FAQs
How accurate is Bluecity’s solution?
Our studies have shown that the accuracy of the Bluecity solution when counting vehicles is 97.5%. When measuring speed, the accuracy ranges from 92% to 96%, depending on the vehicle’s average moving speed.
Are lidar sensors reliable in adverse weather and lighting conditions?
Yes, lidar sensors are accurate and reliable in all weather and lighting conditions. Unlike cameras, lidar sensors don’t need clarity to see the objects. Rain and snow do not obscure the sensor so maintenance is minimal.
How does lidar deal with occlusion?
The lidar sensor can be installed in a location where occlusion will be limited. When this is not possible, a second lidar sensor can be added to cover the entire intersection.
What happens if we want to add more intersections?
BlueCity’s solutions were designed with scalability in mind. Installing additional lidar sensors at the intersections you want to cover is quick and easy. You can then access the data from multiple intersections on our platform.
Does BlueCity install the hardware?
BlueCity does not install the hardware. The city or the system integrator will perform the installation, which is typically very quick and easy.
How many sensors do we need to cover an entire intersection?
One lidar sensor is typically enough to cover an entire intersection. For larger intersections, or if there are many obstacles, 2 sensors might be needed to ensure greater accuracy.
Who keeps the hardware after a pilot project is completed?
The lidar sensor and edge box are owned by the client after a pilot project is finished.
Where has BlueCity technology been used before?
BlueCity is being used with great success across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, with more deployments added all the time.
Can I integrate the data with traffic light controllers or other third-party applications?
BlueCity integrates with traffic light controllers and third-party applications. Contact us to confirm the integration with a specific type of controller or application.
