Recently Announced AI-Powered Intelligent Transportation Systems Platform to Expand to 30 Additional Intersections Following Initial Deployment
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.
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.
