A complete traffic management system for smart cities
Ouster Blue City uses lidar and perception software to detect and classify road users. The specification linked on this page describes a standalone detection system and a separate cloud-based data analytics platform. The detection system combines lidar sensors, an edge computer and software that turns sensor information into traffic data.
The specification describes vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist detection, together with information such as presence, traffic volume, occupancy and speed. It also describes traffic-controller actuation and interfaces for integration with external systems. The connections and functions required for a project should be confirmed against the selected configuration.
The standalone detection system is designed to support traffic actuation without an internet connection. Cloud-based analytics is a separate part of the documented offering, with access to historical information and analytics exports. Confirm the required platform access and service arrangements when discussing a project.
Provide an intersection plan, the road users and movements to be detected, and the proposed sensor mounting locations. Identify the existing controller and explain whether the requirement is detection, signal actuation, analytics or a combination of these functions. Include available network and power information for the technical review.
Read the linked Bluecity specification for the documented system components and ordering arrangements. It describes single-sensor and dual-sensor detection bundles and a separate analytics subscription. Ask Fortran Traffic to confirm current components, coverage and integration requirements for the proposed application.
