Siemens Integrated Smart Parking Solution is a modular, infrastructure-based sensor system that goes beyond the possibilities of ground sensors. Imagine a tool that allows you to effortlessly form a clear picture of where available parking spaces can be found and how long each space has been occupied for, while providing an overview of improper usage of any non-parking areas as well as nearby Bicycle and Emergency Vehicle lanes.
Features of Parker include: Find open parking spots, and even see on which side of the street you’ll find them. Use filters to only show spots that meet your preferences. (No coins? Not a problem – we can show you where bills or credit cards are accepted. Need accessible parking? We can show you availability for that, too.). View prices, payment options, hours (e.g., street parking free after 7PM), and more. One touch, turn-by-turn voice navigation quickly directs you to your preferred parking location. Built-in timer reminds you when your meter is about to expire.
The city region of Eindhoven (SRE) is located at the hub of several international transportation routes, where relatively small incidents can have major consequences for the system as a whole. In 2011, approximately 30,000 people were killed in the European Union as a consequence of collisions in traffic. The European Commission recently adopted an ambitious Road Safety Programme, which aims to cut traffic deaths in Europe between 2011 and 2020 by 50 percent. Intelligent transport solutions (ITS) can help improve European road conditions and safety.
The mission of the Smartlab Knowledge Center is to cooperate and support our partners to succeed in their business by its complex, cross-disciplinary and innovative activities based on the R&D competencies of Obuda University. Smartlab also provides its infrastructural assets for educational purposes (in BSc and MSc but primarily on the level of PhD). Research and Development activities of the Knowledge Center involve: Smart City projects aiming the characterization of urban traveling patterns by using wireless information.
A number of Forum Virium Helsinki’s projects, such as the development of a traffic information platform have led to successful commercial deployments following extensive trials, whereas others aim to implement the strategic goal of Finland towards open data such as the Helsinki Region Infoshare project. The traffic information platform, for example, captures real-time data and informs citizens about traffic congestion, roadworks, accidents or elks spotted on the motorway.
Crossrail needs approximately 2,000 vehicle movements a day, supporting 47 construction sites across central London. To improve the projects logistics management, the VMPS was developed – enabling over 400 users to plan vehicle deliveries through a web application, recording real-time vehicle safety and arrival rates via Personal Data Assistants.
Co-operative mobility services allow intersection traffic control systems to adapt their timing based on an interaction with vehicles. The advantage is twofold: the speed of vehicles is optimized reducing unnecessary acceleration and deceleration and the traffic light phase is optimized increasing the overall road network throughput. The idea that smart cities should take up is the introduction of such cooperative adaptive traffic control systems based on ITS-G5 V2I communication.
With 150 “urban” sensors over the urban grid of Zaragoza, 90% of all urban routes are monitored and 30% of all traffic is audited daily. The information on travel times goes directly to the Traffic Management Centre (TMC) of Zaragoza City Council and it is displayed on a web interface specially intended for management purposes.
Citysolver is Bitcarrier real-time intelligent traffic management and information solution for urban environments specifically designed to satisfy the needs for traffic optimization in local authorities. Citysolver provides its clients with the following data in real time: Travel times between two points in the city, Vehicles’ average speed, Traffic intensity, Traffic density estimations, Alarms for detection of incidents and congestion, Prediction of travel times, Information to design origin-destination matrixes.
Sitraffic Guide optimizes the search for parking spaces and thus relieves the pressure on city streets. In short: Dynamic message signs provide information to the driver on the current occupancy levels of individual parking areas and guide him/her along the shortest route to his/her final parking destination.
