At the event, Product Manager Priscilla Boyd will present Intelligent Parking - Where ITS and Smart Cities unite in Theatre 1 on Thursday 09 June at 9:00am. The paper explores the integration of intelligent parking bay sensing technologies with traffic management systems, the impact that parking has on traffic and how traffic management can be used to mitigate those issues including future integration with connected and autonomous vehicles.
‘Siemens Intelligent Parking provides integration of traffic and parking solutions, adopting parking bay sensors to provide cities with a demand-responsive system, where the data produced gives valuable statistics to help city planning, allowing strategies to be shaped in order to increase revenue, improve customer satisfaction and better compliance in an iterative and dynamic manner,’ says Priscilla Boyd.
The system uses sensors fitted to detect individual parking bay or car park occupancy. The data is transmitted to the Siemens Stratos traffic management system via IP connectivity using the Intelligent Parking Access Point, with the data generated being utilised for applications that range from real-time driver information to linking data to payment or enforcement services.
By introducing a system where parking features are intertwined with traffic management, functionality is augmented in such way that it provides cities with a demand-responsive environment, where automatic triggers can be created based on sensor inputs. In turn, the data produced also gives valuable statistics that can help city planning, allowing strategies to be shaped that can increase revenue, improve customer satisfaction and increase compliance in an iterative and dynamic manner.
Other Siemens systems and technologies on show at the event include proven traffic management, tolling and enforcement solutions, connected & autonomous vehicle infrastructure systems expertise and a number of exciting deployments in projects worldwide.
