Lidar traffic enforcement

Lidar has a wide range of applications; one use is in traffic enforcement and in particular speed limit enforcement, where it has become increasingly common since the 1990s with the release of the Laser Technology Inc. 20-20. Rather than directly replacing radar, lidar supplements it with the benefits of greater precision in specific vehicular targeting in certain situations. Modern lidar-based systems can automate speed detection, vehicle identification, and evidentiary documentation, though driver identification is not as commonly automated.
