    What Is the Standard Sensor Family?

    The Fleximodo Standard family is the core outdoor parking sensor line within the broader IoT parking sensor portfolio.

    Real-Time Parking Data

    It is designed for operators who need reliable space-level vehicle detection in real outdoor parking environments, from curbside streets and municipal zones to retail car parks, corporate campuses, and mixed-use properties.

    Built for Outdoor Parking Operations

    Outdoor parking environments place higher demands on reliability, weather resistance, installation planning, and long-term maintenance. The Standard family is positioned for these conditions through rugged construction, space-level detection logic, and connectivity options that support both pilot deployments and larger parking programs.

    The sensor family is suitable for parking operators who need to balance performance, rollout speed, and long-term scalability rather than solving only for basic occupancy visibility.

    How Standard Sensors Work

    Reliable Parking Detection in Real Time

    Fleximodo Standard sensors detect the presence or absence of a vehicle using a combination of magnetic sensing and nano-radar. This sensing approach is designed to improve reliability in outdoor settings where local interference, changing conditions, and repeated occupancy transitions can reduce the quality of simpler detection methods.

    Parking Software

    Once a parking event is detected, the sensor sends occupancy data through LoRaWAN or NB-IoT connectivity, depending on the selected configuration. The data can then flow into the Fleximodo backend, CityPortal, signage, analytics, APIs, and other operational systems used by the parking operator.

    Part of the Full Fleximodo Ecosystem

    Standard sensors are part of a larger parking system rather than isolated hardware. They can support parking guidance, analytics, enforcement logic, permit-based parking, dashboards, backend monitoring, and broader parking software workflows through the Fleximodo ecosystem.

    Why Choose the Standard Family

    • Real-Time Occupancy for Outdoor Sites

      The Standard family is designed to make individual parking spaces measurable in real time, creating the occupancy layer required for parking guidance, enforcement support, and utilization analysis.

    • Flexible Deployment Logic

      Because the family includes both in-ground and on-surface formats, operators can choose the installation style that best matches the physical environment, maintenance preferences, and rollout constraints of the site.

    • Connectivity for Different Project Types

      Support for LoRaWAN and NB-IoT helps the Standard family fit projects with different infrastructure assumptions, coverage realities, and scaling requirements.

    • Built for Long-Term Operation

      The family is designed for demanding conditions with IP68 protection, impact resistance, remote monitoring, OTA control, and resilience to connectivity outages.

    Standard Sensor Models

    The Standard family currently includes two main deployment variants: Standard In-ground 2.0 and Standard On-surface 2.0.

    Standard In-Ground 2.0

    Standard In-ground 2.0 is the lower-profile option for outdoor projects that need rugged space-level detection with a cleaner physical footprint. It is especially suitable for municipal and public-space deployments where a more integrated surface finish is preferred.

    Standard On-Surface 2.0

    Standard On-surface 2.0 is the more accessible option for retrofit-friendly outdoor projects where simpler installation and easier deployment flexibility are priorities. It helps operators roll out occupancy detection without committing to the same installation method as a buried sensor.

    Which Should You Choose?

    Choose an in-ground parking sensor when the project needs a cleaner surface profile, strong physical durability, and a deployment approach suited to streets, public zones, or other exposed outdoor environments. Choose an on-surface parking sensor when faster installation, easier retrofit planning, or lower civil-work complexity is a stronger priority.

    For many parking operators, the choice is not about which model is universally better, but which installation logic best matches the site, maintenance model, and rollout plan.

    Connectivity: NB-IoT & LoRaWAN

    The Standard family is the most flexible part of the current Fleximodo sensor portfolio from a connectivity perspective.

    It supports LoRaWAN and NB-IoT connectivity, giving operators more choice in how sensor data is transmitted and how projects are aligned with local network availability and deployment strategy.

    This makes the Standard family particularly relevant for outdoor projects that need scalable coverage, long-term performance, and compatibility with different infrastructure conditions across regions.

    Detection Accuracy and Reliability

    The Standard family is built around a combined sensing approach using 3-axis magnetic field detection and nano-radar.

    This is designed to improve reliability in outdoor conditions where signal noise, environmental change, and repeated parking events can make occupancy detection more difficult.

    Current product materials position the Standard sensor line at 99.96% accuracy and emphasize resistance to connectivity outages, detection confidence, remote diagnostics, and OTA control for long-term operational quality.
