We have a technology that combines Lidar with ultrasonic sensors to inspect the tire, is such a technical approach allowed?
Our technology combines an existing LiDAR device with low-cost ultrasonic sensors to inspect tires, is the topic limited to devices
that only use LiDAR technology or a technology with combined methods that results to a handled device with comparable cost is allowed?4 votes -
Are there any specific regulations or standards for the tire inspections?

LIDAR phone required?
Must the solution be on a phone that has its own built-in LIDAR unit -- which would limit it to a pretty small number of phone models -- or could it be a small LIDAR unit which could plug into/lock onto multiple existing phones for use, broadening the application at the cost of having a low-cost add-on hardware component?

How can a handheld LiDAR be used to acquire data for multiple tires of freight trucks?
We have an idea how a handheld LiDAR can be used to acquire data for multiple tires of a freight truck.

Please specify requirements for LiDAR eye safety such as wavelength and peak/average laser power.
The idea is to use four COTS time-of-flight cameras in the LiDAR receiver, combine their 3D output, and process the data using AI algorithms. One COTS camera cannot provide sufficient spatial resolution for a tire scanner looking at vehicle wheels.

Who are the intended end-users for a Lidar-based tire inspection technology
knowing the user base who are testing the tires and Lidar technology is essential to writing a proposal that meets their end goals and objectives, and fully understanding and incorporating the requirements of any regulatory framework around an application that meets their needs is absolutely necessary to its success
