Smart Cities Vlaanderen aims to be an innovative network to connect cities, companies and Universities. It works to raise awareness about the added value of smart cities and bring innovative ideas together.
Smart cities provide an opportunity to harness technology to address issues of urbanisation. Smart mobility looks at integrated, automated and personalised travel on demand.
LiDAR plays an important role in smart city applications. These include measuring and monitoring areas for pedestrian safety, vehicle traffic and congestion. LiDAR is also an integral sensor with autonomous cars, shuttles, buses, robotaxis and commercial vehicles.
