Hardware Requirement
Type of Sensor:
LiDAR: Capturing Road Users Precisely and Anonymously
Laser-based LiDAR technology provides detailed and reliable 3D information that makes it easy to
distinguish between different road users. And while it is possible to classify objects using the 3D point
cloud into pedestrians, cars, cyclists, etc., individual identification is not possible, therefore protecting
the privacy of road users.
In addition, LiDAR sensors can reliably collect information even in difficult weather and lighting
conditions. Darkness, dust, or fog do not bother the technology. Moreover, using the position and
object classification and information, the sensors also record speeds, which can help analyze traffic
flow or the causes of traffic jams.
LiDAR can also help construct high definition city maps for traffic prediction and suggests alternate
routes. This data can be then used to smartly manage road signals and provide timely traffic prediction,
which not only reduces traffic jams but also cuts down smoke emissions from vehicles by a significant
amount.
Type of Camera:
CCTV cameras: usually disguised and located on masts at the side of the road, designed to monitor traffic levels
on the motorway and trunk road network
ANPR Cameras: usually found on gantries and overhead bridges, is a technology that uses optical character
recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates
