When I park my truck, I often look in the side and rearview mirror to make sure I’m not going to hit anything. If I’m not careful, I can back up too far or rub my tire against the curb. Now, many cars come with sensors or the option to install them later. I know this could be a lifesaver for me. Car parking sensors use ultrasonic sound waves or electromagnetic\u00a0fields to measure distance. They usually come with a visual display with audio sounds that indicate how close you are to objects. When you park, you will be able to tell how close things are to the bumper so you can avoid hitting them. When signals reflect off objects and back to parking sensors, you can get a good idea if something is in your way most of the time. If you’re ready to stop bumping into objects as I do from time to time, then parking sensors might be a good investment. We’ll talk more about how sensors work and which ones you might want to choose for your vehicle. Types of Parking Sensor Systems Ultrasonic and Electromagnetic The two types of sensors you will find for cars are ultrasonic and electromagnetic sensors. If you have a car that has little round circles on your bumper, then I would first see if there are specific sensors for your car. Ultrasonic sensors – These sensors send out unheard sound waves that can bounce off objects. Similar to sonar, sound signals are sent out and bounce back so the sensor can tell if something is there. The time it takes for the sound wave to come back to the sensor, lets the sensor system know how close an object is so it can show the driver. Some sensors work up to 30″ long and about 12″ wide. That’s why most sensors come in groups of four to give you a wider area of sensing what might be behind or in front of you. Know problems – These sensors aren’t great at distinguishing objects that are very thin in width or depth. The sound waves don’t bounce off of these objects well. In addition, they can usually only distinguish objects directly behind them and not higher or lower than the bumper. Electromagnetic Sensors – These sensors create an electromagnetic field using radio waves that can be disrupted when it comes in contact with objects. Similar to radar, radio signals are sent out and bounce back with a different signal if they hit an object and the sensor system knows how close an object is. Some sensors can work up to 36″ long and some are longer. Their horizontal sensing is limited so prevents sensing anything too low or high. Know problems – These sensors might not be as sensitive as ultrasonic sensors, but some may be depending on the type you get. If there are other electronic devices near, it may disrupt the signal that the sensor receives. If your car doesn’t have holes meant for sensors, most sensor kits come with a drill attachment to make holes in plastic bumpers. If you have a metal bumper you can get an electromagnetic sensor strip that attaches to the inside of the bumper. Parking Sensor Choices To make a good choice for the sensor you want from your car it is important to consider the different types of sensors and how they are different from each other. More so, they are also different in terms of the sensors that they are equipped with: Factors to Consider Before Buying A Parking Sensor While these backup sensors can assist you in parking, there are differences between types of sensors. To make the most out of it, you need to carefully evaluate the choices.
