Featured on TF1: Our Edge AI Sensors are Transforming Urban Parking Across France

We are thrilled to share that our smart parking detection technology was recently featured in a report by TF1, one of France’s leading national television channels. The segment highlights how our AI-powered sensors are solving one of the most frustrating aspects of city life: finding a parking spot.

Proven Technology, Deployed Globally

This isn't just a pilot project or a local experiment. Our hardware has reached a massive scale:

• Across France: Our sensors are now operational in every single region of France, from the busiest Parisian streets to smaller municipalities.

• International Presence: Beyond France, our technology is already deployed in multiple countries, proving its reliability across different urban environments and international regulations.

How Our Sensor Technology Works

As shown in the TF1 report, our units are installed high up on existing street lamps. This elevated positioning offers several key advantages that set our hardware apart:

• Wide-Area Coverage: A single sensor can monitor multiple parking bays simultaneously, making it a highly efficient solution for city-wide deployment.

• Edge AI Processing: Our sensors aren't just "cameras." They feature onboard artificial intelligence that processes images locally to determine parking availability in real-time.

• Privacy by Design: We prioritize citizen privacy. The system is engineered to detect vehicle occupancy without storing or transmitting personal data like faces or license plate numbers.

• All-Weather Reliability: Whether it's heavy rain or night-time conditions, our sensors provide consistent, accurate data 24/7.

  
  

Real Results: From 10 Minutes to 1 Minute

The TF1 report featured Nadia, a local driver in Beauvais, who demonstrated the impact of the technology. Before our sensors were active, she spent an average of 10 minutes searching for a spot. Now, she finds one in under a minute.

By reducing the time spent idling and circling the block, our technology does more than just save time—it reduces CO2 emissions and decreases overall traffic congestion.

A Scalable Solution for Modern Cities

Unlike traditional ground sensors that require expensive roadwork and constant maintenance, our overhead sensors are:

1. Non-intrusive: They use existing infrastructure (street lights), so there’s no need to dig up the streets.

2. Intelligent: They can distinguish between different types of parking regulations, such as paid zones, free periods, and delivery-only bays.

   
   

As the TF1 report concludes, the demand for this technology is growing. We are committed to continuing our rollout across France and beyond, ensuring that every driver can find a spot with ease.
