TF03 LiDAR Sensor
Benewake Intelligent Traffic System – BITS with TF03 LiDAR Sensor
Traffic light timing programs aim to develop further adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) to adapt programs to real-time traffic demands and thus reduce traffic congestion in urban areas. An effective ITS providing real-time information for decision-making algorithms is needed by the ASCT.
Benewake launched the BITS, the Benewake Intelligent Traffic System, to provide an effective traffic statistic collecting solution, which can effectively and accurately detect multiple types of traffic statistics, such as vehicle model (profile), vehicle speed, and vehicle height.
Based on Benewake’s single-point LiDAR, TF03, BITS consists of two parts: BITS-2A, collecting traffic statistics with two TF03s; BITS-C, the control board used to process data collected by BITS-2A.
Existing solution introduction — Single point LiDAR
This solution is based on the Benewake single-point ToF LiDAR and consists of three parts: the data acquisition unit, using the Benewake single-point long-range LiDAR, TF03; the main control board, used to collect and process LiDAR information and control output results, control LED display screen (can be omitted); mechanical structure, used to install and fix the entire program.
Benewake’s single point LiDAR solution ——BITS
The two LiDARs are installed in the vertical ground direction and the tilt-to-ground (40 °) direction. The tilt LiDAR and the vertical LiDAR can detect the vehicle successively, calculate the trigger time difference between the two, and then calculate the vehicle’s driving speed. In addition, the data measured by the vertical LiDAR can restore the contour information of the vehicle. Finally, a neural network algorithm completes the model recognition.
Installation
Vehicle height information can be directly obtained by vertical LiDAR measurement. Next, the two LiDARs calculate the vehicle speed and the trigger time, which calculates the available vehicle speed. Finally, the neural network algorithm matches and identifies the original data collected by LiDAR.
After completing the recognition test, the main control board directly transmits the test results to the customer’s central control system through the data line. Transmission content includes statistics of vehicle models, vehicle height, vehicle length, vehicle speed, and several vehicle models.

Hyundai acquired Boston Dynamics
In 2021, Hyundai Robotics acquired Boston Dynamics, Inc.
Hyundai Motor Group is actively developing the robotics field as a future growth engine for the 4th industrial revolution. In 2021, they acquired ‘Boston Dynamics, Inc., a US robot company, and developed a ‘Factory Safety Service Robot’ equipped with artificial intelligence-based software.
According to the Hyundai Robotics team, the robotic market is expected to increase as it expands into various fields. Recently, mobility-specialized companies are increasing their investment to link technology with artificial intelligence and manufacturing fields. For example, under the goal of ‘Progress for Humanity.
Hyundai and Kia Motors recognized this as a ‘customer-oriented manufacturing platform implemented with technology’ and unveiled ‘E-FOREST,’ a smart factory brand. E-FOREST is ‘Auto-FLEX,’ meaning flexible and advanced assembly, logistics, and inspection automation; ‘Intelligent,’ meaning the establishment of an AI-based autonomous control system; It aims for three values, ‘Humanity,’ and plans to open up the infinite possibilities of future mobility by organically connecting people, nature, and technology.
The most significant value of Hyundai Motor Group is ‘people-oriented.’ This is why Hyundai Motor Group puts excellent effort into robot R&D. This is because the more precisely the robot evolves, the safer and more convenient life can be. The robotics field is one of the five new businesses that are the future growth engine of Hyundai Motor Group. The three robot fields – wearable robots, service robots, and micro-mobility – are the answer to the age of the 4th industrial revolution and an aging society, where advanced technologies and concerns about technological alienation coexist.

FedEx Delivery Robot
Roxo operates on sidewalks, bike lanes and roadsides, and is designed to be used in a three-to-five mile radius of a retailer’s location. We specifically designed Roxo for reliable, autonomous last-mile delivery that can deliver to a customer’s door, including climbing the curb, traveling up the sidewalk, and climbing deep terrace steps.
Further testing is being planned, targeting customer use cases like auto parts, pizza delivery, home improvement, general merchandise, and groceries.
The Effect of Voltage on the Performance of Stepper Motors
Under different voltages, the performance of stepper motors will be different. Generally, the higher the voltage, the better the speed and torque performance of the stepper motor. However, increasing the voltage also causes an increase in current, which may overheat the motor and possibly even damage the driver.
The motor’s low-speed vibration will be larger when working under high voltage. We recommend that the driving voltage be selected according to the size of the motor base (but may be limited by the driver).
| Motor | Voltage |
|---|---|
| NEMA8—17 | 12-24VDC |
| NEMA23—24 | 24-48VDC |
| NEMA34 | 36-60VDC |
| NEMA42 | 60-100VDC |
To properly drive a stepper motor at different voltages, the following points need to be considered:
Current: The stepper motor has a rated current, the best working current considered in the design. If the current exceeds the rated value, the electric
The machine may overheat and be damaged. At different voltages, the current may vary. To protect the motor, a current limit can be used
driver to control the current.
Driver: An appropriate driver must be used to drive the stepper motor at different voltages properly. The driver should be able to input
The voltage adjusts the output current to maintain a constant current. This can be achieved using a constant current source driver, which automatically adjusts the
output voltage to maintain a constant current.
In summary, stepper motors work at different voltages as follows: A change in voltage causes a change in current, so you need to use an appropriate driver to protect the motor and achieve optimum performance. When designing the system, the rated voltage and current of the motor should be considered, an appropriate driver should be selected, and control strategies should be used. Source
