Helsinki traffic safety improvement project deploys velodyne lidar Intelligent Infrastructure Solution

Velodyne Using lidar and edge AI computing to realize traffic monitoring

Velodyne Lidar, Inc. (Nasdaq: VLDR, VLDRW) Announced today , Its Intelligent infrastructure solutions (IIS) Deployed in Helsinki, Finland , Used to collect traffic data and improve road safety . The project demonstrates IIS In multimodal traffic counting and classification , And the high accuracy and value of near miss collision detection and monitoring .

The project consists of Forum Virium Helsinki And Helsinki ,Nodeon Finland and Commsignia Joint participation . Intelligent infrastructure solutions combine Velodyne The award-winning Laser sensor and Bluecity Artificial intelligence software , It is used to monitor the traffic in Helsinki Jätkäsaari The flow of three intersections on the road section . Besides , One of the intersections is also equipped with a collaborative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) Roadside installation , Used to carry out experiments —— Send a warning message to the driver , Alert vulnerable road users at intersections .

In this project ,IIS Cars are provided 、 Bicycle and pedestrian traffic counts , The average accuracy is 97%. The solution also demonstrates its role in detecting near miss crashes （ Such as running red lights and jaywalking ） The utility of , Such detection can provide valuable information for the development of traffic management improvement measures aimed at improving safety . The follow-up work of the project includes the further development of the vehicle classification function 、 Create mobile travel solutions for short-term traffic flow measurement , And in IIS And traffic signal controller .

Forum Virium Helsinki project manager Janne Rinne Express ：“Velodyne Lidar Have proved , It can reliably and accurately generate the vehicle involved 、 Intersection traffic information for pedestrians and bicycles , Including quantity and classification data 、 Direction 、 Track and speed, etc . This solution provides accurate real-time detection data , And support C-ITS Security solution , Such as warnings for vulnerable road users , To help improve road safety .”

Velodyne Lidar Senior vice president of global sales Laura Wrisley Express ：“ Our intelligent infrastructure solutions provide the data that traffic planners need , It can be used to understand traffic network problems , And adopt active detection methods to ensure the safety of vehicles and vulnerable road users . Our solutions are transforming the infrastructure to ensure that the community is more intelligent 、 Leading the way in more security .”

About Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions

Intelligent infrastructure solutions provide traffic monitoring and analysis functions , Can improve road safety 、 Efficiency and air quality , And help make urban planning smarter 、 Safer transportation systems . This full stack solution has been deployed on three continents , Including in Texas 、 Florida 、 Nevada 、 California 、 New Jersey 、 Systems deployed in Missouri and Canada .

Velodyne Our lidar sensors don't recognize individual facial features , This is an important issue that people are generally concerned about in public applications . Lidar has more advantages than pure camera system in protecting personal privacy , Because it does not record details such as hair color and skin color .Velodyne The lidar sensor can reliably collect data under any light or weather conditions , Support 24x7 operation .

By improving traffic flow , Reduce traffic jams , Intelligent infrastructure solutions can improve energy efficiency , Reduce greenhouse gas emissions , Contribute to a more sustainable future . lately , The solution was awarded “ Southwest to South ” Multi Innovation Conference and Art Festival (South by Southwest Conference and Festivals) Granted 2022 year SXSW Innovation Award .
