Why Choose Elovate?

Scanning LiDAR and Tracking Radar Comparison

Enhancing Road Safety with Elovate’s Advanced Technology

At Elovate, fair and precise enforcement is our top priority. Whether for speed or red light enforcement in urban or rural areas, our advanced technologies meet your needs.

Scanning LiDAR

Elovate’s Scanning LiDAR technology uses advanced laser-based detection to accurately track vehicle speed and movement, making it ideal for complex and multi-lane traffic enforcement.

How It Works
Advantages
Best Use Cases

Uses laser pulses to scan the environment and create a 3D point cloud representation.

Measures the time it takes for the laser to return from the target, allowing for high precision tracking.

Differentiates between vehicles based on shape, position, and lane.

High accuracy and precision – Pinpoints vehicle speed and position with centimeter-level accuracy.

Multi-lane differentiation – Identifies and tracks vehicles in specific lanes accurately.

Narrow angular resolution allows to differentiate between vehicles travelling close together and placing overlay on target vehicles in photos defensible in court.

Detailed vehicle classification – Can distinguish between cars, trucks, and more.

Enforcement in dense traffic and high-speed areas

Multi-lane highways requiring precise vehicle tracking and classification.

Urban areas with heavy congestion, where differentiating vehicles is necessary.

Highway work zone enforcement

Tracking Radar

Elovate's Tracking Radar delivers continuous vehicle monitoring and real-time speed detection, ensuring reliable enforcement even in severe weather and challenging environments.

How It Works
Advantages
Best Use Cases

Uses radio waves to detect and track moving vehicles.

Continuously measures speed and distance by analyzing the Doppler effect (frequency shift of the returning signal).

Works effectively in all weather conditions, including rain, fog, and snow.

Reliable in all weather – Tracking radar signals are unaffected by fog, heavy rain, or dust.

Long-range detection – Can track vehicles from several hundred feet away.

Highly Resistant to Jamming & Interference – Difficult to disrupt, ensuring reliable and consistent speed enforcement.

Cost-effective – Typically more affordable than LiDAR systems.

Red-light & intersection enforcement

School zones and 1-2 lane roadways

All-weather conditions where visibility may be an issue.

Enforcement programs requiring long-range detection.
