________________________________________________ 106 6/106 3 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. For overstay detection the system alerts instantly a parking officer to the presence of nearby overstaying vehicles. Based on this information you can exactly determine which space to enforce. All the SENSIT vehicle detection sensors are featured with detection and communicate wireless, creating their own network. The SENSIT sensors do not require power wiring, in contrast to conventional systems that require wiring throughout the car park and mounting onto the ceiling. Easy installation of the sensors is guaranteed. Once installed no maintenance is required for years. The actual status (occupancy) of the sensor is transmitted to the Relay Node, which is part of the wireless mesh network. Different types of ruggedly designed sensors are available to accommodate installation in indoor car parks, on-street spaces and road surfaces. 7/106 3 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. The SENSIT Gateway transmits status information about the sensors to the server using TCP/IP via Ethernet or GPRS communication. Figure 1: System Architecture For a parking site you need at least one SENSIT Gateway, a Relay Node and a SENSIT per parking bay. 8/106 3 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT System THE SENSIT SENSORS Three types of ruggedly designed sensors are available to accommodate installation in indoor car parks, on-street spaces and road surfaces.

Whenever the car stops for a specific period of time it considers the car to be parked and it will look for a wireless SENSIT network. If a network is detected, it will make itself know to the network. Its unique EPL identifier is registered at the server with SENSIT Interface Software (SIS). The SIS is triggered when parking bays that require a license change status (become occupied or free). When such a parking bay is occupied the system will calculate the odds of the parking bay being occupied by an unauthorized vehicle.

The main features of the SENSIT Interface Software to help you and make easy system integration possible are:
Installation Configuration Basic administration Integration The SENSIT Interface Software enables easy installation of the wireless sensor network. Once the network and sensors are installed, the sensors will automatically appear in the software. Configuration of sensors to specific parking bays, parking zone and parking lot can easily be realized. Additionally the software configures and monitors communication of the SENSIT node network. It monitors the data transfer between the sensors and the SENSIT Gateways. Moreover it also analyzes communication reliability of the sensor network in a graphical map, automatically alerting areas for maintenance. Easy integration can be done via to SOAP or REST interface. SOAP or Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information. It relies on Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) for its message format. The SOAP interface can query data from the SIS using the http(s) interface, the found data is returned in a XML description format. Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP(S). REST involves reading a designated Web page that contains an XML file. The XML file describes and includes the desired content. 18/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Installation Procedures 3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES The installation of the SENSIT system is basically the same with or without a Configuration Tool and can be described in 4 major steps: The preparation, the installation of Gateways and Relay Nodes, the installation of SENSIT sensors and finally setting up the SENSIT Interface Software. In the next 2 paragraphs both methods are describe; with- or without the Configuration Tool. The functionality and used of the Configuration tool is described in more detail in chapter 5. 4-STEPS WITHOUT THE CONFIGURATION TOOL 3.1.1 STEP 1 PREPARATION a. Arrange a scaled map of the site. b.

The estimation of needed components is based on drawings of the site. In this way you are able to get a good idea of the needed components. In this example we are going to design the SENSIT system for two segments; the parking basement and the outside parking terrain at the Nedap Headquarter office. SCALED DRAWING First get a drawing of the parking lot(s) and find out if it are open areas or closed
(indoor) areas. Try to get information about mounting locations, like lampposts and poles for Relay Nodes and power and internet for the Gateway. Below you can find a map of the Nedap Headquarter office, with its parking areas. Note Please keep in mind that with help of this RelayNodeTool you can determine the needed components, but it will always be an estimation. Figure 2: Example drawing of parking lots. The drawing of a segment can be copied out of the larger map e.g. via the standard Snipping Tool of Windows. Figure 3: The Basement and the outside area. 21/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool START A NEW PROJECT Fill-in the project details; the project title, your name and you company name. Please also indicate the country and region where the project is situated. Figure 4: RelayNodeTool: Project details THE FIRST SEGMENT Via the option Segment -> Add new segment, or click on the tab <new> you can add a segment to the design. Fill-in the segment properties; the segment name and the number of parking bays. Figure 5: RelayNodeTool: Segment properties Note The Relay Node Tool will give you a warning if you have more than 500 bays in a segment. With more than 500 bays, segmentation is necessary. Please contact your Nedap account manager for more information. 22/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool 4.3.1 IMPORT MAP First import the drawing via the Paste from clipboard option or open the map image file. Figure 6: RelayNodeTool: Map import. 4.3.2 SET THE SCALE Now set the scale, for an open area you set it at 25m if there isnt a clear indication about the size you can use the width of 10 parking bays:
