a central place by means of energy meters directly connected to the bus. These are just a few examples
among lots of combinations to accomplish the required solution.
System Description
In this chapter you will get an overview of the entire structure of the parking guidance system. There is a
short description of the basic elements of the system, followed by a description of the structure of a system
lane. Then it is described how the individual lanes can be linked together to create a large parking guidance
system with thousands of potential spaces. Also, a definition is offered for the network structure required
to link the system to a PC with the Parking Guidance software installed.
Basic Modules
Lane and vertical mounted sensors
Vertical sensor with a built-in LED indicator light, (8 colour, red, green, amber, yellow, light-blue, blue,
purple and white)
SBPSUSL
45-degree sensor with a built-in LED indicator light, (8 colour, red, green, amber, yellow, light-blue, blue,
purple and white)
SBPSUSL45
Vertical sensor
45 degree sensor
Each parking space must be equipped with one of these ultrasonic sensors, which detect whether or not a
car is present. These sensors are designed to be used together with the Carpark software and they enable
the Carpark operator to control the colour of each sensor. This is useful if the Carpark installation offers VIP
spaces, family spaces etc. There are two versions of this sensor: a 45 degree angled sensor with a built-in 8-
colour indication and one vertical with a built-in 8-colour indication. For best performance the 45-degree
sensor is recommended to be mounted in height of 2.5 m at the entrance of the parking space.
This is the prevalent sensor type because of the installation costs and installation time.
