4D LiDAR for Smart Infrastructure, Traffic Control, and Security

Aeva has unveiled the Atlas Orion, a cutting-edge 4D LiDAR sensor designed to revolutionize smart infrastructure and security systems. This innovative sensor is engineered to gather situational data while ensuring the privacy of individuals by not capturing any personally identifiable information, addressing a crucial concern in both public and private spaces.

Atlas Orion is meticulously crafted to meet the stringent NEMA-TS2 traffic signal control standards, offering exceptional long-range perception and durability to thrive in challenging outdoor environments. Its compact single-box design, featuring integrated power and data over Ethernet (PoE++), streamlines deployment processes, making them swift and cost-effective. The installation is simplified with a single gigabit Ethernet cable for both power and data, reducing infrastructure complexity and expenses. Moreover, the groundbreaking FMCW 4D LiDAR technology embedded in Atlas Orion ensures the precision and intelligence necessary to drive data-centric smart city initiatives and enhance security in various facilities.

Equipped with advanced high-resolution detection capabilities and dynamic object tracking, Atlas Orion is tailored to tackle the complexities of transportation safety, security, and crowd monitoring applications. Leveraging the Ultra Resolution technology developed by Aeva, this 4D LiDAR sensor delivers the accuracy and sharpness essential for optimizing infrastructure operations and enhancing safety measures. It operates seamlessly in low-light and nighttime conditions, surpassing the performance of camera-centric systems, and remains unaffected by sunlight glare or issues like blooming and ghosting from reflective surfaces such as road signs and reflectors.

Atlas Orion boasts the unique ability to simultaneously measure velocity and position, facilitating precise tracking in dynamic environments. With an impressive detection range of up to 500 meters for vehicles and 200 meters for vulnerable road users, this sensor offers a comprehensive solution for various scenarios. Featuring a wide 120-degree field of view and ultra-fine angular resolution of up to 0.05° x 0.05°, the 4D LiDAR can efficiently cover intersections with just two sensors, enhancing operational efficiency and scalability in traffic management deployments.

“Atlas Orion establishes a new benchmark for smart infrastructure,” remarked Mina Rezk, the Co-Founder and CTO of Aeva. “This product aligns with our vision to create smarter, safer, and more efficient cities. With its exceptional performance, dynamic object detection and tracking capabilities, and user-friendly installation process, Atlas Orion delivers immediate value to cities, large facilities like airports, and security teams aiming to leverage data for informed decision-making.”
