This Doppler LiDAR system measures and visualises wind currents. Thanks to their coating and the materials used, these lightweight and reliable devices can be placed outdoors or mounted on an electric vehicle for extended periods of time. They are used to forecast weather events and wind energy yields as well as to safeguard air traffic. The data obtained can be stored on a cloud server and then edited and shared. Aesthetically, the small device is designed to integrate well into public spaces.
Statement by the Jury
