Sky Light Parking Sensor - Nabla Quadro

Sky Light Parking Sensor is a wireless sensor for parking bay occupancy monitoring.

These in-ground sensors are installed in the pavement, typically one per parking bay. The sensors can determine whether a parking bay is vacant or occupied in real time. Data are sent to the server via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT. Data coming from the sensors can be used and displayed in infinite ways, using available applications or developing solutions independently thanks to our protocols for data decoding.

Sky Light Parking Sensor uses three different technologies to detect vehicles:

ambient light variation sensor;
active infrared sensor;
magnetic field sensor.

A unique algorithm combines all three measurements in real-time to give the most accurate data available.

Sky Light Parking Sensor may also be built with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module inside. This module can be set to one of the following modes:

beacon mode to be captured by third-party apps for user authorisation;
scanner mode (only paired with our Parking Angel app or hardware token).

Sky Light Parking Sensor has been designed with advanced features that make it unique and effective. Even though it is an in-ground sensor, it has an external box that is placed in the hole drilled which has been drilled in the pavement. The sensor is fixed inside this box with security screws. This special feature makes it easy to replace a sensor in case of road maintenance works.

Besides, Sky Light Parking Sensor can be refurbished at the end of its battery life, so to extend the product’s life cycle.
