Keytop Parking Guidance System (PGS)

As one of the best parking guidance system suppliers, Xiamen Keytop has
the most successful cases which are from different parts of the world
than other China suppliers.
The main function our parking guidance system (PGS) has is that helps
the driver find free parking space on different layers and sectors quickly.
Using LED display and LED indicator to show the real‐time parking
information (free/occupied parking space) to the vehicle owners.
Moreover, the owners or operators can monitor the real time parking
information as well as collect and analyze statistic data about utilization
of each car park space.
What are the benefits of Parking Guidance System?
PGS have been proven to cut the cutomer's time‐to‐park in half and
result in a 3‐5% rise in visits. Simply put, the easier it is for customers to
visit, the more customers will want to return again and again.
 Travellers: Reduced time looking for parking, and reduced frustration.
 Venue Operators: Increase in patronage, and customer satisfaction.
 Parking Operators: Increased space occupancy, and increased
revenue.
 Environmental: Reduced air pollution, reduced congestion, reduced
illegal parking.
PGS Key Components:
●CCU: Central Control System
●ZCU: Zone Control System
●UD: Ultrasonic Detector
●LED Indicator: Red/Green Led Indicator
●LED screen: Outdoor/Indoor LED screen

PGS wiring diagram

How PGS Works:

Firstly, UD takes use of ultrasonic wave to detect the car space to see if it
is occupied by vehicles and transfer relative command to LED Indicator
which will turn from green to RED when occupied, or it will keep GREEN;
meanwhile, the UD transmit its status message to ZCU immediately, and
ZCU will collect and forward the information to CCU; CCU processes
these data and sends the relevant command to ZCU and LED panel.

1. CCU

1) Specification:
work temperature： ‐20～＋80℃
rate voltage： AC 110~220V
frequency： 50~60HZ
communication: 2 RS‐232 serial port（RS‐232‐NODE RS‐232‐PC）
baud： RS‐232‐NODE：9600bps；RS‐232‐PC：57600bps
distance： ≤1000m

2) Main function:
①. CCU main function is to inquire about the relevant ZCU data via
RS232‐NODE by turns and process these data; then send these processed
data to PC or other relevant equipments; besides it updates the LED
display’s data via RS232‐NODE.
②. One CCU can support 60 ZCU in max..
2. ZCU
1）Specification:
Size: 30*24.5*6(CM)
Work temperature:‐20+80℃
Rate Voltage: DC 24V
Rate current: 70mA
Communication: RS‐485 serial port (sensor/sensor/CCU)
Baud: RS‐485‐B: 4800bps, RS‐485‐C: 9600bps
Distance:≦1000M

2）Main function:
①. It is to inquire about the relevant sensors’ status via RS485‐B by
turns, and forward the data to CCU by RS485‐C.Meanwhile, the ZCU
forwards the command of CCU to LED screen via RS485‐B.
②. The RS485‐B data bus can support 60 UD in max., whose addresses
must not be set repeatedly.
3. UD
1) Specification:

Size： dia. 100*23(mm)

Weight： 113g
Principle： Ultrasonic
Work temperature： ‐20～＋80℃
Current rating： 13mA+17mA(LED indicator)
Voltage rating： DC 24V
Detecting arrange 0.1～3.5m
Max error： 0.1m
Detecting area (3.5m): 0.4sq.m
Communication： RS‐485
baud velocity： 4800bps, N,8,1
Available distance： ≤1000m

2) Main Functions:

①. UD(ultrasonic detector) as one of the main part of parking guidance

system makes use of ultrasonic detecting the parking space to get
message and transfer to ZCU or other equipments by RS485.
②. One parking space needs one UD which is installed in the middle of
the car park space.
4. LED indicator

VACANT OCCUPIED
1）Main Functions and Features:
①. Install LED indicator in the front of car park space for the
convenience of driver’s observation.
②. Show the parking information to the driver by its color, it will turn
from green to red when it occupied, or it will keep green
③. One park space needs one LED indicator.
5. LED screen
1)LED indoor screen
2) Outdoor LED Screen

1）Specification:

work temperature： ‐20～＋80℃

rate voltage： AC 110～220V
frequency： 50~60HZ
communication： RS‐485
baud： 4800bps
distance： ≤1000m

2）Main Functions and Features:

Three digits are to show the available lots number and the arrow is to
show the direction.
The led indoor screen will be installed at the crossings of car park.
The outdoor led screen will be installed at the entrance of car park or
other outside place.

Remark: The red one means occupied, the green one means vacant.
 Remark: The left is led screen list and the right is the detector list.

1）. Flow Statistic means total car’s quantity in your appointed time
Eg: From 12:00 to 13:00, there are THREE cars driving into the Car Park in
this hour, so it means Flow Statistic=3
2）. Use Ratio = [sum (each space’s use time)]/ (appointed time*total
space in the Car Park)

Eg: there are 5 spaces in the Car Park, today the parking spaces are only
used between12:00‐13:00
Space1 used time: 0.5 hour,
Space2 used time: 0 hour
Space3 used time: 0.6 hour,
Space4 used time: 1 hour,
Space5 used time: 0 hour
So the Use Ratio between
12:00‐13:00=(0.5+0+0.6+1+0)/(1hour*5spaces)=2.1/5=42%
And today’s Use Ratio= (0.5+0+0.6+1+0)/(24*5spaces)=1.75%

Green considered as used (occupied), Red means not used (vacant)

Eg: suppose the Car Park information between12:00‐13:00 is as below:
Time vacant space occupied space Total space
12:01 4 1 5
12:30 3 2 5
12:33 2 3 5
12:45 5 0 5
So the Use Ratio of car park between 12:00‐13:00= (1+2+3+0)/ (5+5+5+5)
=30%
