Electric Vehicle Detection

The QT50R radar sensor detects unauthorized vehicles which obstruct access to EV charging stations

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.

Your Benefits

Flexible adaption to on-site conditions thanks to modifiable detection distances and cutoff points
Immune to adverse weather conditions
Embedded operation prevents vandalism

High-precision detection even in harsh outdoor environments

Embedding the R-Gage shields the sensor from criminal damage

Banner’s R-Gage radar sensor offers an ideal solution for the electric vehicle detection at recharge stations. When cars park at a charging station, Banner’s R-Gage radar sensor 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.
