Company: ADEC Technologies
Founded: 2009
Team: 5 employees
HQ: Eschenbach, Switzerland
Person in Charge: Andreas Hartmann
Field of Activity: ICT, Detector for traffic and parking applications
Core Competence: Development, production and sale of detectors for road traffic and parking industry
Name of our Solution: LoRaWAN-read Quad-Tech Parking Space Detector
What is our Solution: A detector with accompanying server infrastructure consisting of server- and client-side scripts and data storage
Our solution detects and forwards vacancy/occupancy status of each parking space to Internet using battery-powered, radio-connected in-ground or on-ground parking detectors. Occupancy-state is forwarded to the Internet via solar-powered 3G gateway or directly to LoRa-gateway where data accessible via Internet web-browser and web-APIs through https for OEMs such as mobile app manufacturers etc.
The company
ADEC Technologies was founded in 2009 with the aim to provide industry-leading combination of product excellence and customer care. The company has established itself as quality supplier of highperformance traffic detectors. Within the first three years of operation, ADEC has already sold over 2,000 traffic detectors world-wide. ADEC Technologies AG is one of Switzerland’s leading manufacturers of innovative traffic and parking detectors. Installers and integrators worldwide turn to ADEC when looking for reliable and proven technology for their traffic and parking management solutions.
ADEC Experience
ADEC Technologies, leveraging decades of R&D experience in road traffic detection, works at your side to ensure your traffic management system gets the most accurate traffic data in any weather condition so it can deliver to your customers the performance they demand.
Video Verification
The combination detector TDC4 utilizes video in addition to the three detection technologies microwave radar (MW), ultrasound (US) and passive infrared (PIR). It was the world’s first quadtechnology road traffic detector. This detector allows traffic management personnel to automatically get images of irregular traffic conditions – or manually at any time – via built-in camera without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
Data Collection & Transmission
Offering its growing experience in the collection & transmission of traffic data, ADEC can assist installers and integrators in applications where wire-based data transmission is not feasible or otherwise undesirable.
Our Solution: The Parking Occupancy Detector
Parking Space Management
A revolution is unfolding pushed by new technologies that allow battery-operated devices to unload their data into the Internet-of Things (IoT), enabling a range of new applications. Parking spaces will be equipped with parking occupancy detectors that, during years after their installation, report the occupancy to the Internet. Combined with their location, in-vehicle navigation systems and mobile Apps will guide drivers or self-driving vehicles to available parking spaces. Guidance, reservation and payment systems are tied together to form a coherent, end-to-end parking space management solution.
The BS2 is our all-in-one solar powered and battery operated IoT Gateway modem. It is designed to be installed and operated with the ADEC IoT Server and to supports data transmission via UDP or e-mail to 3rd party server. It powers up to three TDC1-PIR traffic detectors and forwards each vehicle’s data. (Image source: ADEC Technology)
The Parking Occupancy Detector
It all begins with the detector. The Parking Occupancy Detector (POD) developed and sold by ADEC integrates four independent sensing technologies into a small, hockey-puck size device with guaranteed battery life of seven years. The quad-technology device eliminates all calibration needs and at all times ensures true occupancy detection. The built-in LoRa-ready protocol stack guarantees compatibility and easy integration into LoRa networks once available. Installations that do not have LoRa coverage yet can easily be integrated using ADECs BS2 IoT-gateway. The solarpowered BS2 manages up to 60 PODs in a 500 m range.
Our Quad-technology detector incorporates four complementary sensing technologies: ADEC GFSK and LoRa radio to work with future LoRa access points via simple Over-the-Air (OtA) firmware upgrade (LoRa-ready). It is suitable for in-pavement and on-pavement installations with mounting adapter POD-MA and POD-SMA. (Image source: ADEC Technologies)
