Compared with traditional roadside monitoring equipment such as cameras and speed radars, lidar has an irreplaceable advantage.

Lidar is better at long-distance detection (the farthest detection distance can reach more than 200 meters), and can provide 3D spatial data of the environment. Therefore, as a part of safety redundancy, roadside lidar improves the accuracy and safety of the overall system through data fusion with other sensors. With the support from the algorithm, the LiDAR system can achieve:

(1) Identify and distinguish dynamic targets such as passenger cars, trucks, trucks/buses, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles, without violation of privacy; 
(2) Continuously output the position and direction, speed, acceleration, steering angle, time distance/spacing between objects and other parameters of the dynamic target. 

In terms of performance, the road end requires the lidar to have a larger sensing range and resolution. For example, in a highway scene, the roadside lidar must have the ability to accurately detect small objects in the distance, so as to reserve more time for vehicle decision-making.

LS LIDAR supply wide range of the LiDAR products for V2X / Smart City application with different ranges, channels and costs, to meet most of V2X application  requirements.
