Smart Parking Solution
Locating a parking lot can be time consuming, and is an inefficient use of fuel. The occupancy state and turnover rate for traditional roadside parking are often not recorded, or can be inaccurate. This smart parking solution will allow users to find available parking lots with ease, and can be implemented easily at a low cost. A device is placed at each parking lot, and uses a magnetic sensor to detect the presence of a vehicle parked at the lot. The device has a long battery life of 3 to 5 years, reducing maintenance needs. It is wirelessly connected via Sigfox, a leading provider of connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT).
