Realtime LiDAR data on 5G network

5Groningen

Mindhash is currently working on a solution to work more efficiently with a LiDAR sensor. Currently, our sensors are able to create data files and store them on a local hard drive. This is not very practical, as it would require one of our employees to travel to the location of the sensor to collect the hard drive. The logical next step is to create a LiDAR installation that works over a cellular network. The goal is to create a datastream that can be accessed and controlled remotely. Additionally, it should be possible to view the data in realtime, meaning it wouldbe possible to see traffic passing the sensor at the current time. Coincidentally, the University of Groningen is currently using their campus as a testing ground for a 5G network. Therefore, this location is appealing for Mindhash to test their mobile LiDAR application. The sensor will be mounted on a post with a 5G module and a battery and placed along a busy intersection.
