Is there a smart parking sensor for the ceiling?

1

Hello together,

I have a project where we want to use smart parking in parking houses. Does anybody know a LoRaWAN parking sensor that can be attached to the ceiling, so that the parking space can be monitored from above?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, Herman
Checkout the floor mounted Bosch solution:

Or the TWTG solution:

If you are interested, i would offer my service to develop such product for ceiling mounting.

Regards,
André

Thinking differently about that objective you might be able to leverage some of the waste bin sensors. Of course you need to take into account your distance from ceiling mount to floor and perhaps calibrate to properly determine occupancy. Another advantage you may have is that you can probably solar power. Most parking decks are lit 24/7. Also, no special need for overly durable housings designed for the weight of cars etc.

Hi Andre,

thank you for your reply! I checked out these sensors and they would also fit for our purpose. We’re still in discussion whether to mount them on the floor or the ceiling. Thank you also for your offer, I will consider it.

Best Regards
