D2 Traffic Technologies, a provider of intelligent transportation systems, has selected Aeva’s 4D lidar to enhance its portfolio of smart traffic offerings for intersections, highways and urban corridors.

“At D2, we are filling the gaps in transportation with innovation and technology,” said Eric Gannaway director of Michigan-based D2 Traffic Technologies. “Integrating Aeva’s 4D lidar into our systems raises the bar for what’s possible in traffic sensing, enabling smarter intersection control, more accurate vehicle counting, better pedestrian safety and real-time insights for operators, all powered by richer and more reliable data.”

D2 plans to integrate Aeva’s frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) 4D lidar sensors into its traffic platforms to deliver richer, more precise data for intelligent transportation infrastructure. With the ability to measure simultaneously 3D position and velocity of objects at long range and with high resolution, Aeva’s sensors improve D2’s ability to detect and classify vehicles, monitor pedestrian movement, and enable real-time traffic control, especially in complex and dynamic environments.

By adopting the 4D lidar technology, D2 aims to unlock a new level of traffic intelligence that enhances performance across a range of use cases, including urban intersection monitoring, tolling systems, HOV and HOT lane enforcement, incident detection, and smart city edge analytics.

Unlike traditional lidar systems, which rely solely on 3D spatial data, Aeva’s sensors provide direct velocity measurements for every point in the scene. This allows D2’s platforms to distinguish more accurately between static and moving objects, track vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists with greater reliability, and proactively respond to changing traffic patterns in real time.

“D2 Traffic Technologies is a leader in intelligent transportation infrastructure and we’re excited they have selected Aeva’s 4D lidar technology for their cutting-edge traffic management,” said James Byun, managing director of business development at California-based Aeva (www.aeva.com). “Our sensors provide unmatched awareness for real-world traffic environments, and we’re proud to support D2’s efforts to enhance safety, reduce congestion and deliver smarter mobility experiences for cities and citizens alike.”
