Effective calculation and guidance for outdoor parking areas remain one of the biggest
challenges in parking and parking guidance. Over the years various different
solutions ranging from simple induction loop counting to individual ground sensors have
been used. Most recent developments in camera technology and advanced image analysis
have made it possible to utilize cameras for counting and guidance of outdoor parking areas.
VISION outdoor cameras monitor defined areas and based on the proprietary image
analysis, they detect the amount of vehicles and calculate the amount of free spaces. Space
availability can then be shown for example in the Portier parking guidance displays or
Portier Wayfinder web application.
