lidar

Three year to develop a snow avalanche detection service for the Austrian Alpine region using remote sensing data from Sentinel and automotive lidar data. Each year about 100 people lose their lives in snow avalanches in the European Alps and in addition the annual financial loss due to road closures and damages is estimated to be more than one billion euros in Europe only.

One year exploratory project funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) to develop a snow avalanche detection service for the Austrian Alpine region using remote sensing data from Sentinel and automotive lidar data.

Data collection and analytics to detect faults close to the lidar unit such as vibration, blocking layers on the cover. Development of testing routines and data analytics tools for the future development of fault detection algorithms.

iLIDS4SAM is a flagship project for Austria´s future in automated mobility. Automated mobility systems are presently moving towards more complex urban traffic scenarios. The FFG-funded iLIDS4SAM project will enable this transition by developing high performance, low-cost LiDAR sensors with increased field of view and resolution.
