Parking guidance in the cities is a basic part of achieving the traffic reduction objectives which is now a priority for most of them.

The solution we offer equips each parking space on the public road or the entrances and exits of a parking area with wireless sensors that detect the presence or passage of vehicles in real time, becoming a smart parking.

Benefits:

  • Drivers are guided via variable message signs or Apps to areas with available spaces avoiding traffic by searching for a free space.
  • Parking usage is optimized thanks to information on where to find parking spaces.
  • Users park more easily, reducing their stress and increasing their satisfaction.
  • The good use of parking spaces and information on parking availability speeds up mobility in the center and reduces chaos, favoring the willingness of citizens to move to the center.

The guidance solution includes:

  • U-Spot Wireless sensors for single space detection and/or U-Flow counting sensors to detect and transmit in real time the availability of spaces.
  • Dynamic and high-quality message signs adapted to urban environments, which transmit the information related to the availability of free spaces.
  • Mobile application for citizens to know in real time the status of available spaces as well as the defined regulation.
  • Management web and mobile application for device management and parking use analyzing.
  • API for the integration of the system with third-party systems, (other car parks equipped with access control systems already implemented in the city).

How does it work?

  1. The driver goes to a free space guided by the application or the variable message signs or enters a delimited area, the sensors detect his presence or his passage and transmit the information to the platform.
  2. The platform collects the data and sends it updated to the mobile app and variable message signs indicating one less available space.
  3. When the vehicle leaves, the U-Spot sensor no longer detects its presence or the U-Flow sensor detects its passage through the exit and sends the data again with one more available space.
  4. From the U-Admin platform the manager can consult all the activity.
