Innoviz Technologies, Cron AI, and D2 Traffic Technologies Collaborate to Accelerate LiDAR Adoption for Intelligent Intersections Across North America

• Installations throughout Intersections in the City of Atlanta, Georgia are expected in coming weeks
• Solution demonstration at ITS World Congress, August 25-29, 2025, Booths 604 & 606

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ) ("Innoviz"), Cron AI, and D2 Traffic Technologies today announced their collaboration, addressing the most pressing barriers to LiDAR deployment in intelligent transport systems (ITS), perimeter security, and infrastructure intelligence by combining their complementary technologies.

The collaboration unites InnovizSmart — Innoviz's rugged, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor, senseEDGE - Cron AI's edge-native 3D perception platform, and D2 Traffic Technologies' deep expertise in deployment and integration with local municipalities. The result: a set of interoperable components designed to work seamlessly together to solve three long-standing hurdles in LiDAR adoption: unreliable perception, fragmented hardware/software stacks, and the lack of field-ready deployment tools.

Proven Performance on the Field

InnovizSMART returns 5.76 million points-per-second with a single reflection and has the capability to output two reflections effectively doubling its point rate. When combined with its 450-meter range capability, it enables long-distance vehicle and Vulnerable Road User (VRU) detection capability that is significantly higher than other sensors. When fused with Cron AI's SenseEdge software, raw LiDAR data is processed entirely at the edge, generating real-time, privacy-conscious insights without reliance on the cloud.

From Raw Data to Actionable Intelligence

D2 Traffic Technologies plays a critical role in bringing the perception stack to life on the ground — ensuring smooth integration into existing ITS and infrastructure networks and delivering turnkey deployments for agencies and operators.

BlueBand, a key partner in the ecosystem, leverages the high-fidelity fused perception data from the LiDAR and Cron's senseEDGE to build advanced analytics and dashboards through its Integrator AI platform — enabling use cases like VRU safety, wrong-way driving detection, and real-time traffic flow monitoring.

"The value we deliver starts with unmatched data fidelity," said Kevin Yorke, CEO of BlueBand. "From LIDAR to senseEDGE, we provide the gold standard data DOTs rely on — and we transform it into real-time intelligence and actionable visualizations and decision-ready insights that empower agencies to act with confidence."

Strategic Market Timing

The deployment comes at a pivotal time, with the global intelligent transportation system (ITS) market expected to reach USD 73.76 billion by 2034 (6.64% CAGR), with North America alone accounting for USD 16.67 billion in 2024 and projected to grow at 6.65% annually over the next decade.^[1]

By combining InnovizSMART's outstanding 3D performance, Cron AI's proven perception software, and D2's hands-on infrastructure integration, this suite offers a reliable, scalable, and ROI-driven pathway to LiDAR adoption in ITS, rail, security, and smart city deployments.

Intersections in Atlanta and Live Demonstration at ITS World Congress 2025

The latest generation of the D2 VIA solution is already in motion, with installation planned at three key intersections in Atlanta in coming weeks.

Innoviz Technologies Ltd., Cron AI, and D2 Traffic Technologies will jointly showcase this solution at the ITS World Congress in Atlanta, booths #604 and #606 between August 24-29.
