LeddarTech increases d-tec sensor range

LeddarTech, Canadian supplier of advanced 3D detection and tracking systems based on patented Leddar (Light Emitting Diode Detection and Ranging) technology, has launched the second generation of its d-tec 3D traffic sensor. Leddar d-tec emits non-visible light into the area of interest and measures the time taken for the light to reflect off of objects and return to the sensor.

84 LeddarTech, Canadian supplier of advanced 3D detection and tracking systems based on patented Leddar (Light Emitting Diode Detection and Ranging) technology, has launched the second generation of its d-tec 3D traffic sensor.

Leddar d-tec emits non-visible light into the area of interest and measures the time taken for the light to reflect off of objects and return to the sensor. The second generation provides a range increase of 25 per cent for all d-tec products without comprising the accuracy and performance of the 3D sensor, enabling the sensor to provide traffic detection up to 75 metres.

“Long-awaited, the second-generation d-tec provides the flexibility traffic managers require without comprising performance”, stated Dave Gilbert, vice-president business development and sales.  “Thanks to our 3D traffic sensors and other products, ensuring optimal traffic flow in all conditions is just one of the wide range of applications made possible by Leddar.”

    Geoff Hadwick attended ASECAP’s 2015 Study Days meeting in Lisbon and found a frustrated European tolling sector undertaking some soul searching. The international road tolling industry its failing to make it case and the sector is losing out to a range of other socio-political lobby groups according to International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) chief executive Pat Jones. Speaking at the recent 2015 ASECAP Study Days conference in Lisbon, Jones issued a stark warning: “Tolling is still o

    July 26, 2012
    David Crawford watches the race to get the world's first PRT system up and running. To paraphrase the old joke about buses bunching, you seem to have to wait several decades for a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system, and then half a dozen come along together. Currently, in fact, there are well over that number of schemes for driverless electric passenger-carrying 'pod' networks at various stages of planning, design and implementation around the world. Locations range from a straight-off-the-drawing board ne

    Ford Motor Company and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are collaborating on a new research project that measures how pedestrians move in urban areas to improve certain public transportation services, such as ride-hailing and point-to-point shuttles services. The project will introduce a fleet of on-demand electric vehicle shuttles that operate on both city roads and campus walkways on the university’s campus. The vehicles use LiDAR sensors and cameras to measure pedestrian flow, which ultimate
