Ouster BlueCity Selected for Major Traffic Signal Management and Road Safety Deployments Across 30+ Intersections in and around Atlanta, Georgia

• Ouster BlueCity to be deployed in an additional 30+ intersections in Atlanta and surrounding areas, including around the downtown Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
• The system will integrate directly into GDOT’s traffic controller to support traffic signal management and vulnerable road user safety events

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ouster, Inc. (Nasdaq: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, today announced that its turnkey traffic management solution, Ouster BlueCity, will be deployed at more than 30 intersections across the greater Atlanta area. This initiative is a collaborative effort with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Ouster BlueCity distributor, Southern Lighting & Traffic Systems, to modernize the region’s traffic infrastructure.

The expansion follows the deployment of Ouster BlueCity at an initial 6 intersections in downtown Atlanta on a high-traffic and pedestrian corridor near the Georgia World Congress Center. As one of the largest and fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States, Atlanta is prioritizing data-driven solutions to manage increasing traffic density and vulnerable road user safety. By integrating Ouster BlueCity, which combines Ouster’s 3D digital lidar sensors with proprietary AI perception software, GDOT aims to:

• Optimize traffic flow: Improve real-time traffic signal actuation to reduce congestion and idle times.
• Improve safety: Detect, classify, and track different types of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists for advanced safety features even in diverse environmental and lighting conditions.
• Provide real-time alerts: Deploy proactive, real-time vehicle-to-everything (V2X) safety alerts for connected vehicles via on-boarding units.

"Ouster’s continued expansion into the greater Atlanta area represents a significant milestone in our mission to scale AI-powered intelligent infrastructure," said Asad Lesani, VP of Smart Infrastructure Products at Ouster. “Ouster BlueCity is bringing Physical AI to smart cities around the world with over 700 contracted site deployments across intersections, mid-blocks and highways. We are excited to continue our partnership with GDOT to improve mobility and safety for all road users attending the FIFA World Cup and beyond.”

The deployment illustrates the continued and accelerating adoption of Ouster BlueCity by agencies and municipalities that include large-scale deployments of 100+ intersections each in Utah, and Chattanooga and Nashville in Tennessee. The Atlanta expansion reinforces Ouster BlueCity's position as a leading solution for transportation departments seeking to transition from legacy inductive loops and 2D sensors to a single, integrated, 3D lidar-powered traffic management solution for actuation, analytics, and alerts.
