Key Terms
intelligent transportation systemstechnical
Intelligent transportation systems are networks of sensors, cameras, software and communications that collect and analyze traffic, vehicle and transit data to improve safety, flow and efficiency—like a city’s traffic brain that links lights, signs, buses and cars to respond in real time. For investors, ITS matter because they create demand for hardware, software and services, shape government spending and regulations, and can change costs and revenue for transport, logistics and urban development projects.
4d lidartechnical
4D LiDAR is a sensor that maps the shape and position of objects around it (the 3D part) while also capturing motion or timing information (the fourth dimension), so it can tell not just where something is but whether and how fast it’s moving. For investors, this matters because sensors that see movement more clearly can improve safety, enable more advanced driverless vehicles and robots, reduce reliance on expensive complementary sensors, and influence product competitiveness and market adoption.
frequency modulated continuous wavetechnical
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) is a sensing method that sends a continuous signal whose pitch (frequency) is steadily swept up or down and measures the difference between the sent and returned signals to determine distance and relative speed. Think of it like changing the tone of a whistle and timing how the altered echo returns; investors care because FMCW sensors are compact, cost-effective, and widely used in automotive, industrial, and consumer products, affecting a maker’s market potential and product performance.
fmcw lidartechnical
Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) LiDAR is a laser-based sensing system that measures both distance and speed by sending a continuously changing-frequency beam and comparing the returned light, similar to how a police radar tunes and listens for a reflected signal. It matters to investors because FMCW designs can deliver longer range, more reliable readings in traffic or crowded environments, lower interference and better velocity data than older pulsed LiDAR, which can translate into stronger product performance, safety advantages and clearer market differentiation for companies using or supplying the technology.
edge aitechnical
Edge AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that process data directly on local devices or nearby servers rather than sending information to distant data centers. This allows for faster decision-making and real-time responses, similar to how a home security camera can instantly detect motion without needing to connect to a remote server. For investors, edge AI represents a growing trend toward more efficient, responsive technology that can create new opportunities across various industries.
Recently Announced AI-Powered Intelligent Transportation Systems Platform to Expand to 30 Additional Intersections Following Initial Deployment
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Aeva (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has selected the Aeva CityOS™ intelligent transportation systems (ITS) platform for a deployment at 30 new intersections across multiple sites in the greater Atlanta area. The expansion represents a significant step toward scaling AI-powered intelligent infrastructure using Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology in one of the largest cities in the United States.
Aeva CityOS™ system in a major Georgia intersection
The expansion follows an initial rollout of CityOS across multiple intersections surrounding Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia World Congress Center. The area is one of Atlanta’s busiest pedestrian corridors and a major destination for tourism, events, and convention activity. Its high concentration of foot traffic and multimodal activity made it an ideal environment to demonstrate how CityOS’s advanced sensing and AI-powered perception and analytics could improve roadway safety and traffic operations.
“Aeva CityOS brings real-time intelligence to road infrastructure,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. “Deploying the platform in one of Atlanta’s busiest pedestrian corridors has shown how cities can use 4D LiDAR and AI to better understand traffic activity, improve safety for vulnerable road users, and manage mobility more effectively. The expansion of the deployment reflects the strong value transportation agencies see in this new generation of intelligent infrastructure.”
AI-Powered Traffic Intelligence with 4D LiDAR
CityOS combines Aeva’s automotive-grade 4D LiDAR with edge AI-powered perception and advanced analytics to provide continuous, real-time awareness of intersection activity. The platform detects and analyzes the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users to support applications such as vulnerable road user safety monitoring, wrong-way driving detection, and real-time traffic flow analysis.
Each CityOS-enabled intersection is equipped with Aeva Atlas™ Orion sensors to deliver full-area coverage and comprehensive situational awareness. Powered by Aeva’s proprietary Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR technology, the 4D LIDAR sensors measure 3D position and velocity simultaneously, enabling precise detection and tracking of moving objects.
Unlike traditional ITS technologies such as cameras, radar, or inductive loops, Aeva’s 4D LiDAR operates reliably in all lighting conditions, including direct sun glare and complete darkness, while providing higher spatial resolution and privacy-preserving sensing without reliance on identifiable imagery.
The Atlanta deployment will represent one of the first large-scale implementations of LiDAR-powered intelligent transportation infrastructure in the United States.
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving, manufacturing automation and smart infrastructure, to robotics and consumer devices. Aeva is accelerating autonomy with its groundbreaking perception platform that integrates lidar-on-chip technology, system-on-chip processing, and perception algorithms onto silicon leveraging silicon photonics. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect velocity and position simultaneously, allowing automated devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
