Innoviz Technologies Ltd., Cron AI, and D2 Traffic Technologies announced their collaboration, catering to the major hurdle to LiDAR deployment in intelligent transport systems (ITS), perimeter security, and infrastructure intelligence by combining their complementary technologies.
The collaboration will focus on the installation of an automotive-grade LiDAR sensor, senseEDGE - Cron AI's edge-native 3D perception platform, and D2 Traffic Technologies' deep expertise in deployment and integration with local municipalities.
As an outcome of this collaboration, companies will benefit from the following key points:
- A set of interoperable components designed to work seamlessly together to solve three long-standing hurdles in LiDAR adoption
- Unreliable perception, fragmented hardware/software stacks, and the lack of field-ready deployment tools
By integrating InnovizSMART's outstanding 3D performance, Cron AI's proven perception software, and D2's hands-on infrastructure integration, this suite offers a reliable, scalable, as well as ROI-driven pathway to LiDAR adoption in ITS, rail, security, and smart city deployments.
InnovizSMART returns 5.76 million points-per-second with a single reflection and has the capability to output two reflections, effectively doubling its point rate. Combined with its 450-meter range capability, it enables long-distance vehicle and Vulnerable Road User (VRU) detection capability that is significantly higher than other sensors.
D2 Traffic Technologies plays a major role in bringing the perception stack to life on the ground, ensuring smooth integration into existing ITS and infrastructure networks, and delivering turnkey deployments for agencies and operators.
BlueBand is a key partner in the ecosystem, pushing the high-fidelity fused perception data from the LiDAR and Cron's senseEDGE to build advanced analytics and dashboards through its Integrator AI platform — enabling use cases like VRU safety, wrong-way driving detection, as well as real-time traffic flow monitoring.
Executive Statement
According to Kevin Yorke, CEO of BlueBand, the value they deliver starts with unmatched data fidelity. They provide the gold standard data DOTs rely on — and transform it into real-time intelligence and actionable visualizations and decision-ready insights that empower agencies to act with confidence.
