Smart Parking
Product features

Smart Parking Sensor Technology is a radar sensor device that allows the detection of parking availability indoors and outdoors.

Libelium Smart Parking benefits from 2 different detection systems:

» Radar and Magnetic.

» Greater precision, improved detection and stability performance: 99% accuracy.

Technology that cares

Finding parking in urban areas, whether public or private, is an everyday problem. The result is an increase in air and noise pollution, fuel consumption, traffic congestion and stress for citizens.

The IoT is enabling to reduce gas emissions and traffic congestion while increasing drivers’ health.

Ready for your Smart Parking project?

Step 1: Smart Parking nodes

  • Best accuracy in the market: radar and magnetic technology combination.
  • IP68 and IK10 protection and fully certified (CE, UKCA and FCC).
  • LoRaWAN wireless communication protocol.
  • Over the air (OTA) set up.
  • Two ways of installation (on surface and semi-underground)
  • Almost zero maintenance needed.

Step 2: LoRaWAN infrastructure

Do you already have it? If not, we can provide base stations and a LoraWan Network server ready to work with FIWARE or your own Cloud.

Step 3: Cloud & Visualization

  • You can use your own platform.
  • We can set it all up to work with FIWARE.
  • You can also use Libelium Cloud (highly recommended for PoC).

How can a Smart Parking solution work for Citizens, Private companies and Public administration?

Main benefits:

  • Optimization of existing parking capacity
  • Additional parking revenues: having real-time information about parking spaces increase parking revenues by up to 35%.
  • Enforcement cost reduction and reduced parking violations
  • Special permits detection (disabled, emergency…)
  • Pricing strategies
  • Reduction of traffic congestion

Discover the challenges, key benefits and the most demanded features by the Smart Cities.

  • Reduction of CO2, dust emissions (PM2.5 – PM10) and other pollutants. Congestion can be reduced by 15-30%.
  • Reduction of noise pollution
  • Improvement of quality of life and the reputation of being a greener city.
  • Technological advancements such as online payments and development of mobile apps for reserving parking slots are instrumental in driving the implementation of smart parking systems.
  • Reduction in time spent looking for a parking space increases retail and business revenues in the area of implementation.

Libelium Parking Node - Main features

1

Robust waterproof IP68 enclosure

The device is protected inside a small and extremely tough enclosure.

It is IP68 rated, which means it remains waterproof even submerged in water. Each node is provided with professional screws and anchors, resistant to tampering and vandalism.

Besides, it is certified for IK10, the maximum rating too for external mechanical impacts: protected against 20 joules of impact (the equivalent to the impact of a 5 kg mass dropped from 400 mm above the impacted surface).

Easily reset by passing the magnet over the node. Wide range of temperature: -20ºC to 65ºC.

2

Battery life

Libelium Smart Parking was created to last. Apart from the robust enclosure, the electronic design focus on being low-power and the battery has a huge capacity of 10,400 mA·h.

Besides, the Night Mode saves energy during hours of low rotation.

All this can lead to 10+ years of uninterrupted operation.*

(*) Battery Life depends on parameters such as the number of packets sent per day, the distance from the nodes to the Base Station, etc.

3

Easy maintenance and 2 installation options

The maintenance is much easier as the devices are not affected by dirt, dust, rain or oil spills.

You can install the device:

  • On surface
  • Semi-underground
4

Wireless communication protocol

When the device notices a change in the parking lot status, it sends the data to the cloud through the LoRaWAN network.

  • Available for Europe, US, Latam, Australia and Asia Pacific.
  • Nodes provisioning in the LoRaWAN network server at any one time including default time settings and unique LoRaWAN identifiers and keys.
  • Configuration via Smart Devices App (Java desktop application).
5

Radar detection system

Radar technology offers improved performance compared to magnetic or infrared detection devices.

They are not vulnerable to magnetic interference and do not give false positives for vehicles parked in double rows.
