Radiocrafts, Innovative Technologies Develop ZigBee-based Wireless System for Parking Lots

(Product News, 29 Apr 2008)

Radiocrafts AS and Paris-based Innovative Technologies successfully implemented a novel ZigBee-based wireless system, designed by Innovative Technologies based on the Radiocrafts RC2300 RF module, targeted at parking lots.

The parking automation system is based on placing Vehicle Detection Modules (VDM) above the parking space. Each VDM can control up to two parking spaces. Displays are set up at the entrance of the car park and will indicate to the drivers the number of available parking spaces and the ones which are the closest. Data management software provides the operator with a graphic map of each parking level showing in real time free parking spaces. The system brings both operators and users of parking lots major benefits.

Created two years ago by three partners having a cumulative experience of more than 50 years in software and hardware architecture and development, Innovative Technologies specializes in computer science and dynamic image analysis. The company's expertise includes a wide range of services in security and safety technology.

Radiocrafts offers a wide range of compact RF modules covering all license-free ISM bands including 433MHz, 868MHz and 2.45GHz. The company provides modules with integrated and very easy-to-use point-to-multipoint protocol (RC232 protocol), IEEE 802.15.4 modules (for ZigBee and 6LoWPAN), and special modules for AMR/sensor systems based on Wireless M-Bus.
