The document discusses how Streetline Networks and Dust Networks improve city efficiency and citizen happiness by reducing traffic and pollution. One of the challenges addressed is the issue of parking. It is estimated that 30 percent of urban traffic is caused by drivers searching for parking. The solution proposed involves collecting real-time data from individual parking spaces using wireless technology. The solution needs to be battery-powered and resilient, as wireless signals are affected by vehicles on the street. Additionally, the solution should be easy to deploy, scale up, and configure.
Streetline Networks implemented a smart parking solution using Dust Networks' SmartMesh technology to address the challenges of urban traffic caused by motorists searching for parking. The system utilizes ultra-low power sensor nodes that can operate for years on two AA batteries, providing real-time data on occupied, empty, or expired parking spots even in harsh street environments.
The ultra low power sensor nodes provide years of maintenance-free operation.
The solution gathers the real-time status of spots as occupied, empty or expired.
