Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION
The SENSIT vehicle detection system facilitates accurate measurement on occupancy of individual parking spaces in car parks, and on-street parking spaces. This information can be used to guide traffic to free parking spaces but can also be used for on-street parking enforcement and overstay detection. For on-street enforcement the number of occupied parking spaces can be compared with the number of payments realized by the pay station. For overstay detection the system alerts instantly a parking officer to the presence of nearby overstaying vehicles. Based on this information you can exactly determine which space to enforce.
All the SENSIT vehicle detection sensors are featured with detection and communicate wireless, creating their own network. The SENSIT sensors do not require power wiring, in contrast to conventional systems that require wiring throughout the car park and mounting onto the ceiling.
Easy installation of the sensors is guaranteed. Once installed no maintenance is required for years. The actual status (occupancy) of the sensor is transmitted to the Relay Node, which is part of the wireless mesh network.
Different types of ruggedly designed sensors are available to accommodate installation in indoor car parks, on-street spaces and road surfaces.

ARCHITECTURE
The actual status (occupancy) of the SENSIT sensors is finally collected by one or more SENSIT Gateway. The SENSIT sensors transmit their status via one or more Relay Nodes to the SENSIT Gateway. The SENSIT Gateway (formally known as Data Collector) is the interface between the wireless sensors network and the SENSIT Interface Software running on the server. The SENSIT Gateway transmits status information about the sensors to the server using TCP/IP via Ethernet or GPRS communication.
Figure 1: System Architecture
For a parking site you need at least one SENSIT Gateway, a Relay Node and a SENSIT per parking bay.

2.5.1 ELECTRONIC PARKING LICENSE
The Electronic Parking License (EPL) physically is a device that is positioned inside the car. Whenever the car stops for a specific period of time it considers the car to be parked and it will look for a wireless SENSIT network. If a network is detected, it will make itself know to the network. Its unique EPL identifier is registered at the server with SENSIT Interface Software (SIS). The SIS is triggered when parking bays that require a license change status (become occupied or free). When such a parking bay is occupied the system will calculate the odds of the parking bay being occupied by an unauthorized vehicle.

Moreover it also analyzes communication reliability of the sensor network in a graphical map, automatically alerting areas for maintenance.
Easy integration can be done via to SOAP or REST interface.
SOAP or Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information. It relies on Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) for its message format.
The SOAP interface can query data from the SIS using the http(s) interface, the found data is returned in a XML description format.
Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP(S). REST involves reading a designated Web page that contains an XML file. The XML file describes and includes the desired content.

Note
Please keep in mind that with help of this RelayNodeTool you can determine the needed components, but it will always be an estimation.
RelayNodeTool
4 RELAYNODETOOL
The RelayNodeTool software is developed to get a good estimation of the needed system components; Gateways and Relay Nodes. The estimation of needed components is based on drawings of the site. In this way you are able to get a good idea of the needed components.
In this example we are going to design the SENSIT system for two segments; the parking basement and the outside parking terrain at the Nedap Headquarter office.
SCALED DRAWING
First get a drawing of the parking lot(s) and find out if it are open areas or closed (indoor) areas. Try to get information about mounting locations, like lampposts and poles for Relay Nodes and power and internet for the Gateway. Below you can find a map of the Nedap Headquarter office, with its parking areas.
Figure 2: Example drawing of parking lots.
The drawing of a segment can be copied out of the larger map e.g. via the standard Snipping Tool of Windows.

4.3.3 PLACE THE GATEWAY
Place at least one Gateway for every 250 bays. Use the information you already gathered or ask the client for the installation options for the Gateway(s). At least you need a power connection and an internet connection in case of Ethernet.
Figure 8: RelayNodeTool: SENSIT Gateway placement.
4.3.4 PLACE THE RELAY NODE
Place the Relay Nodes at locations were you can mount it e.g. at lampposts in a way that it covers all parking bays. With the tool you can choose between Relay Nodes 2G omni- or directional..

4.4.2 SET THE SCALE
Also Set the scale, this location is a parking basement with a roof, large concrete columns and walls. This will influence the range of the Relay Nodes and therefore we advise to reduce the range with about 20%, so set the range to about 20m e.g. the width of 8 parking bays.
Figure 12: RelayNodeTool: Scaling of the map.
4.4.3 PLACE THE GATEWAY
Because this basement parking area is half open we can use the Gateway of the open area, so we don’t need to add one for this segment.

RelayNodeTool
4.4.4 PLACE THE RELAY NODE
Place the Relay Nodes at locations were you can mount it e.g. at lampposts in a way that it covers all parking bays. With the tool you can choose between Relay Nodes 2G omni- or directional.
There are 2 large concrete walls and after every 3 parking bays there is large concrete pillar, all is indicated with red. This will influence the range and radiation pattern of the Relay Nodes.
Figure 13: Imported map with concrete wall and pillar indication.
Probably with only 3 Relay Nodes 2G it is possible to get coverage of all bays, but because of these large influencing concrete objects we used 2 Relay Nodes 2G extra to make sure all SENSIT sensors are sufficient reachable.
