3. SMART PARKING SENSOR
A Smart Parking Sensor is the device installed in each parking slot able to recognize the presence of a
vehicle. When the device detects a change of the parking slot status (free/busy), it sends a frame to the
LoRaWAN base station.
The Smart Parking Sensors can be used to give the availability parking information to users only (on VMS
panels or directly in the Smart Parking user App), or to manage the availability and the payments of
parking.
To have a good efficiency, sensors must have a precision of detection over 95%, and it has to checks the
presence of a vehicle with a fast frequency (eg. every 5 or 10 seconds).
Another important characteristic of a Smart Parking Sensor is the impact at aesthetic level and the risk
level for pedestrians and cyclists.
To solve all these, Intercomp Smart Parking Sensors are built for in-ground installation, totally under the
pavement.
