Availability, time lost searching, stress... Managing parking spaces can sometimes be challenging for users in busy urban areas.
Real-time inventory of available spaces and light-guidance for underground parking
Driving around in circles to find a free spot means lost time, stress, and unnecessary pollution. In operating parking lots, installing a wired guidance system requires heavy, costly work that is often impossible to carry out without closing the facility. GalaP.SYS® removes these constraints thanks to a 100% wireless architecture based on two Ineo-Sense components:
REP-Report-LED®: a standalone multicolor light indicator installed above each space.
Presence sensor (ACS-Switch-PIR® or ACS-Switch-TOF®) placed on the ceiling or floor to instantly detect the arrival of a vehicle.
Challenges of underground parking
Limited visibility: In narrow lanes, drivers can only see the free space at the very last moment.
Complex wiring work: Cable ducts to drill, false ceilings to dismantle, operational interruptions.
Energy costs and CSR: Constant lighting and power-hungry wired systems increase electricity bills.
The GalaP.SYS®answer
Immediate detection The infrared (PIR) or distance (TOF) sensor confirms the presence of a vehicle.
Clear signaling REP-Report-LED® changes from green to red (or any color of your choice) to indicate availability; the user sees the free space as soon as they enter the aisle.
Long-range communication LoRaWAN / Clover-Net radio modules transmit the status of each space without a single cable, even across multiple levels.
Occupancy dashboards The manager receives real-time data on occupancy rates, average parking duration, and can identify “long-term parked cars.”
Quick and scalable installation Mounted with screws or adhesive, commissioned via smartphone; adding or moving a sensor is done without closing the parking lot.
Key Advantages
Energy savings: 20 to 30% less consumption than a wired equivalent thanks to battery autonomy and low radio power.
Durability: Robust enclosures, operation from -20°C to +60°C, with several years of autonomy.
Customizable lighting scenarios: green/red, blue for disabled access (PMR), orange for electric charging, purple for reservation, and more.
Interoperability: REST API to feed dynamic signs, mobile apps, or existing ticketing systems.
Minimal maintenance: no ground loops, no cables to check; remote diagnostics and OTA updates.
Benefits for operators & users
Improved turnover By finding a spot on the first try, drivers reduce their search time by 30 to 50%.
Optimized revenue Better-distributed occupancy rates increase revenue without expanding the facility.
Premium user experience Less stress, modern and eco-friendly image.
Reduced environmental impact Less CO₂ from cars circling, lower electricity consumption.
Typical use cases
Underground parking lots in shopping centers or office buildings.
Dedicated two-wheel zones: “bikes/motorcycles” mode activated on the same infrastructure.
Urban delivery areas : red indicator when a spot is occupied, green as soon as it’s freed.
Park-and-ride (P+R) lots near public transport, with counting for passenger information.
