The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has selected Aeva’s CityOS platform for a large-scale deployment at 30 intersections in the greater Atlanta area. The project uses 4D LiDAR technology to monitor traffic and pedestrian activity in real time.
The expansion follows an initial pilot around Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia World Congress Centre, one of Atlanta’s busiest pedestrian corridors. The CityOS platform uses Aeva’s Atlas Orion sensors to detect and track the movement of vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. The technology is intended to improve roadway safety and provide analytics for traffic operations.
“Aeva CityOS brings real-time intelligence to road infrastructure,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. He stated that the deployment demonstrates how cities can use LiDAR and AI to better understand traffic activity and protect vulnerable road users.
Aeva’s proprietary Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR technology measures 3D position and velocity simultaneously. This allows the sensors to track moving objects with high precision. Unlike traditional cameras or radar, the 4D LiDAR operates in all lighting conditions, including complete darkness and direct sun glare. The system also provides high spatial resolution while preserving privacy by not relying on identifiable imagery.
The Atlanta project represents one of the first large-scale implementations of LiDAR-powered intelligent infrastructure in the United States. Aeva, which is listed on the Nasdaq, develops sensing and perception systems for automated driving, manufacturing, and robotics. The company’s mission is to provide silicon-based perception platforms for a wide range of autonomous applications.
