AMD has announced a collaboration with Sun Singapore Systems Pte. Ltd. to implement an advanced AI-based parking system. This system leverages AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices to improve functionalities like license plate recognition, parking vacancy detection, lane jam monitoring, and more.
The new system utilizes PlanetSpark’s EdgeAI Box X7, powered by AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs. This FPGA-based solution offers low latency, energy efficiency, and real-time AI processing at the network’s edge. Additionally, Aupera Technologies contributed to the development of FPGA firmware and AI vision solutions for accurate license plate recognition.
Sun Singapore emphasizes the advantages of the durability, low latency, and flexibility of the AMD FPGA-based solution. They believe this technology will allow them to introduce new features and improve services for their customers in the future.
PlanetSpark, the provider of the EdgeAI Box X7, highlights their commitment to sustainable innovation with energy-efficient solutions. Their collaboration with AMD is seen as a significant advancement in the smart parking industry.
Chetan Khona, from AMD, emphasizes the broader potential of this technology. The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC’s capabilities for sensor fusion applications allow customers to leverage AI for process improvements in various fields beyond smart parking, potentially impacting smart cities and robotics.
The current electronic parking systems in Singapore are largely outdated and lack advanced AI capabilities. This new solution aims to modernize the infrastructure with features like 99% license plate reading accuracy, real-time parking availability, and improved violation enforcement. These advancements provide comprehensive smart parking solutions and enhance data reporting capabilities for car park operators.
