WHAT IS P-PGI ?
​
P-PGI stands for Pulsar Parking Guidance & Information System and is an autonomous 24/7 system fulfilling several needs in the mobility domain around parking and traffic guidance, in order to support the mobility optimization for public and private actors.
​
​
A known issue with the detectors, sensors, and whatever counting systems, is the impossibility to count, process, and output the correct exact number of free places.
This happens for multiple reasons :
​
-
imperfection of sensors and detectors in specific weather conditions (night, rain, fog, snow, direct sun, etc)
-
imperfection of sensors and detectors in specific car behaviors (very slow, very fast, etc)
-
drivers positioning their car wrongly (over 2 places, in a place that is not a official spot, etc)
-
different vehicles (motorcycles counted as cars but parked aside, etc)
​
For this reason, all parking system need to have a mean to adapt from time to time the total of free places to the reality, so the guidance system displays the right number of free spots.
As the P-PGI system allows connecting to sensors and detectors thru a specialized local module, our engineers developed a Mobile Application allowing city administrators or their contractors to remotely adapt the number of free spots in the system, by simply visiting and visually counting the free spots.

ADVANTAGES
A Smart City PRODUCT
P-PGI offers precious services to the cities administrators, supporting the mobility improvement through new technologies, data integration, information processing, and multiple ways of displaying data to citizens.
Free parking spots, road works and deviations, city events impacting the mobility, city news, and other useful information can be displayed on-street.
For parking guidance purpose for instance, the parking name is displayed, together with the number of free spaces, the direction to reach it, and the distance to it. This helps drivers finding and choosing free parking places in the city. The system is also used in the private sector, for instance to guide driving visitors to the right car park within the company campus.
P-PGI can smoothly be integrated with other city’s systems and data.
HOW IT WORKS
The P-PGI system works basically in three main steps :
-
It processes static and real-time data coming from different sources within cities (and from highways outside the cities), like : parkings management systems, detectors, sensors, and other systems
-
Filter, store, aggregate, manipulate data coming from the data source to prepare the displaying to citizens and drivers
-
Allows city administrators to view data, modify it, and add business rules to its displaying
-
-
Displays static and real-time data to citizens and drivers, on several supports : dynamic traffic signs, on-street displays, Mobile Application, Open Data (European DATEXII format).