Figure 7: RelayNodeTool: Scaling of the map. 23/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool 4.3.3 PLACE THE GATEWAY Place at least one Gateway for every 250 bays. Use the information you already gathered or ask the client for the installation options for the Gateway(s). At least you need a power connection and an internet connection in case of Ethernet. Figure 8: RelayNodeTool: SENSIT Gateway placement. 4.3.4 PLACE THE RELAY NODE Place the Relay Nodes at locations were you can mount it e.g. at lampposts in a way that it covers all parking bays. With the tool you can choose between Relay Nodes 2G omni- or directional.. Figure 9: RelayNodeTool: RelayNode placement. Note The Relay Node Tool will give you a warning if you have more than 16 Relay Nodes in a segment. With more than 16 Relay Nodes, segmentation might be necessary. Please contact your Nedap account manager for more information. 24/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool THE SECOND SEGMENT Via the option Segment -> Add new segment, or click on the tab <new> you can add a segment to the design. Fill-in the segment properties; the segment name and the number of parking bays. Figure 10: RelayNodeTool: Segment properties 4.4.1 IMPORT MAP Also import the drawing for the second segment via the Paste from clipboard option or open the map image file. Figure 11: RelayNodeTool: Map import for the second segment. 25/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool 4.4.2 SET THE SCALE Also Set the scale, this location is a parking basement with a roof, large concrete columns and walls. This will influence the range of the Relay Nodes and therefore we advise to reduce the range with about 20%, so set the range to about 20m e.g. the width of 8 parking bays. Figure 12: RelayNodeTool: Scaling of the map. 4.4.3 PLACE THE GATEWAY Because this basement parking area is half open we can use the Gateway of the open area, so we dont need to add one for this segment. 26/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL RelayNodeTool 4.4.4 PLACE THE RELAY NODE Place the Relay Nodes at locations were you can mount it e.g. at lampposts in a way that it covers all parking bays. With the tool you can choose between Relay Nodes 2G omni- or directional. There are 2 large concrete walls and after every 3 parking bays there is large concrete pillar, all is indicated with red. This will influence the range and radiation pattern of the Relay Nodes. Figure 13: Imported map with concrete wall and pillar indication. Probably with only 3 Relay Nodes 2G it is possible to get coverage of all bays, but because of these large influencing concrete objects we used 2 Relay Nodes 2G extra to make sure all SENSIT sensors are sufficient reachable.

The SENSIT Interface Software enables easy installation of the wireless sensor network. Once the network and sensors are installed and calibrated, the sensors will automatically appear in the software. Configuration of sensors to specific parking bays, parking zones and parking lot can easily be realized. Additionally the software configures and monitors communication of the SENSIT node network. It monitors the data transfer between the sensors and the SENSIT Gateways. Moreover it also analyzes communication reliability of the sensor network in a graphical map, automatically alerting areas for maintenance. The SENSIT Interface Software is installed on a hosted server, so no IT infrastructure is required at the client. The software application can be approached with any modern web browser that supports Java can connect to the software application. Each sensor site has a site specific URL indicated in the following way;

The Dashboard page contains several Widgets. A Widget summarizes and displays the actual state of SENSIT system. Figure 42: Dashboard screen The Dashboard contains six main Widget categories: SENSIT sensor, Relay Nodes, Gateways, The wireless Network, the Server and system notifications. The functions of the Dashboard are self-explaining by hover over pop-ups and help balloons when needed. Every widget can be configured via the configuration symbol at the right corner of every widget, see figure below. The configuration symbol will automatically show if you move your mouse to the specific widget. In this screen you can change the different widget settings. Figure 43: Configuration symbol and widget settings screen PARKING ENFORCEMENT The Parking enforcement is a secondary dashboard, designed to give the user an overview on all parking enforcement related information. This parking enforcement dashboard summarizes and displays the actual status of a specific parking zone. Note Configuration is only available under sensitadv login. 65/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 44: Parking enforcement dashboard screen Different enforcement information of all parking zones are displayed: Permits in use, Occupied permit bays, Occupied bays, Bays in overstay and the Permit violations. The Electronic Parking License (EPL) is a hardware device that is physically placed inside a vehicle or it is an App that is running on a smartphone. Whenever the vehicle with EPL hardware stops moving for a specific period of time, the EPL considers the vehicle to be parked. In that case, the EPL hardware will search for a SENSIT wireless network. If a network is detected, the EPL will make itself known to the network. As a result the unique EPL identifier is registered within the SENSIT Server system. The user of the EPL App is doing the same, it activates the parking action with it smartphone. When a parking bay that requires a license, becomes occupied, the SENSIT system is notified. The system will calculate the odds of the parking bay being occupied by an unauthorized vehicle. 17.5.1 PERMIT ADMINISTRATION In these screens all permit administration is performed. A permit is issued to a person and it can be a hardware EPL or an EPL App installed on a smart phone. Figure 45: Permit administration screen Note An EPL is only valid for a selected (blue highlighted) Permit zone. 66/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software New permits can be added and existing permits can be edited or removed. A Residential permit number can be enter, name, license plate number and the EPL node ID in case of a issued hardware EPL. The permit can be disable and an expiration date can be used, an empty expiration date means valid forever. Than one or multiple parking zones can be selected where the permit is valid. Zone creation is explained in the next paragraph. Figure 46: Edit permit screen After creating a new permit, by filling in all needed details, a QR-code is automatically generated. The EPL App needs this QR-code. The QR-code contains the URL of the SIS where the permit is created and a unique identifier. 17.5.2 PERMIT ZONE CONFIGURATION In these screens all permit zone configuration is performed. A permit zone is a selection of one or multiple parking bays. A list of all available, already entered, zones are displayed in the screen below. Figure 47: Permit zone configuration screen New permit zones can be added and existing permits zones can be edited or removed. A permit zone name and description can be entered and the bays can be assigned in the selection screen. 67/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 48: Add/Edit a permit zone screen A permit zone can be a parking lot(s), a parking zone(s), one or a selection of bays.

