SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION The SENSIT vehicle detection system facilitates accurate measurement on occupancy of individual parking spaces in car parks, and on-street parking spaces. This information can be used to guide traffic to free parking spaces but can also be used for on-street parking enforcement and overstay detection. For on-street enforcement the number of occupied parking spaces can be compared with the number of payments realized by the pay station.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT System 2 SENSIT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE The actual status (occupancy) of the SENSIT sensors is finally collected by one or more SENSIT Gateway. The SENSIT sensors transmit their status via one or more Relay Nodes to the SENSIT Gateway. The SENSIT Gateway (formally known as Data Collector) is the interface between the wireless sensors network and the SENSIT Interface Software running on the server.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT System THE SENSIT SENSORS Four types of ruggedly designed sensors are available to accommodate installation in indoor car parks, on-street spaces and road surfaces. Until recently the standard, most used, SENSIT Sensor is the SENSIT IR. For regions with lots of snow the SENSIT Flush Mount is designed to withstand frequent snow ploughing. The SENSIT Surface Mount is designed for indoor car parks or roof tops where drilling is not allowed.

SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions 19 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GENERAL What types of SENSIT sensors are available and what is the difference? There are 3 different types of SENSIT sensors available: 1 SENSIT IR - Magnetic and optical sensor suitable to be built-into the floor of each parking space. 2 SENSIT Flush Mount - Magnetic sensor suitable to be built-into the floor of each parking space.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions transmissions. After the frame length, which consists of 16 time slots, the (Relay) node again has a period of time reserved for it. We have parameterized the duration of a time slot and the number of time slots. The default timeslot is 100ms and the number of timeslots in a frame is 16. In the US the system uses also Frequency Hop Spread Spectrum (FHSS); a pseudo random frequency hopping scheme every timeslot the SENSIT also changes the frequency.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions How can I avoid a vehicle driving over the SENSIT sensor to trigger a status change event message? When a vehicle is driving over a or multiple SENSIT sensors to reach the final parking bay the overdriven SENSIT sensors will transmit an occupied and free event message. If the overdrive filter isn’t set. By default the overdrive filter is set to eliminate these kinds of messages.
SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions What is the detection principal of the optical sensor? The optical sensor is based on IR reflection. We are using a high power IR LED as transmitter and a sensitive IR diode as receiver. The IR radiation is reflected by the bottom of a car or truck and is received by the IR receiving diode. This means the bay is occupied. Is the optical sensor influenced by snow or ice? Yes the optical sensor detects based on something covering the sensor.
