This initiative is a collaborative effort with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Ouster BlueCity distributor, Southern Lighting & Traffic Systems, to modernize the region's traffic infrastructure.

The expansion follows the deployment of Ouster BlueCity at an initial 6 intersections in downtown Atlanta on a high-traffic and pedestrian corridor near the Georgia World Congress Center. As one of the largest and fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States, Atlanta is prioritizing data-driven solutions to manage increasing traffic density and vulnerable road user safety. By integrating Ouster BlueCity, which combines Ouster's 3D digital lidar sensors with proprietary AI perception software, GDOT aims to:

  • Optimize traffic flow: Improve real-time traffic signal actuation to reduce congestion and idle times.
  • Improve safety: Detect, classify, and track different types of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists for advanced safety features even in diverse environmental and lighting conditions.
  • Provide real-time alerts: Deploy proactive, real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) safety alerts for connected vehicles via on-boarding units.
