Ultrasonic/Infrared Sensors:These are installed at each parking space to detect whether a space is occupied or vacant.
Camera-based Sensors:Advanced systems use cameras to monitor parking spaces, providing not just occupancy data but also license plate recognition (LPR).
LED Indicators:
Installed above each parking space, these lights indicate space availability. A green light means the space is free, while a red light indicates it is occupied.
These indicators are crucial in directing drivers to open spaces quickly.
Digital Display Boards:
These boards are located at key junctions within the parking facility, displaying real-time information about available spaces in different zones or levels.
They may also provide guidance on optimal routes to reach those spaces.
Centralized Control Software:
The software collects data from the sensors and integrates it into a user-friendly interface.
Parking managers can monitor space usage, view analytics, and control operations from a central hub.
Mobile App Integration:
Some systems allow users to access parking availability data through a mobile app, making it easy to find a space before even arriving at the facility.
License Plate Recognition (LPR):
Integrated with camera systems, LPR can automate entry/exit, track vehicles, and even integrate with payment systems.
Payment Integration:
Advanced systems can also integrate with automatic payment systems, offering a seamless experience for users with ticketless parking and online payment options.
Benefits:
Reduces congestion and time spent looking for parking.
Enhances user experience by offering real-time guidance.
Optimizes space usage and improves overall efficiency.
Can integrate with other smart city or building management systems.
