The technology currently embedded in most electronic parking systems in Singapore is over 20 years old. The legacy infrastructure lacks more system capabilities and AI inference. This is where AI-generated data has emerged as an alternative to significantly enhance the system, allowing car park operators to provide advanced capabilities.

AMD today announced that it is providing a new AI-based smart parking solution powered by the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC to Sun Singapore Systems, Singapore’s largest smart parking solution provider.

AI-based smart parking solutions improve the accuracy of vehicle license plate recognition and support the implementation of functions such as △parking space vacancy detection △lane congestion △accident detection △parking violation crackdown.

Singapore’s new AI-based smart parking system uses PlanetSpark’s EdgeAI Box X7, powered by an FPGA-based AMD Zynq UltraScale MPSoC. Aupera Technologies helped design and develop FPGA firmware and AI vision solutions for license plate reading.

“With a focus on ruggedness, low latency, and flexibility, AMD FPGA-based Edge AI solutions have a proven ability to support complex computations on large amounts of data,” said Eddie Ng, Senior Sales Manager, Systems Singapore. “The adaptability of our new Edge AI solutions will enable us to deliver new applications that enhance parking system capabilities and services for our customers.”

“This is just one example of the powerful performance of the AMD Zynq UltraScale MPSoC that supports access to sensor fusion applications,” said Chetan Kona, AMD senior director. “By processing data from diverse inputs, customers can leverage AI to improve processes in a range of applications, including smart cities, manufacturing, and robotics.”
