Barrier-free parking

How to successfully set up a parking lot scenario to get reliable utilization data.

Do you have a parking lot where you simply want to know the occupancy rate by counting entries and exits? Our technology offers the perfect solution to achieve this in a simple way. See for yourself:

What data can be generated?

For this use case, our software provides you with all the relevant information for your count based on entries and exits. It records the number of vehicles in your parking lot as well as the number of vehicles entering and leaving your parking lot. The whole thing can be configured for user-defined time periods.

The vehicles are recognized based on our defined classes. Please note that the following configuration is optimized for the detection of vehicles and not for people and bicycles.

What needs to be considered for a successful analysis?

Camera setup

In the table below you will find detailed information on the requirements, settings and positioning of the camera.

Setting	Recommended
Pixels Per Meter (PPM) Pixels Per Meter is a unit of measurement used to define the amount of potential image detail a camera provides at a given distance.	>60 PPM Using the camera parameters defined below ensures that the minimum required PPM value is achieved. Tip: Use the lens calculator from Axis or a generic lens calculator.
Video resolution	1280 × 720 Pixel
Video protocol/Codec	RTSP/H264
Focal length	2.8 mm
Camera mounting - Distance to object center	5-20 m
Camera mounting - Mounting height	3-6 m
Camera mounting - Vertical angle to the object	<50 ° Note: The correct vertical angle to the object should be achieved by setting the correct distance to the vehicle and the optimum mounting height.
Camera mounting - horizontal angle to the object	0 ° - 90 °

Specifications for the environment

Object speed	<30 km/h
Day/Night/Lighting	During the day/well lit
Indoor/outdoor use	both
Expected accuracy (counts when all environmental, hardware and camera requirements are met)	>95 % Only vehicles are considered for this accuracy. For parking lots, people and two-wheelers are not included in our test scenarios as they do not occupy parking spaces (for vehicles).

Hardware specifications
