The Car Park is a vital part of our modern transportation network. Car parks need to be close to the places that they serve. Whilst many car parks are out in the open, real-estate is often very limited in these areas, resulting in car parks being relegated to enclosed spaces within buildings or underground. A combination of the enclosed space with inadequate natural ventilation and the presence of large numbers of vehicles can lead to very poor air quality in indoor car parks.
IoTPortal enables constant monitoring of the entire car park via an array of sensors, and control of ventilation fans to address air quality issue and maintain a safe and healthy environment for car park users and staff.
Air quality and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) monitoring rely on manual devices, leading to infrequent readings.
Ventilation fans are controlled manually which can allow air quality to deteriorate. Or they may run continuously 24/7 resulting in excessive power consumption.
Car park systems lack integration across vital aspects like air quality, ventilation, and space availability, hampering efficiency.
Retrofitting sensor and control systems to car parks brings many challenges, including long cable lengths and issues with providing power to each sensor.
Setting up and operating automated systems can require significant staff training as well as ongoing reliance on external contractor.
The system shown uses several of BRT Systems’ sensors to monitor the critical parameters within the Car Park System. The IoTPortal Gateway manages the Long-Distance Sensor Bus (LDSBus) consisting of up to 80 sensor units and over distances of 200m per bus allowing use in Car Parks with multiple parking floors.
Constant monitoring of the level of harmful gases from a range of sensors located around the car park. Real-time displays and data export for analysis.
Individual ventilation fans can be enabled only when needed, reducing wear, noise and power consumption.
The common platform for all sensors and actuators allows events to be set up. For example, switch on extractor fans when the air quality drops below a configurable threshold.
The LDSBus uses convenient RJ45 connectors and CAT5e/6 cabling in a simple daisy chained configuration. The bus provides power to the sensors avoiding the need for batteries or power outlets.
The smartphone app and dashboard are easy to use for all members of staff. Set up different user permissions so that you can specify whether that can view the system or can change settings etc.
