PGS

The Stern ULTRASONIC PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM

Drive down congestion, pollution and stress related to the hunt for parking with our ultrasonic parking guidance system

Taking parking guidance to the next level

The Stern provides the driver with realtime and accurate information of available parking space and will guide them to the nearest space available through the shortest route with the help of directional displays at strategic locations. Space by space ultrasonic detectors along with the pilot lights provides a better visual indication of the available car park space to the driver. The system also provides detailed statistics and reports on the car park usage and events. Our PGS is designed and developed in a hierarchical and modular architecture and therefore is scalable to any extent. The Stern guidance solutions helps the car park operators to make their parking more effective and attractive to the users.

A property’s parking facility has the potential of leaving the ﬁrst and last impressions on visitors and it plays a major role in his decision of which one to choose from his options. The stern’s parking guidance system will elevate the look and feel of the parking by helping the visitors to ﬁnd a parking space easily and effectively.

Wifi Enabled Ultrasonic Detectors

Ultrasonic detectors are installed on top of each parking space, which continuously monitors the presence of vehicles underneath and turns on pilot light accordingly. A green pilot light signiﬁes that the particular parking space is free, while a red light indicates that the space is already occupied.

Our detectors are WIFI enabled and communicate to the server wirelessly. These IOT devices automatically connect to any one of the stron- gest available authorised WiFi and updates the detection status to the server. The detection height can be changed dynamically from the server during the runtime. These devices are capable of identifying any overstayed vehicle and provide separate pilot light indication, which makes it easy for the parking operators to easily identify such vehicles. Server is built with latest technologies to ensure accurate and real time calculations. The central database is implemented using MongoDB, which is highly ﬂexible and is around 100 times faster than relational database like MySQL. The data processing backbone uses nodeJS, which makes the server highly scalable and efﬁcient by handling multiple requests simultaneously to ensure better performance. Server follows an event based architecture, which makes it highly responsive to ultrasonic detections. Instead of using separate in-house server for each car park or connecting multiple car parks to one centralised server locally, we provide our customers the option to adopt cloud server and get mind free from maintaining the local server. The detailed real time reports and statistics for individual parking slot, zone and level ensures the most efﬁcient management of the car park.

Pilot Light

Our pilot light functions together with the ultrasonic sensor to provide visual information about the availability status of each parking lot with color coding. Green for free and red for occupied.

Wifi Enabled Variable Message Sign

Variable message signs with direction arrows will be fixed at strategic locations, which display the total spaces available in that particular direction. Our display feature ethernet and wifi connectivity to communicate with the central server. Green and red dual colour LEDs are used to show total space and “FULL” message. Its plug and play design makes it easy for the carpark operators to configure a new display as well as reconfigure an existing display with a different data logic.

FEATURES

Sleek design with slim, light weight & less footprint
Low power consumption
Better screen refresh rate with less than 150ms
Tool-less, easy and infrequent maintenance
High speed data transfer with server through wifi
Pulls information from server on power up

High performant

Ubuntu System Server

The Central server is based on commercially available industrial PC hardware with a standard operating system. GUI design and conﬁguration are customer specific.The operator can easily monitor occupancy of individual areas in the parking facility. The server holds the system database, administration and reporting tool and communicates with all the Ultrasonic Detectors and provides real time counting information to the displays. Server is built with latest technologies to ensure accurate and real time calculations.

Real time

Mobile Application

The Stern Guidance system provides mobile application for car park operators as well as users. Operators can use their app for runtime system conﬁguration and monitoring. Operators will be notiﬁed on their mobile app if a particular zone or ﬂoor is getting ﬁlled. Users app provides real time parking occupancy statistics, which helps them to evaluate the parking situation before entering the parking