SENSIT Gateway connection settings In this menu you can set 'Host name' and communication 'Port' for the SENSIT Gateway. The SENSIT Gateway is displayed as a node, see below. The hostname of the SENSIT Gateway can normally be found on the housing. The SENSIT Server will try to establish a connection with the specified SENSIT Gateway. This does not work on remote hosted SENSIT Servers. See gateway server settings above. The screen provides an overview of the current SENSIT Gateway settings. When entering new SENSIT Gateways, the table is automatically updated. 68/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 50: SENSIT Gateway server settings 17.6.2 NODE CROSS CHECK The menu option 'Node cross check' displays all nodes currently visible in the system that are not allocated to a parking bay. These could be new or replaced SENSITs, but also the Relay Nodes and SENSIT Gateways are shown here. Moreover this screen also displays parking bays without a node (if this information is entered via the parking bay configuration). Figure 51: Node cross check 17.6.3 NODE PRESENCE This screen will display information on the last received message from each node present in the network. It will outline the Node ID, type number, version and the timestamp of the last received message. Node presence check (min) If a node does not respond within a certain time period after transmission of the last message, the SENSIT Server will check if the node is still available. In this menu option you can select the time after receiving the last message (in minutes) when to send the Node presence check. Node presence check retry The 'Node presence check retry' specifies the number of times the SENSIT Server shall try to connect to the node. 69/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 52: Node presence In the screenshot above several nodes are listed in the node cross check. For example node id 00.0000.72BC is a SENSIT IR (type 3109). Every different type of node has its own Type code, see below the general use types:

Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6 Column 7 Figure 54: Example parking bay configuration csv-file Select the csv-file by clicking the 'Browse'-button, then click 'Import' to import the selected file. When the csv-file is imported, the screen will display the information. At each given moment you can verify in this table the allocated SENSIT / Parking bay bindings. Refer to the node cross check display to verify if all SENSIT are assigned to a parking bay (see chapter 17.6.2). It is possible to incrementally expand the Parking bay configuration list by importing only additional allocation information (Parking lot ID, Zone ID, bay/place number and Node ID) via a new csv-file. Figure 55: Parking bay configuration Click the small green checkbox icon to (temporarily) inform the system that the parking bay is unavailable. Click the small pencil at the end of a row, an Update Node ID screen shows up, here you can change the Node ID number and the GPS coordinates. This can be used to replace a SENSIT or to correct a mistake. Note Ensure that the filename and file path do not include any spaces. Note The order of parkinglotid in the Monitor configuration screen determines the order of TABs in the Monitor map screen. 71/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 56: Update Node ID 17.7.3 PARKING LOT CONFIGURATION The parking state logging feature periodically saves occupancy status in the database. This feature must be enabled for the occupancy chart feature described in chapter 17.9.2. Enable the 'parking lot state logging on' checkbox to start logging occupancy status of the parking lot in the database. The parking lot state logging interval setting selects the logging period in minutes. By default this is set to 60 minutes. Figure 57: Parking lot configuration 17.7.4 MONITOR CONFIGURATION Site Name Fill in here the site name. Monitor Color Mapping Configure here the color mapping for the actual monitor status (free, occupied, overstay, and disabled).The selected colors are used in the monitor screen. Map List Here you can load the parking lot graphic file (SVG-format) into the system and assign it to a parking lot. The SVG-file can be created with Inkscape
(http://inkscape.org). Nedap has an extension available for Inkscape that should be used to define where the parking bays are located on the map. See the advanced section, chapter 18.1 for more explanation and the workflow about the Inkscape program. When the SVG-file is created, enter the ParkinglotID and the title. Then select the svg-file by clicking the 'Browse'-button and click Upload' to upload the selected file into the system. 72/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 58: Inkscape 17.7.5 OVERSTAY CONFIGURATION The SENSIT Server can be used for overstay applications, specifically where there is a need for a maximum time limit for free parking. The menu 'Overstay configuration'
allows you to set several overstay parameters. Figure 59: Overstay configuration System overstay settings With this option the global overstay function can be enabled. The settable Allowed parking time is the overstay time for all SENSIT sensors defined at the SENSIT Interface Server. This setting determines how long a parking bay should be occupied before an overstay situation occurs. Overstay verification settings When enabled, the SENSIT Interface Server will ask the SENSIT sensor if all state events are received in case of an overstay. The last state event message is transmitted again to the SENSIT Server to verify the overstay. The Max number of retries (max value is 5) can be set. If an overstay verification fail it retry to receive the last state event message. If the final overstay verify attempts fail an unverified overstay event is generated. 