Visual Sensors Combine for Rail Vehicle Safety
TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2022 — Lidar system designer and manufacturer Lumibird Canada, digital technology company Thales, and the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University completed their OnTRAC project, aimed at developing, prototyping, and validating the feasibility of a sensor fusion system built on lidar technology. The program spanned 30 months. The system is designed to be integrated with autonomous rail vehicles for the purpose of obstacle detection, classification, and tracking (OCDT) in varying weather
