FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR) launched a thermal traffic sensor — FLIR ThermiCam V2X — for the emerging vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology market. The sensor will be a vital component in smart city and connected vehicle applications.
The V2X-enabled traffic sensor is designed for urban traffic that will enable vehicles and traffic infrastructure to communicate by sharing data. The entire system will advance safety and efficiency for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.
The V2X technology is an emerging crash avoidance system that warns drivers about potentially dangerous situations based on communication between nearby vehicles and traffic infrastructure. Both the vehicles and the infrastructure will have communication units installed to transmit information in a V2X system.
Also, the ThermiCam connects with existing city traffic systems and thus, city traffic planners can future-proof traffic infrastructure without needing to make major investments in retrofitting technology.
FLIR Systems is a leading maker of sensor systems globally. Its reliable and effective imaging & threat-detection technologies are expected to bolster its revenues in the future. Increased adoption of thermal imaging in a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from military to personal hand-held cameras and Smartphones, continue to fuel growth. Notably, shares of the company yielded 28.6% in the past six months, nearly double the Zacks Investment Research
