Introduction:
The Dupline® 3 Parking Guidance system saves time and reduces stress for drivers.
Dynamic displays, strategically positioned throughout the facility, provide ‘space available’ counts and
efficiently guide the driver to vacant spaces with clear and bright green arrows pointing the way.
If there are no vacant parking spaces in an area, the display will show a bright red cross to discourage the
drivers from entering this area. Other displays can be made to show the total number of vacant spaces on a
particular level or in the entire parking facility. Dynamic message displays can also be used in the facility to
provide additional information to drivers. Some examples could be Caution, Construction Ahead, Buckle-Up
or any other message that needs to be communicated to the drivers in the facility.
In the parking space
Space by space, we will focus on the 45-degree sensor for lane mounting. Installation of the vertical sensor
is also explained, but basically, physical installation and precautions are the same for all types of sensors
and LED indicators.
A 45-degree sensor with bright, built-in LEDs is placed in the lane outside each parking space. Eight
different colours, freely programmable, can be selected to show either green for vacancy or red for
occupied. If the space is for disabled parking, the colours become blue and red. The bright LED indicators
provide a visual reference from a distance as drivers search for vacant parking spaces.
The Dupline® Parking sensors utilise a special ultrasonic frequency, much like the one used by bats to catch
flying insects. A sophisticated microprocessor built into the sensor transmits a 40-KHz signal, which hits the
ground. All the echoes it finds are used to decide the bay status. Once detection has been confirmed, the
