BOSCH LoRaWAN® Parking Sensor Parking Lot PLS 868 MHz IP67 The LoRaWAN® Parking Lot PLS is a sensor for Smart Parking and Smart City applications. The sensor is battery powered and designed for surface mounting. Both screw and adhesive mounting is possible. The parking sensor detects and reports the occupancy of individual parking spaces / parking lots and thus enables active parking space management. The simple retrofit solution for the monitoring of parking spaces can be installed in a few minutes. Drivers in large cities spend on average more than 40 hours a year behind the wheel alone to find parking spaces. Around 30 % of inner-city traffic and the associated CO2 emissions are accounted for by the search for parking space alone. However, the question of where the next available parking space is has been answered much faster than before with digital solutions for some time now. This time saving is made possible by modern Internet-of-Things technologies. Sensors are integrated into a networked overall mobility solution via LoRaWAN® radio technology (Long Range Wide Area Network). The radio technology makes it possible to collect data from sensors over a large radius via a gateway and send it to intelligent traffic control systems. The information about the occupancy status of the parking lot ends up in the back end of the mobility system, where it is processed and made available to the end users via navigation system, smartphone app or website. In this way, motorists can navigate to the nearest available parking space. The back-end system can also store the type of parking space involved, i.e. "normal" surface parking or special parking space (women's, family or disabled parking, e-charging station). The solution is also suitable for monitoring escape routes (e.g. fire department access roads) or e-charging stations. The parking sensor contains two independent sensor elements, a magnetometer to detect changes in the magnetic field of the environment and a RADAR sensor to measure the reflectivity of the object above the sensor.

Parking sensor LoRaWAN 868 PNI PlacePod InGround ODPlacePod solves the most mission-critical aspects of parking management ACCURATE, REAL-TIME VEHICLE DETECTION AND THE LOCATION OF AVAILABLE PARKING SPACES.PlacePod  InGround is an in-ground mounted sensor that communicates with a gateway to provide real-time parking data over a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN). It provides accurate vehicle detection in parking spaces, up to 7 years of battery life, and is stable over temperature fluctuations, even in harsh environments.Incorporating real-time parking data from PlacePod smart parking sensors into a parking management strategy can help reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, foster economic development and improve urban mobility, and increase parking revenue.FEATURES & BENEFITSIncludes the industry’s most accurate magnetic sensing system for vehicle detection with the combination of PNI’s high-performance magnetic sensor and vehicle detection algorithms that accurately detect the presence or absence of a car in a parking space. PlacePod vehicle detection algorithms offer machine learning capability. This unique feature provides improved accuracy when filtering out local electromagnetic interference and changes in the local magnetic field. Improved vehicle detection algorithms and continuous monitoring provide more accurate detection for vehicles in neighboring parking spaces. This is ideal for space-constrained or narrow parking spaces. With its auto-calibration feature, PlacePod does not require any calibration during installation or when firmware is updated. Calibration is optional. This saves time during installation and lowers total cost of ownership of the system. Unlike other parking sensors, PlacePod provides continuous vehicle detection without missing a parking event. Capability for wireless configuration and software updates using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) via PNI’s mobile iOS and Android applications. Unlike other magnetic sensor-based parking sensors, PlacePod accurately detects parking events in dense urban environments and filters out electromagnetic interference or “noise” such as direct current from overhead power lines, interference from underground trains, or transient magnetic signatures from passing traffic, which can trigger false parking events. Customers can visualize parking data using PNI’s Parking Management Application – a comprehensive dashboard for managing and monitoring all parking resources and data, including installation and verification, diagnostics, monitoring, and reporting. Using the PlacePod API, data can be shared with 3rd-party applications (including IoT platforms, parking enforcement, mobile payment, parking management systems, parking guidance systems). Includes a built-in LoRa® radio that communicates to a gateway or base station with complete Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) compatibility.
