Abstract
Disclosed is a parking sensor device for determining occupancy of a parking space. The parking sensor device has a magnetometer sensor configured to detect a magnetic field, and a radar sensor configured to perform at least one radar scan to detect presence of an object. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the parking sensor device has control circuitry configured to determine occupancy of the parking space based on the magnetic field and the at least one radar scan. Utilizing this particular combination of sensor input can help to improve accuracy and reliability of determining occupancy of the parking space, especially when compared to existing approaches that utilize a single sensor such as a magnetometer sensor. The parking sensor device also has an output for conveying occupancy of the parking space.
