Tele2 IoT and Drifter World, a company that uses AI to optimise the use of parking spaces and electric vehicle charging stations, are collaborating to connect drivers with spaces and charging points. Tele2 is providing a cellular IoT connectivity solution that maximises uptime and gives the company full control over its fleet of devices. Drifter’s system enables the entire parking flow to be automated and the need for parking attendants, parking discs and payment machines disappears completely. When a vehicle arrives, the system automatically detects it using smart cameras and initiates a paid session, which ends when the vehicle leaves. Sensors seamlessly capture real-time data on occupancy and traffic flows, making parking not only efficient but also intelligent.
Together with Drifter, Tele2 IoT ensures that functionality and maximum uptime of the devices are achieved. While enabling the business to have full control over its fleet of devices, where they can understand how each device communicates and what its status is. At the same time, the connection can be restarted remotely, so that it does not have to be handled on site.
Collected data on driving and parking patterns can be shared with cities to better understand traffic flows. It can also help parking companies to optimise the use of parking lots.
“It’s purposeful and fun to work on this venture together with Drifter World,” said Cyril Deschanel, the managing director of Tele2 IoT. “With this solution, you can reduce driving time in cities and get smarter traffic flows. We are happy to be part of that development.” said Cyril Deschanel, the managing director at Tele2 IoT.
Fredrik Durling, the chief executive and founder of Drifter World, added: “Tele2 IoT’s solutions give us fantastic coverage, reach and speed. They help us enable smarter urban experiences, improve traffic and create a more efficient and sustainable urban ecosystem.”
