connectivity, allowing maintenance tasks and network configuration to be enabled.
Whether you want to reduce congestion, increase parking revenue or reduce occupancy – or a mixture of all three – there is plenty of technology available. Andrew Bardin Williams considers the pros and cons. Drawn in by the promise of Smart City initiatives, communities across North America are embracing smart parking solutions in an effort to change citizens’ transportation behaviours for the better. They are doing this by using policy and ITS solutions to help de-incentivise parking for most people while
Automated parking offers optimised space utilisation and fewer damage complaints as David Crawford discovers. As cars become smarter, technology designed to make parking them more straightforward is developing in parallel. In turn, it is becoming clear that the places where vehicles spend much of their time will need to respond – more comprehensively than by supporting established aids such as smartphone-based parking location and reservation, or payment for time used.
