Electric Vehicle Detection in Charging Station

With the rise of shared electric car services in European cities, efficient recharging stations must be available to users.

To prevent non-permitted vehicles from parking at these stations, a system is required to identify unauthorized vehicles and alert officers to their presence. Because the charging station is located in public areas, the system must not be vulnerable to vandalism. Banner Engineering’s R-Gage radar sensor is the ideal solution for the electric vehicle detection at recharge stations.

YOUR BENEFITS

  • Reliable detection of vehicles not plugged into charging station.
  • Immune to adverse weather conditions.
  • Embedded operation prevents vandalism.

 

  • Accurate Electric Vehicle Detection with Banner's R-Gage Radar Sensor

When cars park at a charging station, Banner’s R-Gage immediately detects the vehicle’s presence. If the car is not plugged into the charge station, a signal is sent to a central location, alerting authorities to remove the vehicle if necessary.

The R-Gage can be embedded in the charging station, preventing vandalism. The R-Gage uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to ensure reliable detection of moving or stationary vehicles. Unlike photoelectric or ultrasonic sensors, it is not affected by conditions such as wind, rain, fog, light, humidity and air temperature. This results in accurate detection in outdoor environments. The sensor also detects objects up to a specified distance, ignoring objects beyond the set point. With simple DIP switches, the R-Gage provides easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output. The sensor operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunication band no special license required
