AEVA's CityOS Turns Traffic Smart With AI and LiDAR Tech
Aeva Technologies AEVA has introduced CityOS, an AI-powered traffic platform designed to deliver real-time insights. Built on NVIDIA’s NVDA AGX Orin, the system aims to make intersections and roadways smarter, improving safety, traffic flow and planning. By turning physical infrastructure into intelligent systems, CityOS creates a scalable solution for modern mobility, with NVIDIA’s edge computing playing a key role in enabling real-time decision-making.
At its core, CityOS shifts infrastructure from static to continuously aware by combining 4D LiDAR sensors with edge-based AI processing and integrated software. This setup helps the system understand both the position and movement of objects. It uses AEVAAEVA-- Atlas Orion sensors at intersections, with local processing powered by NVIDIA AGX OrinNVDA--. This NVIDIA-based system allows continuous, high-resolution monitoring of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, creating a digital layer over real-world traffic.
CityOS also improves on traditional systems like cameras and radar, which can be limited by lighting or fixed detection zones. In contrast, AEVA’s solution works in all lighting conditions, directly measures speed, and covers entire intersections. With NVIDIA-enabled edge processing delivering fast analytics, cities can support real-time monitoring, detect wrong-way driving, analyze near-misses, and enhance long-term planning.
While AEVA is building a strong position in smart traffic systems, it is not alone in targeting this growing market. Several other companies are also developing technologies to support smarter and safer urban infrastructure.
Beyond AEVA: Other Players in Smart Infrastructure
Innoviz Technologies INVZ is expanding its role in smart infrastructure by bringing automotive-grade LiDAR into city and industrial environments. The company’s InnovizSMART Long-Range LiDAR supports advanced traffic management and security systems with precise 3D detection reaching up to 400 meters, even in challenging conditions. Innoviz Technologies is also seeing strong momentum in perimeter security testing, where its solutions have demonstrated clear performance advantages over leading conventional systems. With reliable accuracy and straightforward deployment, Innoviz Technologies is positioning itself as a key enabler of safer, smarter and more efficient urban infrastructure.
Ouster OUST is also becoming an important force in smart infrastructure, using its AI-powered BlueCity platform to help cities manage traffic more safely and efficiently. The company’s LiDAR-based system combines real-time 3D detection with NVIDIANVDA-- edge computing, enabling smarter signal timing and reducing congestion across busy intersections. Ouster’s technology is now expanding rapidly, with Utah set to deploy BlueCity at more than 100 intersections after strong results from earlier installations. With its growing network of smart traffic systems, Ouster is positioning itself as a key player in next-generation urban mobility.
