Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843ISK

Hello Team TI,

Greetings of the day !

We are leading manufacturer of process automation equipment in India. We provide Hotel Automation Solutions.

We are working on smart parking solution in which we have to detect presence of vehicle.

As per our study we have to have multiple types of sensors due to various parking types. We are looking for mmWave Radar and Ultrasonic sensor.

As devices are battery operated we wish to have low power sensor and with the capability of sleep mode or Idle mode to conserve energy.

Please suggest suitable low cost sensor for smart parking application.

Best Regards,

Hello.

I would recommend you look at the parking garage sensor demo, which uses the IWR6843ISK to detect parked or stationary cars in parking spaces. To tune it for low power, you can take a look a the low power demo in the fundamental folder within the labs folder in the industrial toolbox. I have linked both below.

Hope this helps,

Santosh

Hello.

We are very thankful for supporting us.

From our point of view IWR6843ISK is a high end parking sensor. As all areas are not equal in size it requires to configure / calibrate each sensor according to it's area.

In our case we are planning to fix device on Road surface or bury inside the road at the center of parking lot. In this method we can keep same configuration for all devices so that non technical person can also install the device easily.

Also our SMD setup is capable of SOIC, SOC packages.

So we are looking for simple solution with one sensor for one vehicle.

Kindly suggest sensor suitable for above requirement.
