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.

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 sensorsnetwork 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.

THE SENSIT SENSORS
Four types of ruggedly designed sensors are available to accommodate installation
in indoor car parks, on-street spaces and road surfaces. Until recently the standard,
most used, SENSIT Sensor is the SENSIT IR. For regions with lots of snow the SENSIT
Flush Mount is designed to withstand frequent snow ploughing. The SENSIT Surface
Mount is designed for indoor car parks or roof tops where drilling is not allowed.
For now all types will be available, in the future the standard SENSIT IR and SENSIT
Flush Mount will be replaced with the new SENSIT IR Flush Mount sensor.

SENSIT GATEWAY
The actual status (occupancy) of the SENSIT sensors is collected by one or more
Gateway. The Gateway is the interface between thewireless sensors network and
the SENSIT Interface Software running at the server. The Gateway transmits status
information about the sensors to the server using TCP/IP via Ethernet or 3G mobile
communication.
For a parking site you need at least one Gateway, a Relay Node and a SENSIT per
parking bay. One Gateway is required per 250 parking bays. All Gateway must be
separated as far as possible from each other, preferably at the remote corners of the
site.
2.4.1 THE GATEWAY
The Gateway can be installed virtually anywhere due to its IP65
weatherproof housing and embedded 3G wireless modem. The only
requirements in case it is uses the mobile internet are; an AC mains
power supply and that it should be installed within reach of the
SENSIT wireless network.

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.

SENSIT INTERFACE SOFTWARE
SENSIT Interface Software allowing easy system integration into enforcement, traffic
guidance or parking guidance management application. The main features of the
SENSIT Interface Software to help you and make easy system integration possible
are:
x Installation
x Configuration
x Basic administration
x Integration
The SENSIT Interface Software enables easy installation of the wireless sensor
network. Once the network and sensors are installed, the sensors will automatically
appear in the software. Configuration of sensors to specific parking bays, parking
zone and parking lot can easily be realized.
Additionally the software configures and monitors communication of the SENSIT
node network. It monitors the data transfer between the sensors and the SENSIT
Gateways. 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 SOAP, REST or REST Hooks 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.

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.

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.

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.
