Seamless Intelligent Parking System (SIPS)

在一个拥挤的城市里，司机平均要花20多分钟才能找到一个停车位并付款。寻找停车位的司机占市中心交通量的30%，这是造成交通拥堵的主要原因。到目前为止，大多数加拿大城市的司机很少或根本没有关于空置停车位的信息。ChipTag®开发了ETR/EzPass停车系统，允许用户根据入口和出口时间自动支付室内门控停车场的停车费。NSERC Engage基金将启动一项新的合作，使我们能够开发一个无缝智能停车系统（SIPS），该系统将增强ETR/EzPass，以提供：i）室外使用; ii）全面的无缝停车支付; iii）全面的访问控制; iv）自动授权车辆检测;以及，v）实时停车可用性，并为司机定价。

A driver can spend over 20 minutes on average to find and pay for a parking spot in a crowded city. Drivers looking for parking account for 30% of downtown traffic, contributing significantly to congestion. To date, drivers in the majority of Canadian cities have little or no information about vacant parking spots. ChipTag® has developed the ETR/EzPass system for parking, allowing users to pay automatically for parking in indoor gated lots based on entrance and exit times. The NSERC Engage funding will initiate a new collaboration that will enable us to develop a Seamless Intelligent Parking System (SIPS) that will enhance ETR/EzPass to provide: i) outdoor use; ii) comprehensive seamless parking payment; iii) comprehensive access control; iv) automatic authorized vehicle detection; and, v) real-time parking availability with pricing for drivers.
