Vehicle Detector Sensor Theory
IPS Vehicle Detection Dome Sensor provides a reliable and secure detection system which
detects the presence and absence of a vehicle in a public or garage parking space.
The IPS sensor uniquely directs all sensing information via the IPS single or multispace parking
meter cellular communications backbone.
The parking locations weather they are located on a city street or parking structure will detect
whatever is parked in front of it. This builds in an added measure of security not only does it
detect when a vehicle is located at a parking location it will also detect when it is vacant so if a
vehicle is abandon, stolen or has been left on the street somewhere it can be immediately
located and it will time date stamp the actual event.
It will also tell the city workers that have shut down specific parking locations due to either road
work or an event if someone has inadvertently left their vehicle on the street in a restricted
area.
The sensor because it is mounted on a meter pole has a battery life of 6 - 8 years depending on
detection activity if no solar activity is present or indefinitely when there unrestricted sunlight.
To maximize and conserve battery life the sensor remains dormant until it actually senses a
vehicle at which time it will wake up to detect whatever is covered up by it and relays the
information or data to the meter and then returns to dormant state until the next event which
is when the vehicle leaves.
The IPS sensor uses multiple sensing technologies combining RF as well as C band 6.3GHz to
detect vehicles when the target is within Doppler range.
Its unique design provides the most accurate data on the sensor market and allows for quick
installation and servicing.
