3D Laser Radar for Traffic Safety System

Three dimensional (3D) laser radar is a high-speed figure recognition system that measures the position and speed of objects in real time. It can function despite poor weather conditions as it works by measuring the distance to an object with a laser pulse. By applying 3D laser radar for use in road and rail traffic safety, IHI has realized a system that can measure the position and speeds of vehicles and pedestrians. Currently, more than 1,000 of these systems are in operation in Japan and it is highly likely this number will increase in future, so contributing to improvements to traffic safety.