73/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software 17.7.6 SENSOR CALIBRATION To ensure reliable operation of the system the SENSIT sensors should be calibrated before commissioning. Calibration values can be set for the magnetic detection in each axis (x, y and z). Default calibration values are 50 mGauss in each axis. The default value for the IR sensitivity is 9, the maximum. The IR sensitivity is only lowered in case of a ceiling or other coverage of the SENSIT sensors. Figure 60: SENSIT sensor calibration SENSIT nodes can be calibrated individually. This by entering the Node ID of the specific sensor you want to calibrate into the field 'Calibrate node number'. Alternatively you can calibrate all nodes or the nodes from a specific parking lot. When you click 'Calibrate all nodes' all SENSIT sensors in the network will automatically be calibrated. Click the 'Calibrate' button to start the calibration. In the menu an update message will start to keep you update on progress. Incorrect occupied spaces can be indicated if a vehicle parked in the neighboring parking space activates the magnetic sensor. If the percentage of incorrect occupied
(so actually free) is too high over the parking lot, the magnetic values can be adjusted by selecting a higher value e.g. 60 mGauss. If the percentage of incorrect free (actually occupied) spaces is too high the sensitivity of the magnetic threshold can be reduced to lower value e.g. 40 mGauss. 17.7.7 DISPLAY Display Configuration The 'Display configuration' screen allows you to control a display via the node network. This without any physical communication wiring. Only a power supply is required. The communication with a display is realized via a display node. Note that this functionality is only available for specific displays. Contact Nedap for more information. The display node is part of the network and can therefore communicate wirelessly via the node network. A maximum number of 2 displays can be controlled in a wireless mesh network of 500 sensors. Use of more displays will increase the communication latency. The update of a Display can be enabled and the update interval can be set. A choice can be made either to subtract the full threshold from the display value on forehand or to set the display at zero when the threshold value is reached. Note The SENSIT nodes can only be calibrated when the specific bay and neighboring bays are not occupied by vehicle. When all SENSIT nodes need to be calibrated the parking lot must be completely empty. 74/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software Figure 61: Display configuration The display will show the total number of available spaces on all the parking zones and parking lots it has been assigned to. In case you want to display information on individual zones, we advise you to allocate one display node to each parking zone. The display configuration information is imported into the system via a csv-file
(comma separated values). The following information should be entered into the csv-file separated by a comma (' , '). Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Parking lot ID. Zone ID. Display node ID. Full threshold. When less parking places are available, the display will indicate FULL. Figure 62: Example display configuration csv-file Select the csv-file by clicking the 'Browse'-button, then click 'Import' to import the selected file. Display Current View The display current view shows the actual display information per display node. Display View Settings The display view settings allow configuring the weekdays and time periods during which the display information should be updated. This can be used for example in cases where the display should be off during nighttime. 75/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL SENSIT Interface Software MONITOR OCCUPANCY REPORT The occupancy report displays the actual number of occupied bays in a parking lot.

These SVG-file images can be created with an open-sources program Inkscape
(http://inkscape.org). Nedap has an extension available for Inkscape that should be used to define where the parking bays, Relay Nodes and Gateways are located on the map. After installing Inkscape and the Nedap Inkscape extensions the program can be started. By selecting Extensions -> SENSIT -> Create Bay bays can be added to the drawing and by selecting Extensions -> SENSIT -> Create Node nodes (Relay nodes or SENSIT Gateways) can be added to the drawing. See also the figure below. Figure 81: Inkscape SENSIT extensions After selecting the Create bay option a pop-up window appears, see Figure 82 below. You can add bays to the drawing. In this way a simple representation of the parking lot can be created. In this example 6 bays (bay number 1 to 6) are created.

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. SENSIT Flush Mount - Magnetic sensor suitable to be built-into the floor of each parking space. SENSIT Surface Mount - Magnetic and optical sensor for mounting onto the floor of a parking space 2 3 What is the accuracy of the SENSIT Flush Mount?
The magnetic sensor can achieve an accuracy of 95%. What is the accuracy of the SENSIT IR and SENSIT Surface Mount?
The combination of the magnetic and optical sensor has an average accuracy of above 98%. How scalable is the SENSIT system?
The SENSIT system is quite scalable. The theoretical maximum number of SENSIT nodes in one network is about 65000. In general, large installation need to be divided into smaller sub-networks (segments), which makes it better manageable and easier to understand. Sites that have more than 500 sensors or more than 15 Relay Nodes need segmentation. Please contact your Nedap account manager. What is the temperature range for the SENSIT and SENSIT IR?
The temperature range for both SENSIT as well SENSIT IR is -40C to 85C [-40 to 185F]. Temperatures below -30C [-22F] might affect accuracy of the magnetic sensor. The accuracy on the optical sensor remains unchanged. How does the energy efficient Wireless SENSIT Network work?
