The combined solution is based on Nedap’s Sensit system, that uses bay-mounted sensors in individual parking spaces to detect whether it is occupied. This real-time occupancy information of each individual parking spaces is planned to be soon integrated in Cale’s Web Office, which is used to easily guide drivers to the nearest available parking space.

In Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, an affluent major township in Kuala Lumpur, the first combined Nedap and Cale installation has been realised. Kuala Lumpur, commonly known as K.L., is the national capital of Malaysia as well as its largest city. With an estimated population of 1.73 million people, finding an available parking space in the city centre is a real challenge.

Nedap’s Sensit system consists of smart parking sensors that detect in real-time whether or not a single parking bay is occupied and how long it has been occupied. This real-time occupancy information of each individual parking spaces is integrated in Cale’s Web Office software.

Thanks to this integration, drivers can locate available parking spaces on-street via the mobile app of Cale. This enables them to find a space to park near their destination easy and quickly. Besides offering this efficient guidance service, the solution helps reducing the CO2 emissions in the city, as vehicles are not driving around unnecessarily anymore. Furthermore, both the parking revenue and enforcement are improved.

Cale Access AB, with its HQ in Sweden, offers innovative and efficient parking solutions with parking terminals, mobile payment solutions, transaction handling and centralised software systems.  “Collaborating with Nedap for the parking sensors has enabled Cale to provide the real-time parking information, besides improving the efficiency of the enforcement for the places with Nedap sensors installed,” says Haekal, Technical Executive at Cale Malaysia.

“Partnering with Cale, a world leading parking payment and enforcement solution company, allows us to offer a complete and technological advanced solution to address the Smart Cities requirements in Asia,” states Melvyn Teo, Business Development Manager at Nedap Identification Systems.
