Austin Wilson, Velodyne Lidars Director of Intelligent Infrastructure, explains how lidar (light detection and ranging) technology is evolving to improve mobility safety.

How do you think the mobility ecosystem has changed over the past five years?

We have seen smarter technology being deployed across the mobility ecosystem. Vehicles are increasingly being equipped with sensors, including lidar, that improve navigation and safety. Infrastructure is becoming more intelligent, helping to improve traffic flow efficiency, advance sustainability and protect vulnerable road users. Communication between vehicles and infrastructure is also expanding. For instance, Velodyne Lidars Intelligent Infrastructure Solution uses lidar to extract trajectory road user data around intersections to predict potential collisions, which can be used to warn connected vehicles via Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications. Vehicle manufacturers can leverage the solutions analytics in combination with their on-board safety systems to reduce accident probability.

What kinds of partnerships do you think work best for cities looking to incorporate new transit technologies?

Collaboration is the key to a successful partnership. Companies, local governments and universities are teaming up to improve traffic and energy efficiency, road safety and air quality. For example, Velodyne is collaborating with Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) to deploy our Intelligent Infrastructure Solution. CAIT will install Velodynes lidar sensors at multiple intersections in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The project will serve as a testbed for mobility data-gathering, analysis and sharing technologies that will help implement connected and autonomous vehicle systems in the future.

What areas can cities improve on when it comes to road safety and how?

There is a pressing need for smart city systems that can help improve road safety and prevent traffic accidents. 2020 was the deadliest year for US traffic crashes in over a decade, with a seven percent increase in traffic fatalities over the previous year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This is driving cities to invest in new technologies for traffic monitoring. For instance, the city of Austin, Texas is deploying Velodyne Lidars Intelligent Infrastructure Solution to help achieve its Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on Austin streets.

Weve seen the Biden Administration say it is committed to investing heavily in transport infrastructure. How confident are you that the right areas will be targeted?

There is a major need to repair roads, bridges, sidewalks and more in the United States. We are optimistic that governments will use the new infrastructure bill for technological improvements that will advance the safety of road users. There is no better time to begin integrating new technologies for smart city development, including lidar solutions. The data from lidar technology provides critical information about vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in all types of weather and environmental conditions. This can advance path planning and safety and sustainability efforts, including the reduction of congestion and fossil fuels.

How will lidar play a role in next-generation smart infrastructure development?

Lidar is game-changing technology in smart infrastructure solutions. It creates a real-time 3D map of roads and intersections, providing precise traffic monitoring and analytics. These capabilities are not possible with other types of sensors like cameras or radar. Lidar reliably collects data in any lighting or weather condition, supporting 24/7, 365-days-a-year operation. Also, lidar sensors do not identify individuals facial characteristics, a growing concern for civic applications. Lidar has an advantage in privacy over camera-only systems because lidar does not record details like hair and skin colour.

Whats next for Velodyne Lidar?

We will continue to transform infrastructure to make communities smarter and safer. Our Intelligent Infrastructure Solution has been deployed in multiple cities in North America, Europe and Asia, with more deployments expected worldwide. We are seeing how lidar technology can have an impact on the cost and effort it takes to collect traffic data. Also, the solutions AI capability is increasing the amount of data collected and improving the analysis of that data. Looking ahead, we will tap the experiences of municipalities that have adopted the Intelligent Infrastructure Solution to help new customers apply their best practices for deployment and management.

Shaping the future of mobility safety and technology - Cities Today

Virginia Beach PD previously used the technology

by: Julie Millet

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) A Bluetooth police technology that streamlines officer body camera activation could soon be coming to several police departments across Hampton Roads, but its already been dropped by one department due to safety issues.

The technology, called Signal Sidearm, automatically activates a police officers body camera any time they pull their gun from its holster.

Currently, Suffolk Police Department uses Signal Sidearm. They denied WAVY-TVs request for an interview about how it works. At least three other departments in Hampton Roads are considering using the technology.

The Virginia Beach Police Department previously used Signal Sidearm, but dropped the technology due to safety issues.

So, we went to the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department for answers about Signal Sidearm. Theyve been using the technology for about a year and a half. For officers in Charlotte, their body camera turns on not just when the officer pulls their gun, but also when they pull their taser or turn on their blue emergency lights on their car.

In a life or death situation, they dont have to think about [turning their camera on], said Capt. Mike Harris.

Theres a lot that goes through our mind when we respond to a call. Theres 15 or 20 different options that could take place good or bad, said Harris.

When Donovon Lynch was shot and killed by a Virginia Beach Police Officer but no body camera footage was available from that officer, it was made public that the Signal Sidearm devices couldnt properly fit with the departments existing holsters. The department then worked to get holsters that could accommodate the Signal Sidearm technology.

However, Safariland model holsters and their accompanying Signal technology were pulled several months later after an officers weapon fired during a struggle with a homicide suspect at a local hospital. At that time, the police chief said a potential defect with the holster presented the safety issue.

We reached out to Virginia Beach police for an update on whether they will revisit the Signal Sidearm technology. Our questions were not answered before this report was published.

Meanwhile, in Charlotte, Harris tells us Signal Sidearm goes a long way to creating accountability within his department.

Were in a time where we want to be as transparent as possible, said Harris.

It gives us the opportunity to have that interaction on a daily basis with the people we come in contact with, said Harris.

The technology initially cost the department about $200,000. It is now part of a larger contract and paid for with city funds.

Harris says the technology is invaluable if it helps his officers stay safe.

We have stress, we have things to think about, sometimes when that critical call becomes extremely dangerous, we have to laser focus to make sure we go home to our families safely, he said.

The end of passwords

For decades, weve needed passwords to do things online. New forms of authentication will finally let us get rid of them for good. Instead, well use a link sent via email, a push notification, or a biometric scan. Not only are these methods easieryou dont have to remember your facebut they tend to be more secure.

The pandemic brought unprecedented investment in genomic sequencing and dramatically expanded the capacity for this type of monitoring around the world. Better surveillance has allowed scientists to track the spread of the covid virus and to quickly spot and warn about new variants.

Were using more renewable power than ever. But what happens when the sun sets or the wind stops? Grid operators need a way to store electricity for later. New iron-based batteries may be up to the task. Theyre made using abundant materials and could be cheaper and more practical than other types of grid storage.
