CUIP, CDOT Partnering With Seoul Robotics And Ouster To Improve Pedestrian Safety Tuesday, January 19, 2021 The UTC s Center for Urban Informatics and Progress, with the Chattanooga Department of Transportation, are partnering with Seoul Robotics and Ouster to make Chattanooga safer for pedestrians utilizing light detection and ranging (lidar). Ouster’s lidar sensors and Seoul Robotics’ perception software, SENSR, which uses deep learning technologies, would help CUIP and CDOT understand pedestrian patterns and risk factors to be mitigated.
The lidar systems will work in conjunction with the existing MLK Smart Corridor sensors to create a more robust picture of how pedestrians and vehicles interact.
