Ouster^™ Lidar and
BlueCity Platform

What is the Ouster BlueCity Lidar Solution?

The Ouster BlueCity Lidar Platform delivers unmatched accuracy, reliability, and real time situational awareness, detecting, classifying, and tracking multimodal road users even in the most challenging weather or low light conditions.

Designed for transportation agencies and Smart Cities seeking a leading edge detection platform, the system supports emerging safety and countermeasure initiatives, dynamic signal control, and V2X strategies while reducing maintenance and eliminating invasive installation.

The system is an AI driven traffic detection system built upon Ouster’s 3D digital lidar and BlueCity analytics platform. When combined with Econolite’s Cobalt ATC controller powered by EOS, this leading-edge detection solution generates a real time digital twin of the roadway, enabling precise detection and tracking of vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and Vulnerable Roadway Users (VRUs) in complex roadway scenarios.

Integrated with Cobalt and EOS for Advanced Traffic Operations

Through its integration with Econolite’s Cobalt controllers and EOS traffic‑control firmware, the solution supports:

• Dynamic signal actuation
• VRU (vulnerable road user) detection
• V2X message protocols and CV readiness
• Adaptive traffic control strategies

This architecture connects seamlessly to Roadside Units (RSUs) and edge‑computing systems, enabling flexible, scalable deployment.

Unlike traditional detection technologies, lidar provides high‑resolution 3D perception of the roadway, ensuring consistent performance in rain, snow, fog, and nighttime environments. BlueCity’s deep‑learning engine instantly processes lidar point‑cloud data for accurate classification, trajectory tracking, and safety‑risk identification without external data sources or manual field collection.

With non‑invasive mounting, minimal maintenance requirements, and 24/7 cloud‑enabled analytics, the Econolite‑Ouster lidar solution helps agencies build smarter, safer, and optimized roadways for next‑generation mobility strategies.

Smart City Operations, Planning, and Safety

Transportation agencies and cities are rapidly shifting toward sensing technologies that deliver higher accuracy, richer data, and long term resilience. Ouster’s digital lidar stands out as a next generation solution built for the demands of modern multimodal networks. The Ouster BlueCity lidar platform creates a dense, three dimensional point cloud model of the roadway, allowing agencies to detect, track, and classify vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and other VRUs with exceptional precision. Lidar analytics platform provides detailed safety and conflict analytics, essential data for cities to improve road safety and achieve Vision Zero goals. Its ability to maintain performance in rain, snow, fog, glare, and nighttime conditions ensures that safety critical detection never degrades due to weather or lighting conditions.

Smart Cities are also looking for detection systems that reduce total cost of ownership. Ouster’s solid state digital lidar has no moving parts, virtually eliminating maintenance requirements while delivering long operational life and detection performance. Its non invasive installation makes deployment faster and more cost efficient, reducing lane closures, labor requirements, and disruption to traffic operations.
