DTS12 installs flush with road asphalt via a 100 mm core drill and detects vehicles up to 2.5 m above the sensor surface, distinguishing cars from trucks and empty spaces with >99% accuracy in independent field trials. LoRa transmission covers a 2-3 km radius per gateway in urban environments, supporting 1,000+ sensors from a single street-mounted gateway. Battery life of 10 years on built-in lithium cells eliminates maintenance visits over the typical parking infrastructure replacement cycle. BLE configuration mode allows sensor parameter adjustment with a smartphone app without disturbing road traffic. REST API integration with Siemens Sitraffic, ParkWhiz, and SpotHero parking management systems provides real-time multi-app data sharing for parking guidance applications.
