Nedap AVI wins innovation award at Gulf Traffic show
Dubai, U.A.E
“We are delighted to receive this prestigious award,” said Niek Bragt, General Manager of Nedap FZE. “These expert opinions go a long way to support our efforts to create innovative, accurate and reliable technology.”
Anthony Pearce, a member of the judging panel, is an honorary Life Member of the International Road Federation (IRF) and senior adviser on the development of road infrastructure and transportation: “The potential of vehicle detection solutions with Nedap’s Sensit is enormous,” he explained.
The Sensit system relies on wireless parking sensors that are mounted into parking bays. These sensors relay occupancy information for each individual parking spot by using an infrared eye and a magnetic field to detect vehicle presence.
This dual-sensor technology and a special algorithm ensure high accuracy, both for motorists looking for an empty spot as well as for authorities seeking overstay detection. What’s more, because it is completely wireless and easy to install, Sensit actually reduces construction costs.
“Counting and reporting parking occupancy is not only part of greater service for motorists, but also provides organisational benefits such as effective optimisation and administration of parking spaces,” Bragt comments. “This achievement motivates us to promote Sensit in the Gulf region.”