The medium access protocol is based upon time division multiple access (TDMA). Time is divided into time slots, which (Relay) nodes can use to transfer data without having to content for the medium or having to deal with energy wasting collisions of 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. In this way the devices comply with FCC regulations. If a SENSIT sensor decides to transmit a messages it asks the first Relay Node within reach if it is allowed to transmit a message to this Relay Node, if allowed the Relay Node will receive the message from the SENSIT and retransmits this message to the next Relay Node or directly to the SENSIT Gateway. Can a SENSIT sensor been used to replace a loop detector?
The SENSIT sensor is designed to detect a changes in either optical or earth magnetic field. A continuous flow of traffic would generate a constant status change. Moreover since the system is based on wireless communication, communication is 88/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions slower compared to hard wired loop. We therefore do not advise to use the SENSIT sensor to replace safety loops for critical applications. MAGNETIC SENSOR Is the magnetic sensor influenced by snow or ice?
We have tested the system with about 15 cm (5.9 in) of snow during multiple tests. Snow did not affect the accuracy of the magnetic performance. Is the magnetic sensor influenced by dirt?
The magnetic sensor is not influenced by dirt like sand, mud or leafs. How quickly does the magnetic sensor in the node react to a change in status?
Default the magnetic sensor checks its status change every second. Can the magnetic sensor see the magnetic difference between a car and truck?
In a static parking application a SENSIT sensor cannot observe a difference between a small vehicle and a large truck. The variation in the earth magnetic field changes under a car or truck does not depend on the height of the vehicle but on where a car or truck stops. See also the image below to clarify this in more details. Image 1: Vehicle & earth magnetic field Image 2: Truck & earth magnetic field How does the SENSIT sensor detect a car and changes the magnetic status from free into occupied?
The magnetic status of the SENSIT sensor has changed if at any axis (X, Y, and Z) changes more than 50mGauss compared to the stored calibration vector. Normally the earth magnetic field vector is about 500mGauss. This can vary allot from place to place. In order to set the SENSIT sensor to local earth magnetic field we advise to calibrate the sensors. 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 isnt set. By default the overdrive filter is set to eliminate these kinds of messages. After setting the overdrive filter the SENSIT sensor will only transmit a status change event if the SENSIT sensor has been occupied of free for the set time. 19.2.1 CALIBRATION Why calibrate?
The local earth magnetic field vector (value and direction) at an installed SENSIT sensor depends on the orientation of the SENSIT sensor, the amount of metal in the neighborhood and the location on the earth. When the calibration is done this local earth magnetic field vector is stored. It is therefore necessary to always calibrate the sensors. Note Setting or changing the overdrive filter affects reaction time. Note Default the overdrive filter is set at 8 seconds. 89/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions How can I see if the calibration is done correctly?
When connecting the SENSIT Gateway to the SIS, the SIS software will indicate calibration errors for sensors which are not calibrated. In the Sensor data message there is a magnetic un-calibrated bit which warns you if the SENSIT sensor thinks it is not calibrated well. Does the parking need to be fully empty to calibrate the SENSIT sensors?
Yes, preferably the parking needs to be fully empty in order to calibrate the SENSIT sensors. If you need to calibrate a single parking bay it is sufficient if only all neighboring bays are empty. Easy calibration can be realized through the SIS website. My parking lot is hardly ever empty, how can I calibrate the sensors?
If it is not possible to calibrate the entire parking lot, we suggest calibrating the parking lot section by section directly after installation of the SENSITs. OPTICAL SENSOR What is the measuring interval of the optical sensor?
The optical sensors periodically checks once per second if there is a status change.
(You can extend battery life by setting slowing measuring intervals.) Why is the SENSIT IR featured with two detection technologies?
Double detection technology provides a higher accuracy rate. Each detection technology has its advantages and disadvantages. The combination of both ensures a reliable detection product in all circumstances and differentiates our product from any other product in the market. The optical sensor is potentially more accurate but sensitive for dirt, snow and ice. We specify an average accuracy of 95% for the SENSIT Flush Mount (only magnet) and 98% for the SENSIT IR (magnet and optical). In cases of snow or the optical sensor being covered the unit will automatically switch to earth magnetic field detection. Which sensor is making the decision; occupied or free?
In most cases the optical sensor is indicating the final status. The algorithm inside the SENSIT sensor decides which type of sensor to trust. Of course you can ignore this and decide for yourself which sensor to use, because the state of the magnetic and the optical sensor is available. 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. In case the sensor is covered with snow or frost it will be seen as occupied. In the sensor data message there is a bit that warns you for possible ice on the SENSIT sensor. As the SENSIT IR is featured with dual sensing technology you can also decide to switch the sensors to magnetic detection in winter periods using the SIS software. Beside that on the SIS there is a global ice detection algorithm implemented which automatically can decide to switch to the magnetic sensor in case of ice or snow. See chapter 17.10.1 for more information. 90/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions Is the optical sensor influenced by dirt?
The optical sensor is designed to not easily be covered with little amounts of dust or sand and therefore this will not affect the performance. Larger amounts of dirt will disable the optical sensor. At an outdoor parking-lot, the self-cleaning surface of the SENSIT IR ensures that dirt is automatically flushed of and does not easily attach to the SENSIT IR. This makes it a very usable and practical system. The sites world-wide installed outdoors have since installation (in about 2006) never been cleaned. What happens in case of sandstorms, when the optical sensor is covered?
