Important results from the project
The pilot study has given good results and validated our previous hypotheses about what is available in the research of lidar in infrastructure to improve safety and flows in traffic. The pilot study met the needs that existed to be able to successfully continue with full-scale project both in research and in sharp.
Important conclusions are that it is not about technical challenges, but rather compliance with existing structures and quality work to validate new technology.
Expected long term effects
3-5 year horizon: New project has taken off after the feasibility study and full-scale installations are also available in more challenging scenarios, e.g. a busy intersection. The first solution with traffic control using lidar in the infrastructure has scaled up to 10,000 units and is improving safety and traffic flow in cities globally. The technology improves awareness for both pedestrians and vehicles and the 3D sensors are now as simple and affordable as cameras.
Approach and implementation
The preliminary study was based on a literature study of what is available in the field of lidar monitoring in infrastructure, from recent years, as development has probably been rapid recently. Assumptions about quality and usability from just 5 years ago are no longer relevant. Literature study together with own analysis from customer projects forms the basis for the study´s analysis of technical overview, regulatory, and behavior and culture.
