Key features

Everything enforcement teams need. Nothing they don't.

A complete package solution that removes the need to deal with multiple vendors. We handle the hardware, the network, the alerts and the dashboard.

Low cost, high return

A low-cost solution designed to maximise the use of limited enforcement resources. More infringements detected and dealt with means a stronger deterrent effect.

No internet or Wi-Fi needed

Our sensors connect independently - no Wi-Fi required - meaning they work anywhere in the UK, from busy high streets to remote residential streets.

No mains power required

Self-powered sensors with a compact, durable design for discreet placement in roadways. Exceptionally straightforward to install without infrastructure works or utility connections.

Custom alerts

Custom email or SMS alerts sent to the right person for a quick response. Enforcement officers can adjust patrols in real time as notifications arrive.

Tailored dashboard

A tailored online dashboard to visualise data and important insights. See exactly where violations are occurring, how often, and respond with confidence.

How it works

From sensor to enforcement in seconds.

1

Sense

Compact magnetic sensors are embedded discretely in roadways. They detect vehicle presence in real time without any cameras, identifying occupancy of each monitored bay.

HardwareIn-ground sensor
2

Transmit

Data is sent wirelessly over our network - no Wi-Fi, no mobile data plan needed. Readings reach our platform within seconds of a vehicle arriving or leaving.

ConnectivityNo Wi-Fi required
3

Analyse

Our platform cross-references sensor data with permit records, time limits and vehicle tags. It identifies violations, overstays and unlicensed vehicles automatically.

IntelligenceAutomated analysis
4

Alert & Act

Custom SMS or email alerts are sent to the right enforcement officer with precise location and duration data. Officers respond only where they're needed - not on patrol guesswork.

ActionReal-time alerts
What you can achieve

Smarter enforcement. Better communities.

Civil enforcement officers and parking teams can do more with less when they have real-time intelligence. Here's what our solution enables.

Prioritise limited enforcement resources

Civil enforcement officers can adjust their patrols as needed with real-time notifications of parking infringements. More violations can be dealt with, further discouraging contraventions.

Detect unauthorised use of resident bays

Combining smart parking sensors with tags in residents' vehicles provides enforcement officers with insights to assess possible residential parking infringements - protecting residents' access to their own bays.

Improve air quality by reducing search time

Through our partnership with RingGo, residents can identify available spaces and head straight there - saving fuel and emissions. Less circling means cleaner air for everyone.

Quickly identify illegally parked vehicles

Enforcement officers can receive custom text or email alerts when vehicles have overstayed limits or are parked in unauthorised zones, allowing them to respond and issue tickets faster.

Detect unlicensed taxi driver operation & manage taxi ranks

By detecting the number of taxis at a rank, available ranks can be easily identified. Making this data available via apps or town centre signage provides a better experience for drivers and passengers. Sensors can also help authorities identify unauthorised vehicles or unlicensed operators.

Improve access to high street parking

If residents can find available spaces in their local high street via the RingGo app, they could be more inclined to shop locally - improving access and aiding regional economic growth.

What councils say

Trusted by local authorities across the UK.

"We are excited to be working with IoT Solutions Group to trial these sensors as they will provide the Council with information on when and how often disabled parking bays are occupied... We hope that as a result of this trial our teams will be able to understand the true usage of the spaces. We will also be engaging with residents and those who use the spaces ahead of future decisions, as their voices and experiences are important to us."

Councillor Manuel Abellan, Chair of the Environment & Sustainable Transport Committee - Sutton Council

"Smart technologies are playing an ever more central role in the delivery of Council services and I'm really excited that Richmond will be at the forefront of local authorities using better data to make decisions... The trial results will help us to monitor local parking habits and contribute meaningful data on which future decisions of the Council can be based."

Cllr Alexander Ehmann, Chair of the Transport and Air Quality Committee - Richmond Council

Case study