When the optical is covered with sand the sensor cannot detect reflections of a vehicle that parks over the SENSIT sensor. So the optical sensor will indicate a free bay, the secondary (magnetic) sensor will detect the movement of the different cars above the SENSIT sensor. After a few (default: 10) mismatches between the continuous occupied optical sensor and the magnetic sensor the final status will be indicated by the magnetic sensor. As soon as the optical sensor is clean, the SENSIT sensor will automatically switch back to optical detection again. Is the SENSIT IR affected by direct sun light?
Normally the optical IR sensor is not affected by sunlight. Only at locations close to the equator when the sun is directly above the SENSIT IR the optical sensor can give an overexposure alert, which will indicate a free bay. 19.3.1 CALIBRATION What is the maximum range of the optical sensor?
The IR reflection depends very much on the reflection coefficient of surface it radiates at. Ceilings of over 3 meters (9 feet) are seen by the optical sensor. You can set the sensitivity of the optical sensor when applying the sensors for indoor applications. Can the optical sensor been used indoors?
The optical sensor can be used indoors, for this the IR transmitting power needs to be adjusted (calibrated) to avoid the unit from detecting the ceiling. MORE INFORMATION SENSIT AND MOUNTING What filling material should I use?
The best way to fix the SENSIT sensors into the floor of the parking space is using rapid mortar (eg.TM 5R). Ensure to fixate the SENSIT sensors during curing time, to avoid them from floating in the mortar. When you want to use another brand of rapid mortal please sent us the datasheet so we can analyze this and advise you on use. Is a SENSIT IR snow plough resistant?
When using the SENSIT IR in environments with snowy weather conditions, we advise to set a tolerance on the snow plough of 2 cm [0.78 in] to ensure the top of the sensor is not damaged by the snow plough. The SENSIT IR is not fully snow plough resistant; however it can withstand a few incidental hits. The SENSIT Flush Mount is snow plough resistant and can be used in areas with frequent snow conditions, at the cost of a bit lower accuracy. 91/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions INSTALLATION How much time does an installation take?
Based on installation experiences, an estimation of the needed man hours for installing about 100 SENSIT IR is provided below. Task Preparation Description Man hours Making a simple drawing of the parking lot and upload it to the SIM Installation SENSIT IR Determine location of every SENSIT IR, drilling holes and fixing them Installation Relay Nodes Testing Mounting the Relay Nodes Making a csv file, upload it to the SIS and verify if all SENSIT sensors are online How do I start?
Please read chapter 3 of this document for a 4-step installation plan. BATTERY LIFE 2 8 1 4 What is the battery life?
The battery life of the SENSIT sensor in a good performing network is 5 years this with default settings of the network and the measurement intervals. Can batteries be exchanged?
The SENSIT sensors are fully sealed to ensure reliable operation in the outdoor environment and to avoid any water leakage to the electronics. The batteries cannot be replaced, as this would create water leakage and unreliable operation. The SENSIT sensor needs to be replaced after end of battery life. The batteries of the Relay Node 2G can be replaced, see chapter 10.7. Can I extend battery life of the SENSIT sensor by adjusting communication settings?
Yes you can extend battery life by adjusting the communication settings. Default the SENSIT sensors are set to 16 timeslots. This communication setting will realize a battery life time of 5 years and will achieve a good latency (fast and reliable communication network). For applications where slower communication (more latency) is allowed 32 timeslots is recommended to extend battery life time. Installations using over 15 Relay Nodes should also be set to 32 time slots. How can I change the communication settings to extend battery life?
Please consult Nedap how to change the communication settings if your application allows slower communication or if your application needs more than 15 Relay Nodes. How do we know if a SENSIT sensor runs out of batteries?
The battery voltages will be requested by the SENSIT Interface Server on a regular basis. The SIS will display an icon in the node presence list in the SIS if the battery is low or almost empty. See chapter 17.10.2 and chapter 17.10.3 for more information. If I keep the product in stock for some time, do the batteries run down?
When shipped the units are in stock/transport mode to save battery life. That is why you need to swipe the SENSIT sensors with a reset magnet to get them out of stock Note A network uptime below 99% will reduce the battery life significantly. 92/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions mode. In stock/transport mode the SENSIT sensors hardly use any power. In this way you can have a SENSIT sensor in stock for e.g. a year without influencing the final battery life. RELAY NODES What is a Relay Node?
A Relay node consists of a SENSIT configured in an active role and a Relay Node mounting set. The mounting set allows for easy mounting of the Relay node onto a lamppost. The Relay node is a normal SENSIT but configured differently, a Relay Node has a more active role in the wireless network compared to a SENSIT. That is why we call a Relay Node an active node and a SENSIT a passive node. The continuous transmitting and receiving of an active node consumes more power than a passive node who is only listening to a few active nodes to stay synchronized and to receive incoming messages. The battery life of the Relay Node will be about 2 to 3 years. The advantage is that a Relay Node is still completely wireless and does not require any power or communication cabling. What is a Relay Node 2G?
