How Laser (Lidar) Works
Laser speed detection is actually LIDAR
(Light Detection and Ranging). LIDAR guns
project a beam of invisible infrared light.
The signal is a series of very short infrared
light energy pulses, which move, in a
straight line, reflecting off your car and
returning to the gun. LIDAR uses these light
pulses to measure the distance to a vehicle.
Speed is then calculated by measuring how
quickly these pulses are reflected given the
known speed of light.
LIDAR (or laser) is a newer technology
and is not as widespread as conventional
radar, therefore, you may not encounter
laser on a daily basis. And unlike radar
detection, laser detection is not prone to
false alarms. Because LIDAR transmits a
much narrower beam than does radar, it is
much more accurate in its ability to
distinguish between targets and is also
more difficult to detect. AS A RESULT,
EVEN THE BRIEFEST LASER ALERT
SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
There are limitations to LIDAR
equipment. LIDAR is much more sensitive
to weather conditions than RADAR, and a
LIDAR gun’s range will be decreased by
anything affecting visibility such as rain, fog,
or smoke. A LIDAR gun cannot operate
through glass and it must be stationary in
order to get an accurate reading.
Because LIDAR must have a clear line
of sight and is subject to cosine error (an
inaccuracy, which increases as the angle
between the gun and the vehicle, increases)
police typically use LIDAR equipment
parallel to the road or from an overpass.
LIDAR can be used day or night.
How Laser Works How TSR Works
How TSR Works
The 8500ci Plus includes a new boost in
anti-falsing software to eliminate
excessive alerts from erroneous X- and K-
band sources. One example is traffic-flow
monitoring systems.
These systems, which are becoming
more widely used in cities across the U.S.,
generate K-band signals to measure the
flow of traffic on a given road.
Unfortunately, most detectors see this as a
real threat and will alert you to it
unnecessarily. Our new proprietary
Traffic-Signal Ranking (TSR) software
intelligently sorts, ranks, and rejects these
types of false alarms automatically. The
result is ultimate protection without
excessive false alarms.
Since not all markets have this type of
traffic-flow monitoring system, your
detector has been pre-set with TSR turned
off. For details
on how to
activate TSR, see
the Preferences
section. These
sensors are fully
self-contained
and roadside-
mounted.
