  1. How smart parking works

Drivers looking for parking add to congestion and pollution, and parking operators lose revenue to manual ticketing and empty spaces nobody can find. A smart parking system shows exactly which spaces are free and automates ticketing and payment.

How smart parking works

Occupancy sensors in each bay detect whether a vehicle is parked.

Sensor data goes to the parking platform in real time.

LED displays and apps show drivers how many spaces are free and where.

Ticketing kiosks and mobile cashiering handle entry, exit and payment.

Dashboards show occupancy, revenue and peak times for the operator.

GP-1000 wireless parking sensor

Geomagnetic detection: senses the change in the magnetic field when a car parks above it

Wire-free installation with magnetic mounting, so there’s no trenching or cabling

IP67: waterproof, dustproof and impact-resistant for outdoor bays

Built-in 19,000 mAh battery

GSM connectivity and GNSS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How accurate are geomagnetic parking sensors? They reliably detect parked vehicles. Install and calibrate them correctly so nearby traffic doesn’t affect readings.

Do the sensors need cables? No. The GP-1000 is battery-powered and communicates wirelessly.

Can drivers book or pay through an app? The system integrates with mobile and web apps for monitoring, booking and payment.

Can parking data feed a smart city dashboard? Yes. Occupancy data can be shared with city command centres through integration.
