Quanergy Solutions Inc., a provider of 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) security solutions, was chosen by a large municipality in California to bolster pedestrian safety in the city’s underground railways where fatality risks and costly liability issues were of growing concern.
The California city’s management had been grappling with a substantial number of missed alarms within its underground railroad system due to the intricate terrain and challenging lighting conditions. The absence of alarms when individuals trespassed onto train tracks posed a significant liability issue, endangering lives and increasing operating expenses. Traditional video surveillance systems had further proven ineffective in these environments due to inconsistent lighting and various obstructions that made it difficult to maintain a consistent field of view.
