Lidar working principle and application

Generally, in order to count the vehicles passing through the highway bayonet within a certain period of time, it is necessary to make accurate judgments on passing vehicles, which is a test of the accuracy of the detection products. In the past, everyone was not widely familiar with the application of lidar in traffic flow statistics. We can understand it through a practical case.

Practical application case

Lidar working principle and application

working principle

Install the lidar directly above the lane to make it detect vertically downwards, as shown in Figure 1.

When there is no vehicle passing by, what is detected is the distance from the lidar to the ground, which is assumed to be X

When a vehicle passes under the lidar, the distance from the lidar to the top of the vehicle is detected, which is assumed to be Z

The value of X is definitely greater than the value of Z. At this time, it can be distinguished from the data whether there are vehicles passing by, so as to cooperate with the system to realize the statistics of traffic flow.

In addition, according to the difference of the Z value, the lidar can also cooperate with the system to determine the height of the vehicle, so as to roughly realize the judgment of the size of the vehicle.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to counting traffic flow, the lidar can also trigger the camera to take pictures.

Ranging principle

In practical applications, this laser radar is based on the TOF (Time-of-Flight) principle, and adopts the phase method to realize the ranging function. Specifically, the laser radar emits modulated near-infrared light and reflects after encountering an object. The sensor calculates the phase difference between the emission and reflection of the modulated infrared light to convert the distance to the measured target object to generate depth information ( Refer to the following schematic diagram of distance measurement principle)

Actual case advantage

Easy to implement

Lidar is easy to implement on site, and the installation cost is low. In addition to the installation method in the case, it can also be installed in front of the high-speed bayonet, as shown in the figure below.

Efficient and stable

Lidar can operate efficiently all-weather and has strong stability

High accuracy

Through the self-developed adaptive algorithm of the lidar, the accuracy of traffic flow statistics reaches 99%

Simple operation and easy integration

Lidar is easy to operate, easy to integrate into the system to collect data

Actual application products

The lidar used by the customer to count traffic is the TF02 single-point ranging lidar that Beixing has already mass-produced, with a range of up to 22m and more stable ranging performance. The shell material is made of high-strength anti-corrosion material, which improves the adaptability to the harsh outdoor environment. At the same time, combined with innovative production technology and multiple optimizations of software and hardware, the lidar has truly reached the consumer level.
