Aeva announced CityOS, an AI-powered Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) platform for real-time traffic intelligence.
CityOS represents a fundamental shift in how cities perceive and manage mobility by combining automotive-grade 4D LiDAR sensors with edge AI processing and market-leading perception and analytics software in collaboration with industry leaders including NVIDIA. It transforms static infrastructure into intelligent, continuously aware systems capable of understanding not just where objects are but how they move and interact.
With CityOS, transportation agencies can now deploy intelligent infrastructure that delivers continuous, high-resolution perception of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users—enabling safer streets, smarter signal timing, and data-driven urban planning.
"As cities confront rising congestion, Vision Zero goals, and increasing multimodal complexity, the need for precise, real-time infrastructure intelligence has never been greater," said Eric Gannaway, Director of Business Development for ITS at Aeva. "By combining 4D LiDAR sensors with edge AI, CityOS enables cities to understand movement with precision, detect and remove risk before accidents occur, and optimize traffic flow in real time."
From Passive Sensors to Comprehensive Intelligent Transportation Systems
Traditional intelligent transportation systems rely on cameras, radar, or inductive loop sensors that depend on ambient lighting, provide limited spatial detail, or detect only an object's presence within fixed zones. CityOS introduces a new intelligent architecture built on Aeva's 4D LiDAR technology, equipping each intersection with Aeva Atlas™ Orion sensors together with perception and analytics for full coverage and comprehensive situational awareness.
Rather than replacing existing infrastructure, CityOS enhances it with high-resolution 4D perception that:
- Operates in all lighting conditions: including direct sun glare and pitch darkness.
- Measures instant velocity directly: like radar, but with dramatically higher camera-like resolution.
- Provides full intersection coverage: beyond the stop-bar detection zones of inductive loops.
- Enables precise object classification and trajectory tracking: not just presence detection.
- Preserves privacy by design: without reliance on cameras that capture personally identifiable information.
- Future-proofs intersections: by providing valuable insights for V2X communication platforms.
Real-Time Intelligence at the Edge
CityOS performs local edge processing of 4D LiDAR data using the NVIDIA AGX Orin platform, delivering low-latency AI inference without dependence on cloud connectivity. AI-powered perception software continuously detects and classifies road users, while advanced analytics software powers dashboards, alerts, and reporting tools for traffic engineers and operators. The result is a scalable intelligence layer that turns raw perception data into actionable operational insight.
CityOS enables applications including:
- Vulnerable road user safety analytics
- Wrong-way driving detection
- Real-time traffic flow monitoring
- Near-miss and conflict analysis
- Intersection performance optimization
- Long-term mobility and infrastructure planning
- A scalable platform for the future of smart cities
CityOS is available today for deployment across urban corridors, intersections, and transportation networks worldwide. For more information about CityOS, visit aeva.com/cityos.
