In der Schweiz sind fast 4.8 Millionen Autos immatrikuliert. Und diese riesige Menge an Fahrzeugen bewegt sich Tag für Tag durch die Strassen des Landes. Für viele Institutionen ist es wichtig, möglichst genau zu wissen, wie viele Autos wo unterwegs sind. Dafür werden regelmässig Verkehrszählungen durchgeführt. 

Parkplätze sind in den Städten der Welt zu einem raren Gut geworden. Immer mehr Autos drängen durch die Strassen und suchen nach einem Abstellplatz. Das ist aus mehreren Gründen ein grosses Problem. Daher haben wir von der LTS AG mit TAPS eine praktische Lösung entwickelt. Damit lässt sich Smart Parking leicht und innovativ umsetzen.

In den meisten Städten der Welt herrschen dramatische Verkehrsverhältnisse. Die Schuld an Staus und zähfliessendem Verkehr trägt nicht selten der ausgeprägte Parksuchverkehr.

Every driver hates being stuck in a traffic jam. You lose a lot of time waiting for your journey to continue, time that could be put to good use. According to a study, drivers need about a third more time to cross Zurich due to traffic jams than when traffic is calm. The figures are similar in other cities.

In Aegerten (BE) we were allowed to install ground sensors for Lidl Switzerland for traffic counting of the parking area. The data is sent to the municipality of Aegerten and is used for traffic monitoring.

Modern technology simplifies life in many areas. This also includes road traffic. Due to the increasing number of vehicles on the road, traffic jams often occur, especially in cities. Technology can be used to ensure that vehicles are guided in a targeted manner. This relieves the roads and leads to smoother traffic.

Parking spaces are a rare commodity in cities. While the number of registered vehicles continues to rise, the number of parking spaces remains largely constant. In order to cope with this problem, contemporary measures must be taken. First and foremost, this includes intelligent parking space monitoring.

In Winterthur, we had the opportunity to upgrade the analog parking guidance system (PLS) to the digital TAPS PLS and equip it with new displays. The city of Winterthur now has one of the most modern PLS communication systems in Switzerland. We would like to thank the city of Winterthur for their trust.

In collaboration with Energie Wasser Bern (ewb) and MOVE, a leading company in the field of electric mobility, we have introduced a technological innovation that has the potential to revolutionize the way parking spaces and charging stations are used.

Many motorists are regularly in search of a parking space for their vehicle. This usually happens near the workplace or in front of one's own home. Tourists who want to go for a walk in the city or visit a tourist attraction also have to look for a parking space beforehand. However, this causes problems on several levels.

This Smart Suisse is a platform where leading technology providers, urban planners and government agencies came together to present innovative technologies for the smart cities of tomorrow.

Especially in urban areas, where the demand for parking spaces is very high, parking space is scarce. Traffic searching for parking spaces is correspondingly high, which is enormously detrimental to the environment and noise protection. Drivers also suffer from having to search for a suitable parking space for a long time. Effective parking management is needed.

As part of a cooperation with IDEX Services, we were allowed to carry out a first project for single parking space monitoring of public parking lots in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

The popular cultural centre Viimsi Artium in Estonia can count on regulated traffic in the bus parking areas in future thanks to the TAPS system.

The search for parking spaces is often stressful. Numerous drivers make one round after another until they finally find what they are looking for. This not only puts a strain on urban traffic, but also on the nerves of its participants and, last but not least, on the environment. Smart Parking, as implemented by LTS AG, is the solution; ceiling sensors are an important element of the technology.

Parking guidance systems are an important part of the transport infrastructure in many cities. They help to reduce parking pressure and make parking easier for citizens. LTS AG supports such systems and optimises existing installations.

Car traffic in Europe's big cities is one of the major construction sites of the future. The increasing density of housing in cities is leading to congestion on roads and parking systems in many places. The intelligent digitalisation of traffic routing is, along with many other measures, a sensible response to this. Experts also speak of smart traffic. But what is that actually?

The search for a free parking space is not infrequently exhausting for motorists. This also applies to multi-storey car parks. In a confined space, numerous vehicles turn their circles and there is always the danger of a collision. If car parks are equipped with sensors, then the search for a parking space is made much easier.

More and more car washes are striving to digitalise their processes in the management of the facilities. The ceiling sensors from LTS AG provide a remedy here, which Kenny's Waschstrasse was also able to recognise for itself. The operators have been using the TAPS system for their washing and hoover boxes at their location in Wettingen (AG) since October 2022.

Traffic counts for smooth traffic flow, for new road construction and rehabilitation, and for avoiding congestion and accidents.

LTS AG was able to realize another traffic project together with our partner, VR AG. In the city of Horgen, TAPS sensors were installed on the bridge of the Fährestrasse. The installation serves the signaling for the traffic light system.

With the software development for traffic management TAPS from LTS AG, stationary and flowing road traffic can be optimally managed.

In a test at a busy crossroads in Bülach, LTS AG compared the conventional induction loops with the TAPS sensors. The result was very pleasing.

LTS AG was in Dubai during calendar week 41. Besides exhibiting at GITEX GLOBAL, interesting contacts were made, partnerships were established and new projects were targeted.

Finding free parking spaces is a real challenge for many drivers in cities. With our TAPS system, we offer a clever solution.  

Exciting insights from the interview with Switzerland Global Enterprise and our CTO Emanuell Tomes.

In the near future, e-mobility will become even more important in Switzerland than it already is. However, the infrastructure must follow suit.

Finding a parking space in many cities takes a lot of time. LTS AG simplifies the search for a parking space - thanks to TAPS.

Parking software is used to evaluate the use of parking spaces and thus intelligently direct search traffic to free parking spaces.

Intelligent parking saves gasoline and protects the environment as well as the nerves of numerous motorists. LTS has the optimal solution in the form of TAPS.

The parking management software of LTS AG enables optimal parking management. It ensures dynamic traffic and pricing management.

The TAPS software from LTS AG is used to dynamically monitor the parking lots of Bühler AG in Uzwil (CH).

Parking Management Technology offers innovative solutions to manage increased traffic on the roads and parking lots.

Hectronic, with its headquarters in Bonndorf/Schwarzwald DE, is a major global player in the fields of parking management and petrol station management and offers a complete range of products and services. After an initial pilot with the old generation of sensors, LTS AG has now installed the latest sensor technology on the premises of Hectronic GmbH.

Parkonic is the leader in parking management in the UAE. As many systems in this region do not work as expected due to the heat, LTS is testing the durability of its TAPS system as part of a pilot project.

Parking spaces should be as attractive as possible to increase the number of users. TAPS offers some possibilities for this.

A long search for a parking space is part of everyday life for many people. The TAPS sensors from LTS AG help to find a parking space faster.

Ground sensors in the parking lot detect whether a parking space is free or occupied. This enables intelligent control of search traffic.

Parking sensors ensure that vehicles are guided to free parking spaces. Long searches are thus unnecessary, and money is also saved.

Parking sensors are an essential part of the TAPS traffic and parking management system. But how exactly do they work?

Those who choose parking systems with TAPS sensors speed up the search for parking spaces, reduce congestion and can better monitor compliance with rules and regulations.
