The platform contributes to the optimisation of parking guidance and traffic flows in city centres and retail environments all over the world. The solution results in less congestion, reduction of emissions, safer streets and thus a more attractive city for visitors and retailers.

During the EPA Congress and Exhibition in Rotterdam from 20th – 22nd September and ITS World Congress in Montreal from 29th October – 2nd November, the new products will be demonstrated to the market.

Marketed as the world’s smartest parking sensor the Sensit IR Flush Mount sensor, combines both infrared and magnetic field detection technology into a practical compact design. It is installed completely recessed into the road surface, making it resistant to snow ploughs and avoiding tripping hazards. The Sensit IR Flush Mount detects the occupancy of individual parking spaces in real-time. The parking data obtained enables smart parking in any Smart City, ITS or retail environment.

“We are very proud to launch this new generation of Sensit sensors. Our products have proven to be the reliable and durable parking detection solution for years in applications all over the world. With the addition of the Sensit IR Flush Mount, Nedap responds to the growing demand for highly accurate sensors that are mounted fully flush into the road surface,” says Edwin Siemerink, Sensit Proposition Manager at Nedap.

Smart parking guidance app In addition to the new smart parking sensor, Nedap is also launching the Sensit P-Guide App smart parking guidance app. This smartphone app (available for both IOS and Android) enables cities, municipalities and companies to easily provide motorists with real-time parking information. The app, which can be fully customised to fit (city) marketing needs, helps motorists to easily find and navigate to available parking spaces, both on- and of-street.

Recently, the P-Guide app was successfully introduced in the Dutch city of Zoetermeer. The municipality of Zoetermeer anticipates that the introduction of the app will lead to a more effective usage of the existing number of parking spaces in the city. In addition, the Sensit Gateway was added to the portfolio. This brand-new gateway offers 3G, Ethernet and GPRS communication. It is the fast and reliable interface between the wireless Sensit network and the interface software. The new design of the interface software is now completely map oriented and enables easy configuration of any smart parking application.
