Are you ready to redefine what is possible on highway mainlines and ramps? Join Ouster and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for a deep dive into the next generation of Intelligent Transportation Systems powered by Physical AI. Learn about the distinct advantages of digital lidar and discover how transportation agencies are leveraging all-weather, all-light 3D spatial detection to solve complex highway safety and operational challenges. Applications span from mainline traffic monitoring and adaptive ramp metering to automated, real-time detection of critical incidents, such as wrong-way driving and stopped vehicles. Guest presenters from NJDOT will share insights from their 42-site digital lidar deployment surrounding the MetLife Stadium complex, implemented in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Hear firsthand how continuous 3D monitoring and automated alerts empowered operators to manage bottlenecks and maintain safety during major event days and explore how these operational gains will deliver long-term benefits across the region.

What You’ll Learn:

• Lidar Technology 101: A foundational overview of lidar-powered Physical AI and 3D digital traffic twins.
• Highway & Ramp Applications: How 3D spatial detection powers mainline monitoring, dynamic ramp metering, and real-time alerts.
• NJDOT Project Spotlight: Real-world operational takeaways from deploying 3D lidar
• Live Q&A: Direct discussion with technical and agency leaders.

Speakers:

• Dr. Asad Lesani, Global VP of ITS, Ouster
• John Longworth, Director, Mobility Engineering and Operations, NJ Department of Transportation
• Melissa Erkic, Director ITS, Ouster (Moderator)
