Burnaby, BC solves thorny left-turn issue for city buses with LiDAR traffic management system

Burnaby, BC LiDAR Traffic Management System City Buses

The Metrotown SkyTrain Station lacks a left-turn lane at its entrance, creating traffic snarls at the end of 12 bus routes. The LiDAR system designed by Botech Engineering and Consulting activates a left-turn signal when a bus is detected. Sensors are programmed to discern buses from other vehicles in all weather conditions and ambient light levels. City officials believe the system will improve traffic safety and bus arrival times without costly road work.