A Relay node 2G is a dedicated product for relaying message from the SENSIT sensors to the SENSIT Gateway. The Relay Node 2G has an active role and in the Wireless SENSIT Network. The battery lifetime of the Relay Node 2G is similar as the lifetime of the SENSIT sensors. The Relay Node 2G is wireless and does not require any power or communication cabling. Why are Relay Nodes required?
Relay nodes are required to ensure a faster communication path to the SENSIT Gateways, a more robust network and less energy consumption. Relay Nodes are required to ensure that SENSIT sensors positioned in the area can communicate directly via the Relay Node back to the central system. If each SENSIT sensor would need to communicate via the other SENSIT sensors installed in the floor, more communication hops are needed. This will cause a slower communicating network, with a higher chance of missing a message and higher energy consumption. How much Relay Nodes do I need to install?
The number of Relay Nodes depends on various parameters: number of SENSIT sensors, distances and obstructions. A minimum of 1 Relay Nodes and 1 SENSIT Gateway is required per installation to create a 2 path communication possibility for each SENSIT sensor. Nedap can provide you with more detailed information on the amount of Relay Nodes per installation for your site. Has Nedap a tool to determine the number of needed Relay Nodes?
There is a tool available to make a better estimation of needed equipment, see chapter 4. Please ask your Nedap account manager for more information. Note Use of Relay nodes is mandatory to ensure a fast communicating, more stable and a less energy consuming SENSIT network. 93/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions What is the communication distance between Relay Nodes and other components of the system?
Below the maximum recommended distances between the different nodes.

After end of battery life, the SENSIT can easily be taken out of the Relay Node mounting set. Only the SENSIT sensor configured as Relay Node would need to be replaced. The batteries of a Relay Node 2G can be replaced, see chapter 10.7.

Yes, the Relay Nodes can also be used for indoor car parks, see also picture below. Indoor car parks might require more Relay Nodes due to mounting height restrictions and influence of concrete on communication. SENSIT GATEWAY What is the SENSIT Gateway?
The SENSIT Gateway is the central unit which collects the events from SENSIT sensors via the Relay nodes and transmits this information to the host system or SENSIT Interface Software. What is a Data Collector?
The Data Collector is the previous name for the SENSIT Gateway. Can I implement data from the SENSIT Gateway directly?
No, this feature is not supported and subject to change. For easy integration we advise to use the SENSIT Interface Software. What is the most critical part of the SENSIT system?
The most critical part is the SENSIT Gateway when the power of the SENSIT Gateway is interrupted or if the SENSIT Gateway is damaged the whole Wireless SENSIT Network will stop working. Only with a good and powered SENSIT Gateway the wireless network will start. By using an UPS, (short) power failure can be solved. 94/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions Where do I mount the SENSIT Gateway?
The SENSIT Gateway can be installed within 25 m [84 ft] from the first SENSIT node or Relay Node. Be sure not to position the SENSIT Gateway in a metal enclosure as it will block the RF communication. The SENSIT Gateway can be mounted in a plastic housing, which is transparent for RF signals. What power wiring (cable specs) do I need for the standard Data Collector?
Power: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 180mA, Power input: 5 VDC, max 1A Power consumption: 5VA Communication between Data Collector and SIS: Ethernet Cat 5 E Can the Data Collector GPRS be powered by a solar panel?
There are already several customers who autonomously power the Data Collector GPRS with a solar panel. Also the Data Collector GPRS at the Nedap test-site is powered by a solar panel
(since December 2011). The autonomous solar panel system at the Nedap test-site is a 30Wp Solar panel, a charge regulator and two 22Ah /12V battery in parallel. See picture at the right The Data Collector will not consume more than 60mA at 12VDC on average. Can the SENSIT Gateway be powered by a solar panel?
The SENSIT Gateway can also be powered by a Solar panel and it will not consume more than 120mA at 12VDC on average. How much data will a the SENSIT Gateway use?
Normally the data usage will be below 250MB per month. Can I replace the antenna for one that I can mount on top of a metal box and keep the SENSIT Gateway inside this metal cabinet?
As for operational purposes this should not be an issue, on the condition that a suitable antenna is applied. However ETSI and FCC does not allow change of the antenna, and therefore as a manufacturer we cannot approve antenna change for this reason. How often does the SENSIT sensor send an event to the SENSIT Gateway to alert a status change?
The SENSIT sensor sends an event message immediately after a status change. The baud-rate of the Data Collector is 115200 can I change it into another value?
The baud-rate of the Data Collector is fixed, you cannot change it. Can I built the SENSIT Gateway into a pay & display machine?
Yes, when the pay & display machine is featured with Ethernet communication, this communication could be applied. Keep into consideration that the RF antenna of the Gateway should be positioned behind RF transparent material (such as plastic) and not incorporated in metal. 95/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions SENSIT INTERFACE SOFTWARE (SIS) What is the SIS?
