Skylane
Intelligent Carpool Occupancy Detection and Access Control Solution
Skylane is an innovative solution developed by Seolane Innovation that automatically detects, counts, and classifies vehicle occupants in order to efficiently manage access to carpool parking facilities and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Combining Artificial Intelligence with a multi-sensor architecture, Skylane accurately distinguishes single-occupant vehicles from vehicles carrying multiple passengers.
Already deployed on several Park & Ride facilities within the Rennes metropolitan area, the solution achieves a driver-alone versus carpool vehicle classification rate exceeding 99.5%.

What is Skylane used for?
Skylane automatically controls access to carpool parking facilities and reserved traffic lanes by verifying that a vehicle is carrying the required number of occupants.
How accurate is the system?
Skylane achieves a driver-alone versus carpool vehicle classification accuracy of over 99.5%.
Can Skylane be connected to an existing access barrier?
Yes. The solution provides Ethernet and TOR interfaces allowing integration with most access control systems available on the market.
Can the solution operate outdoors?
Yes. The sensors are specifically designed for outdoor deployment and can be integrated into dedicated roadside terminals or weather-resistant enclosures for continuous operation in urban environments.
Can the data be monitored remotely?
Yes. Optional cloud-based supervision enables remote monitoring of equipment status, occupancy statistics, and system performance.
Who are the target customers?
- Metropolitan authorities
- Local governments
- Mobility authorities
- Park & Ride operators
- HOV lane operators
- Highway operators
- Public transportation operators
Where is the solution developed?
All Seolane Innovation solutions are designed, developed, and engineered in France.
