Parking in Smart Cities – Sensor Testing

One approach of enabling smart parking technologies is the integration of parking space sensors on the ground. The existing sensor installation at the parking lot P+R Bahnhof/Brennerstraße in Bamberg is used to perform tests on the sensor system. Is the occupancy detection working correctly? What is the accuracy of the detection? The sub-project Sensor Testing addresses the use case of parking space sensor testing. The sensor data is compared to a ground truth data set and different environmental influences are examined.

The need for parking spaces will continue to increase in the future. Studies show that finding a free parking space causes 30% of inner-city traffic. The efficient management of parking spaces has long been a central point in the planning of urban and regional infrastructures. The overall student project Parking in Smart Cities is split into 5 sub-projects and aims to improve parking management in smart cities.