The SIS (SENSIT Interface Software) allows for easy configuration and filtering of event messages received by the SENSIT Gateway. The SIS enables configuration, installation, basic administration and integration of the SENSIT system SIS functionality includes;
Easy integration via SOAP or REST Easy remote support via web interface DNNP (Dynamic Node Numbering Protocol) Connection of multiple SENSIT Gateways Filtering of events Easy event configuration Easy management of the entire Wireless SENSIT Network Automatic calibration Debug and analyze tool Automatic collection of missing messages Configuration of parking bays Stand-alone system with control of display per zone. Graphics to indicate parking spaces and overstay Why use a SIS?
Configuration and integration of the data from the SENSIT system becomes much easier. The site can be accessed remotely allowing Nedap to give you better support on the installation. Can I control a display with the SIS?
Yes using a wireless display node built-into a display, the display can become part of the Wireless SENSIT Network (WSN). You can set in the SIS software which parking zone the display should control and indicate. See chapter 17.7.7 for more information. Using this option a simple standalone application could be created with displays indicating available spaces. No more than 2 wireless displays are allowed in the WSN to make sure the display messages arent influencing the WSN too much. 96/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions How does the overstay sequence work?
The accuracy of detection is of critical importance when using the information for enforcement applications. You want to avoid issuing unjustified tickets. In the table below the whole overstay sequence and how to check an overstay is explained. Event Car parked Overdrive filter (8s) passed. Event at DC No change after 1 hour Overstay time elapsed Verify message received Verify event received T t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 SENSIT SIS Detected optical +
magnetic Event created and transmitted, including;
sequence number, t2 Event stored in database, including; t2, t3 and t4. SIS verifies sequence number Event (created at t2) retransmitted Event already stored, so ignored by SIS Bay status changed into: overstay, verify request transmitted Last event (created at t2) is retransmitted t9 Bay status changed into: verified overstay Enforcement officer is notified and arrives at the bay, enforcer sends verification request SOAP request received Verify message received Verify event received t10 Verify request transmitted t11 Last event (created at t2) is retransmitted t12 Bay status answered via the SOAP Enforcer receives verification and can decide to issue a ticket after his final observations. How do we know when a SENSIT or Relay Node is working well?
With the node cross check menu on the SIS you can detect if all SENSIT sensors are still communicating. Logged in as an advanced user it is possible to get a graphical overview of the performance of the wireless SENSIT network. For more information, see chapter 17.9.5. 97/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions NETWORK & COMMUNICATION How much events can a SENSIT node store?
Every SENSIT node is capable of storing 32 events in its internal memory. What causes the latency of a SENSIT sensor?
The latency is built up out of different aspects;
The measurement interval;
The interval the SENSIT sensor verifies it status changed, default set at 1 second. The overdrive filter;
The overdrive delay set in the SENSIT sensor is by default set at 8 seconds. The number of hops;
The number of hops a message needs to arrive at the SENSIT Gateway, every hop Passive collisions;
In a busy car park multiple SENSIT sensors want to transmit their status change message simultaneous, which might create passive collisions. In order to reduce this we advise to ensure that each SENSIT sensor can at least communicate with 2 Relay Nodes offering multiple communication paths. takes about 2 seconds. Example with default settings and without passive collisions:
The magnetic and optical sensor measures every second if the status of the bay is changed. The overdrive filter waits 8 seconds before it transmits the event. In this example the event is transmitted via 2 Relay Nodes; first from the SENSIT to the nearest Relay Node and then from this Relay Node to the Relay Node close to the SENSIT Gateway and finally from this Relay Node to the SENSIT Gateway. The total (worst-case) time needed is:
Measurement + overdrive + SENSITRN + RNRN + RN SENSIT Gateway
= 1+8+2+2+2 = 15s Example with default settings and with one passive collision:
The magnetic and optical sensor measures every second if the status of the bay is changed. The overdrive filter waits 8 seconds before it transmits the event. In this example the event is transmitted via 2 Relay Nodes; the sequence of transmitting the messages is the same as in the example above but now a collision occurred in the first transmission; another SENSIT transmitted an event at the same time to the Relay Nodes. The total (worst-
case) time needed is now:
Measurement + overdrive + collision + SENSITRN + RNRN + RN SENSIT Gateway = 1+8+10+2+2+2 = 25s How many seconds does an event message take in general?
The transfer time is depending on the number of hops and if passive collisions take place. A collision free transfer via one Relay Node takes less than 5 seconds, for every extra hop add 2 seconds. For a busy parking lot take into account at least 10 seconds extra for possible passive collisions. Is the package number always increasing per SENSIT?
Yes, the package number is automatically increased in sequence number per SENSIT and the message is unique based on a combination of SENSIT ID number and package number. 98/10 63 SENSIT SYSTEM | MANUAL Frequently Asked Questions How do we map the double words corresponding to "Sent time" and "event time" to real dates?
The double word is the time in seconds from January 1st 1970 this is also used within UNIX and therefore also known as 'Unix-time'. TECHNICAL MATTERS What is the MTBF of the various components of the Wireless Space Count system?
In the table below the MTBF, MTTR and MTTF is given, so far this are estimated values.
