Congestion can be reduced by 15-30%
Special permits detection (PMR, emergency…)
Loading and unloading, limited parking spaces and commercial areas
Optimization of parking spaces in urban and private areas
Having real-time information about parking spaces increase parking revenues by up to 35%
The growing population and increasing number of vehicles in cities create high demand for parking spaces. The search for parking can lead to additional traffic, increased pollution, and driver frustration. Our IoT-enabled parking node can help manage and optimize parking space availability, reducing search time and improving traffic flow.
Shopping centers experience peaks in foot traffic, especially during weekends and sale seasons. Parking congestion can negatively affect the customer experience, leading to lost visitors and sales. With our IoT parking nodes, shopping centers can provide real-time information on parking space availability, enhancing customer satisfaction and optimizing space utilization.
Universities face challenges in managing their parking spaces due to the high turnover of students and staff throughout the day. Lack of available parking can cause delays and stress among users. By implementing our IoT-enabled parking nodes, universities can provide accurate data on parking occupancy, facilitating better planning and efficient use of available space.

Libelium Smart Parking benefits from 2 different detection systems:
- Radar & Magnetic
- Greater precision, improved detection and stability performance: >99% accuracy
The new smart parking node improves detection and stability performance thanks to a radar sensor that allows precise detection (>99%) of vehicles parked over the device
✓ Your IoT project 100% flexible
We provide base stations and a LoraWan or NB IoT Network server ready to work with FIWARE or your own Cloud.
This flexibility allows our customers to choose the technology that best fits their specific needs, ensuring a successful and efficient implementation.
With the ability to adapt to different network infrastructures, our parking nodes are a versatile and high-performance solution.
Why Libelium technology
NB IoT Communication Protocol
NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) leverages LTE network infrastructure to offer low-bandwidth IoT communication. Designed for devices requiring infrequent data transmission, NB-IoT ensures enhanced coverage indoors and in remote areas with extremely low power consumption. This makes it ideal for applications like our parking nodes, where reliability and the ability to support a large number of devices are crucial. NB-IoT stands out for its robustness and scalability, providing a secure and high-quality solution for various IoT needs.
LoRaWAN Communication Protocol
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a wireless communication technology ideal for IoT applications requiring long-distance coverage and low power consumption. Its star architecture allows nodes to communicate directly with gateways, which send data to a central server. With a range of up to 15 km in rural areas and the capacity to handle thousands of devices, LoRaWAN is perfect for solutions like our parking nodes. The ease of implementation and low operational cost are additional benefits that make LoRaWAN a robust and efficient option for deploying IoT solutions.

Why Libelium technology
Radar detection systems
A more reliable and effective solution for smart parking systems
Radar technology offers improved performance compared to magnetic or infrared detection devices.
They are not vulnerable to magnetic interference and do not give false positives for vehicles parked in double rows.
1.
High Precision
Radar provides exceptional detection precision of 99.6%, proven in thousands of tests.
2.
Error Reduction
Significantly minimizes false positives and negatives common with magnetic sensors.
3.
Stability Against Interferences
Unlike magnetic sensors, radar is unaffected by nearby electrical fields, such as trams or large metal masses.
4.
Less Environmental Sensitivity
Radar performance is not compromised by temperature changes, enhancing reliability.
5.
Vehicle Position Independence
Accurately detects vehicles regardless of their positioning relative to the sensor.
6.
Reduced Maintenance
Eliminates the need for frequent resets required by magnetic sensors due to error states.
7.
Cost-Effectiveness
Although initially more expensive, radar provides considerable added value due to its high performance and low maintenance needs
Main Features
Libelium Smart Parking
The device is fully certified according to CE, FCC, UKCA, IP68 (EN 60529) and IK10 (EN 50102).
The performance is more consistent in any condition of luminosity, more stable in case of long-stay parking, and is not affected by the proximity of traffic movements such as buses or heavy trucks.
The device is protected inside a small and extremely tough enclosure.Easily reset by passing the magnet over the node. Wide range of temperature: -20ºC to 65ºC.
The maintenance is much easier as the devices are not affected by dirt, dust, rain or oil spills.
- On surface
- Semi-underground
When the device notices a change in the parking lot status, it sends the data to the cloud through the LoRaWAN network.
- Available for Europe, US, Latam, Australia and Asia Pacific.
- Nodes provisioning in the LoRaWAN network server at any one time including default time settings and unique LoRaWAN identifiers and keys.
- Configuration via Smart Devices App (Java desktop application).
