SAN JOSE, Calif.-Saturday 25 July 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Velodyne Lidar, Inc. today
announced a three year sales agreement with PARIFEX, a leading provider
of traffic management and speed measurement systems. PARIFEX uses
Velodyne lidar sensors in its traffic monitoring solutions which can
help reduce road accident rates and enhance roadway safety.
PARIFEX equips its NANO-CAM and NOMAD solutions with Velodyne Puck sensors for
real-time tracking of static and moving objects including vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists, while preserving anonymity. NANO-CAM can be
deployed in speed enforcement for road safety as well as other
applications including smart cities, smart parking and navigation
assistance for autonomous vehicles. NOMAD is a multi-violation system
that can monitor for violations including red light, speed, stop sign,
phone use and more. PARIFEX is an Automated with Velodyne partner.
“Enforcing
vehicle speed limits and other road violations is critical to lowering
road accident rates and increasing safety,” said Nathalie Deguen, Sales
Manager, PARIFEX. “Velodyne lidar adds powerful technology to our
solutions by delivering the range and accuracy we need for vehicle
detection, counting, positioning and tracking. Velodyne sensors provide
strong performance in a wide variety of lighting and weather
conditions.”
“PARIFEX
delivers innovative solutions that can help improve traffic management
to achieve greater road safety,” said Erich Smidt, Executive Director
Europe, Velodyne Lidar. “They show how adding Puck sensors to detection
solutions can enable accurate and reliable violation enforcement at
greater distance over traditional systems. Using the Puck has helped
PARIFEX boost system performance even in difficult roadway conditions
such as tailgating, change of directions and heavy traffic.”
Velodyne
Puck sensors provide rich 3D computer perception data that allows
real-time object and free space detection. The Puck is a small, compact
lidar sensor that delivers 100 meters range. Its reliability,
power-efficiency and surround view make it an ideal solution for Smart
City applications such as pedestrian safety, vehicle traffic and parking
space management, and more.
