Fill your spaces with a smarter parking system — Signal-Tech’s RedStorm!
The RedStorm 2.1 Parking Guidance System is a car counting system with OPTIONS:
- Install it as a stand-alone, automated parking guidance system with Space Available signs - no Ethernet or software required
- Add RedStorm Reporting Software and start monitoring parking activity today
- Add Signal-Tech Smart Signs for the ultimate Parking and Traffic Control Solution!
RedStorm 2.1 is ideal for a single parking garage or multiple locations in a campus setting. It adapts to new and existing garages and surface lots and interfaces with third-party loop detection and gates.
RedStorm 2.1 is more than a car parking system with software. It can count vehicles while redirecting patrons to alternate or overflow parking through a network of fully integrated, intelligent Smart Signs. As parking capacities fill up, the system can change the messages on Smart Signs to alert and redirect traffic.

When you choose RedStorm 2.1, you get a system that is:
- Expandable and scalable over time
- Capable of delivering accurate counts, even when tailgating occurs
- Compatible with new and existing third-party loop detection equipment
- Ideal for service-driven industries with non-revenue control parking garages and lots
- TCP/IP Ethernet-enabled for use with our RedStorm Sign Control & Reporting Software and Signal-Tech Smart Signs
- Supported by a trained network of providers and an engineering team in the U.S.A.
How the RedStorm 2.1 Automated Parking Guidance System Works
As a vehicle enters the parking garage or lot, it passes over a pair of loop detectors or under a pair of overhead sensors that can detect the direction of travel. When the vehicle triggers detection, the DZ Counter (differential counter) captures that information and communicates it to the SuperMaster Controller. The SuperMaster Controller, in turn, communicates the counts to the Space Available Signs and updates the LED count displays on the signs in real time. Learn more about how it works.
Why Choose RedStorm 2.1?
It’s Expandable
Start with one RedStorm 2.1 system. Expand it to a level-by-level count system. Add software to increase its span of control and Smart Signs for traffic control:
- Begin monitoring and reporting parking activity. This enables the delivery of the best parking experience to customers
- Manage one or multiple RedStorm 2.1 parking locations
- Share available parking information with customers using Signal-Tech’s XML feed
- Use parking occupancy-level-conditions to redirect motorists to alternate parking with smart LED wayfinding signs
Anti-tailgating Sensor TechnologyYou can count on RedStorm's ability to detect vehicles even in congested tailgating situations. We use the optical precision of infra-red technology to detect vehicular movement. Our sensors have a 7 foot wide sensing field which provides maximum coverage over the traffic lane and a narrow 3 inch deep sensing field ensures detection of individual cars, even in bumper to bumper traffic.
It’s Accurate
The RedStorm 2.1 Automated Parking Guidance System uses infrared technology to detect vehicle movement even when bumper-to-bumper tailgating situations occur.
It’s Simple
The system can be installed without structural changes or concrete to cut. RedStorm 2.1 will interface with third-party inductive loops and our overhead sensors.
It’s Versatile
RedStorm 2.1 adapts to any garage or surface lot configuration. Use it for existing or new parking facilities, large or small lots, and city-wide or campus-type locations. It’s simple enough to support a total count system at a single structure or lot and robust enough to handle complex level-by-level counts and multiple garages, surface lots, or combinations of both.
- As a Total Count System, it tracks the number of vehicles entering and exiting the garage or lot.
- As a Level-by-Level Count System, it tracks the number of available or open spaces by level, deck, or nested area in a parking facility.
- In a city-wide or campus-style parking application, it broadcasts available or open space counts to signs across the network.
- It eliminates traffic congestion at “Full” parking locations by redirecting motorists to alternate or underutilized parking locations.
It’s Green
The RedStorm automated parking guidance system gives real-time car counting. Its Space Available signs and Smart Signs’ traffic control capabilities make finding an open space faster and easier. Faster parking reduces fuel usage and eliminates congestion and stress. Finally, long-lasting, super-bright LEDs are an energy-efficient way to ensure parkers can read the critical information they need about available parking spots!
