Georgia DOT expands Aeva CityOS LiDAR platform in Atlanta

Aeva has been selected by the Georgia Department of Transportation to deploy its CityOS intelligent transportation systems platform across 30 additional intersections in the greater Atlanta area, following an initial rollout around Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia World Congress Center. The expansion represents one of the first large-scale deployments of LiDAR-powered intelligent transportation infrastructure in the US.

CityOS combines Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors with edge AI perception and analytics to provide real-time monitoring of intersection activity, covering vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. The platform supports applications including vulnerable road user safety monitoring, wrong-way driving detection and traffic flow analysis. Each intersection is equipped with Aeva Atlas Orion sensors using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR, which measures three-dimensional position and velocity simultaneously and operates across all lighting conditions without relying on identifiable imagery.

In a statement, James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva, said: “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.”

The initial deployment covered intersections in one of Atlanta’s highest-footfall areas, serving tourism, convention and multimodal transport activity.
