The Quick Stats
eleven-x’s Vehicle Counting Solution delivers highly accurate real-time vehicle counts for garages and surface lots. Designed for parking assets where entry and exit lanes are clearly defined, the vehicle counter provides a practical solution that delivers accurate zonal occupancy visibility.
Up to 98.4% accuracy
1-second vehicle separation
No power required at entry/exit lanes
Long-life batteries + easy maintenance
Integrates with eXactpark™
What is Vehicle Counting for parking facilities?
Vehicle Counting is a method of accurately tracking of vehicle entry, exit, and occupancy levels across multi-level garages and surface lots in real-time. It provides overall facility usage and traffic volume insights without monitoring individual stalls.
Solution Overview
eleven-x’s Vehicle Counting solution uses purpose-built SCS-X wireless sensors installed in entry and exit points, or on levels in a garage. It delivers high accuracy, supports one-second vehicle separation detection and includes smart recalibration options designed to reduce count drift over time. Because sensors operate on long-life batteries, the system does not require access to power near entry or exit points, simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure needs.
For increased accuracy and insights, the SCS-X counting sensors can be combined with our SPS-X stall monitoring sensors for a comprehensive occupancy monitoring solution.
Easily integrates with eXactpark and other technologies to work alongside other use cases such as parking guidance, compliance and enforcement.
Why Vehicle Counting
Vehicle Counting is ideal for parking garages and surface lots where teams need to understand overall vehicle volumes, entry-exit activity and level counts in terms of facility usage.
Use cases:
- Monitor real-time facility usage and traffic flow
- Validate peak demand and operational planning
- Support signage, guidance, and occupancy reporting at the facility or level
- Utilize vehicle counting sensors with individual stall monitoring ones for more complete insights and accuracy
How Vehicle Counting Works
eleven-x’s Vehicle Counting Solution uses SCS-X wireless sensors installed in separated inbound and outbound lanes at entry and exit points. Sensors can be embedded or surface-mounted depending on site conditions. As vehicles pass through each lane, the system detects and counts entries and exits in real time.

Vehicle Counting FAQ
Does the system require frequent recalibration?
No. eleven-x offers automated or manual recalibration options designed to mitigate count drift and reduce ongoing maintenance compared to traditional reset approaches.
How does the system handle tailgating or closely spaced vehicles?
It supports one-second vehicle separation (approximately one metre), enabling accurate Car Counting during tailgating, hovering, or higher-speed entry and exit conditions.
How accurate is the Vehicle Counting Solution?
Up to 98.4% counting accuracy. It is designed to maintain accuracy in free-flow traffic, jam flow, and parking scenarios, including closely spaced vehicles or brief stops over the sensor.
Does the Vehicle Counting Solution require access to power at entry or exit points?
No. Sensors run on long-life batteries, so there’s no need for power near entry/exit lanes.
What mounting options are available for the sensors?
Sensors can be surface-mounted or fully in-ground depending on site conditions.
Can system performance be monitored remotely?
Yes. eXactpark supports remote monitoring and diagnostics, allowing operators to track sensor health, system status, and potential issues.
Can Vehicle Counting be used alongside stall-level sensors?
Yes. Car Counting can be deployed independently or alongside stall-level occupancy sensors in eXactpark for hybrid deployments (zone level and individual stall monitoring).
