Passau shopping centre installs ‘smart’ parking technology
English
An innovative system for managing parking spaces has been installed in a shopping centre in the Bavarian town of Passau.
The wireless magnetic indoor and outdoor field sensors, designed by German traffic system manufacturer MSR-Traffic, count incoming and outgoing vehicles in both directions and can detect those going in the wrong direction.
The new technology provides a low-cost and effective alternative to inductive loops and camera-based systems traditionally installed to manage parking facilities.
