Nwave sensors deployed in Harrogate
Harrogate Smart Parking Case Study
In Harrogate, Nwave’s solutions partner AppyParking worked with two local authorities, Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) and North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC), with a shared goal to improve the parking experiences for local residents, businesses and visitors.
Our smart parking technology was selected to make parking easier and less stressful for Harrogate drivers as well as more efficient for local authorities. Gone are the days when city centre visitors had to circle around until they find a free space. Instead, a special app enables them to drive to the nearest available spot without wasting time and fuel.
Our smart parking solution provides access to real-time availability information before drivers even set off on their journey. The Secure Driver Identification(SDI) technology provides a fast and safe way of authenticating the motorists as they park and enables one-click payments for their stays. The parking session ends automatically when the vehicle drives away.

Harrogate Borough Council has procured an innovative, new smart parking solution in the town centre of Harrogate. The solution has been provided by AppyParking and includes the deployment of 2,156 of Nwave parking sensors. The system incorporates both on and off-street parking spaces to provide the Council with a holistic approach for improving the management of parking and traffic flow. The Nwave sensors are surface mounted using a simple installation process. The full system was installed in 7 days with minimal disruption. The sensor Low Power Wide Area Network delivers coverage across the entire town with just one small base station, and a second provided redundancy coverage. This greatly simplifies the implementation process while also provided a robust and easily maintained network. The sensors have proven to be resilient to heavy loads including skips and heavy vehicles. The thin design seamlessly integrates with the highway and has been well received by local residents.Susan McGarry Parking Services Manager Harrogate Borough Council
