Enrich your portfolio with LiDAR and AI for Traffic Detection and Actuation
SIMPL is a comprehensive LiDAR-based solution that detects all road users to ensure a safer and more efficient traffic flow through the intersection.
A Comprehensive ITS Solution
Seyond's Intersection Management Platform consists of three components: LiDAR sensors, perception software, and traffic actuation software. Working together, these components enable unparalleled object detection precision of all road users and optimized traffic actuation.
LiDAR Sensors
Typically, two FALCON LiDAR sensors are installed at opposite corners of the intersection, covering the entire intersection and offering a detection range of up to 100 meters (330 feet) behind each stop-bar. They work effectively in all weather and lighting conditions while ensuring privacy.
Seyond's FALCON LiDAR has passed all NEMA TS 2-2021 tests.
Traffic Perception Software
Seyond's traffic perception software, powered by a powerful and durable edge processor, delivers reliable and accurate fusion of point cloud data from multiple LiDAR sensors into a comprehensive view. It classifies all road users at the intersection, tracking their trajectories and providing detailed data on counts, speed, size, and safety. Our system performs flawlessly in all weather and lighting conditions, ensuring consistent and accurate information to optimize traffic flow and enhance safety.
Actuation Software
Our actuation software offers intuitive tools to create and modify virtual loops effortlessly, allowing users to add or edit loops on the fly without the need for roadwork. It provides simple integration with traffic light controllers, enabling seamless coordination and control of traffic signals based on real-time data. Additionally, the software includes failsafe and backup capabilities, ensuring reliable and continuous operation even in unexpected situations. This flexibility and reliability make it ideal for efficient traffic management.
Most precise. Most accurate. Most convenient.
NEMA Certified
NEMA TS 2-2021 certified FALCON LiDAR sensors ensure reliable and industry-standard performance, providing confidence in safety and durability for all-weather and all-lighting conditions. LiDAR offers the most precise environmental representation, ensuring optimal detection and tracking.
A turn-key ITS solution
Our SIMPL solution kit includes high-resolution long-range LiDAR sensors, a powerful and durable edge processor, and Seyond's perception and actuation software. Our SIMPL system boasts a proven 99% accuracy rate. Additionally, we offer an optional module for in-depth data and analytics.
Easy to install and maintain
SIMPL is a non-intrusive, easy-to-install technology that requires less maintenance than traditional traffic control equipment. We provide all the tools and support needed for installation.
Multimodal & sharable data
SIMPL detects all road users, including vulnerable and non-vulnerable groups. The data can be shared with traffic light controllers and other connected devices or platforms for smart city applications.
Reliable in adverse weather and lighting
Unlike cameras that need good weather and external lighting, LiDAR uses its own light source, making it effective even in rain, fog, and snow.
Privacy safe
LiDAR technology uses laser pulses to create a detailed point cloud of the intersection. It doesn't capture or use biometric data or personal information like facial features and license plates.
Enhanced safety
SIMPL detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, optimizing safety by capturing data on potential collisions, especially in interactions between vulnerable and non-vulnerable road users.
Optimized traffic flow
Integrated into traffic light controllers, our solution enables adaptive signal timing, which reduces congestion, improves traffic flow, enhances intersection safety, and decreases carbon emissions.
Product Core Features
SIMPL brings a suite of core features that modernize the way cities monitor and manage intersections:
- Vehicle Stop Bar Detection
- Vehicle Advanced Detection (100 m after stop bar)

What’s involved in installing SIMPL at an intersection?
Installing SIMPL is straightforward. The system requires mounting two LiDAR sensors on existing infrastructure such as poles or traffic light arms. Our team provides detailed guidelines for positioning and alignment to ensure maximum coverage. The edge processor, which powers the software, is installed directly at the intersection and easily connects to existing power and communication systems.
How does SIMPL integrate with existing traffic management systems?
SIMPL is designed to seamlessly integrate with standard traffic management systems. It can connect to controllers and traffic signal systems using open communication protocols, ensuring compatibility with both legacy and modern ITS infrastructure. Our software also supports various output formats for easy data exchange.
How accurate is SIMPL in detecting road users?
SIMPL’s LiDAR-based system offers unmatched accuracy- 99% in detecting vehicle at the stop bar and over 92% in detecting pedestrians at high-density crosswalk. It detects and classifies all road users – vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists – up to 100 meters beyond the stop bar, even in difficult conditions like rain, fog, or poor lighting. With real-time data processing, SIMPL provides precise information on counts, speed, size, and safety of all road users.
What maintenance is required for SIMPL?
SIMPL is designed for minimal maintenance. The LiDAR sensors are weather-resistant and perform well in harsh conditions without requiring frequent recalibration. Regular checks can be conducted remotely via the software, and any necessary cleaning or adjustments are easy to perform on-site.
Can SIMPL handle extreme weather conditions?
Yes, SIMPL is built to perform reliably in all weather and lighting conditions. Whether it’s bright sunlight, heavy rain, fog, or complete darkness, our LiDAR sensors provide consistent, accurate data, ensuring that traffic detection remains precise no matter the environment.
What is the typical lifespan of SIMPL hardware components?
The hardware components of SIMPL, including the LiDAR sensors and edge processor, are designed to last between 5 and 7 years under normal operating conditions. The equipment is durable, resistant to weather, and built for long-term use with minimal maintenance. An extended warrantee can be purchased for extra peace of mind.
What are the power requirements for SIMPL?
SIMPL operates using standard power supply options typically available at intersections. The LiDAR sensors consume 35W of power and require an input voltage of 9 to 34 V DC (24V recommended). The edge processor is energy-efficient, and the sensors require minimal power to function. In many cases, it can be powered through existing infrastructure without needing additional power installations. For more information, see our product datasheet.
What support is available if there’s a problem with the system?
We provide comprehensive support for installation, integration, and ongoing maintenance. Our team is available for troubleshooting, and we offer remote diagnostics to quickly identify and resolve any issues. Additionally, regular software updates ensure the system remains optimized and secure.
IS SIMPL NEMA TS2 Certified?
Yes. Our NEMA TS 2-2021 certified FALCON LiDAR sensors ensure reliable and industry-standard performance, providing confidence in safety and durability for all-weather and all-lighting conditions.
