As well as automotive safety and automated driving, the automation level of mines and construction sites increases, operational safety and work efficiency have become core concerns for enterprises. Construction machinery such as mining trucks and loaders face potential risks of collisions with obstacles, other equipment, or personnel when operating in complex and dynamic environments. These risks are heightened at night, in foggy conditions, or under poor visibility due to limited vision and large blind spots.
To address these issues, LSlidar has the LS500W1, a 1,550-nm hybrid solid-state lidar with an ultrawide field of view. This lidar provides mining trucks, loaders, and other construction vehicles with enhanced environmental sensing capabilities, improving both operational efficiency and safety. Features include:
- a 120°W × 73°H coverage, allowing it to capture a broader range of surroundings. It can effectively detect and recognize humans, animals, small tires, and fallen objects, significantly reducing blind spots.
- Obstacles detected up to 150m away, allowing autonomous vehicles or drivers to react in time to prevent collisions.
- 480 scanning channels and a point rate of up to 3.7 million points per second. This allows it to quickly generate highly detailed 3D point cloud maps of the surrounding environment, presenting a realistic and accurate three-dimensional view of the surroundings.
- Robust construction for durability in harsh weather like rain, snow, and fog.

This sensor is also suitable for trucks, buses, or trams, providing peripheral detection of objects such as infrastructure, vulnerable road users, and other vehicles in low-speed traffic situations, particularly in urban contexts. Its large size is not suitable for cars.
