Smarter Yard Operations Start With Better Visibility
Managing a busy industrial yard requires more than knowing which trucks are scheduled to arrive. Operators need to understand where vehicles and people are located, how traffic is moving, which areas are occupied, and when potential safety or security incidents occur.
US LiDAR’s yard monitoring system uses LiDAR-based perception to detect and track activity throughout your facility. Our software transforms sensor data into actionable insights, including vehicle counts, movement histories, occupancy information, and configurable alerts.
Whether deployed as a standalone monitoring solution or integrated with existing yard management software, our technology provides the real-time visibility needed to make more informed operational decisions.

APPLICATIONS
Yard Monitoring Applications
Truck, Trailer & Asset Tracking
Know where your vehicles and equipment are located and how they move throughout your yard.
Our LiDAR-based tracking software detects and follows trucks, trailers, and other objects as they move through monitored areas. The system can maintain object tracks within sensor coverage, identify movements between zones, and record events for operational analysis.
When integrated with cameras or existing identification systems, monitoring events can be associated with additional information such as license plates, vehicle color, or asset identifiers.
Queue Monitoring & Traffic Flow
Reduce uncertainty at guard shacks, entry gates, and other high-traffic areas.
Automatically count vehicles waiting in designated queues, monitor changes in queue length, and identify traffic buildup. Configurable alerts can notify personnel when queue lengths or waiting times exceed defined thresholds.
Historical queue data can also help facilities understand traffic patterns and identify opportunities to improve throughput.
Yard Occupancy & Space Availability
Understand how effectively your available yard space is being used.
Monitor the occupancy of parking spaces, trailer staging areas, loading zones, and other designated locations. Real-time occupancy information helps operations teams identify available space, recognize congestion, and understand utilization trends.
Yard Safety & Collision Monitoring
Improve situational awareness in areas where vehicles, equipment, and pedestrians interact.
Our system tracks moving objects and evaluates their positions, directions, and speeds to identify potentially hazardous interactions. Configure monitoring zones around intersections, pedestrian crossings, and high-risk traffic areas.
Collision and near-miss monitoring can generate alerts based on defined proximity and movement conditions, helping teams investigate hazards and improve safety practices.
Perimeter Security & Unauthorized Access
Extend yard monitoring beyond operational visibility to facility security.
LiDAR sensors can monitor fences, restricted zones, and access points to detect movement and potential intrusions. Unlike camera-only systems, LiDAR measures three-dimensional spatial information, providing object location and movement data without relying solely on visible-light imagery.
Optional cameras can provide visual context for security events, allowing personnel to investigate activity more effectively.
Intelligent Alerts & Zone Management
Turn continuous monitoring into actionable notifications.
Create virtual zones throughout your facility and configure alerts based on specific events or conditions. Examples include unauthorized entry, excessive vehicle speed, restricted-zone occupancy, queue thresholds, and potential vehicle-pedestrian conflicts.
Alerts can be tailored to different operational priorities and connected to external systems where supported.
HOW OUR TECHNOLOGY WORKS
LiDAR-First Perception. Camera-Enhanced Intelligence.
Our yard monitoring system uses LiDAR as the primary perception technology, creating a three-dimensional understanding of activity throughout monitored areas.
LiDAR measures object positions, dimensions, and movement. Intelligent software processes this information to track objects, monitor designated zones, and identify events that require attention.
Cameras can be added wherever additional visual context is valuable, including license plate recognition, vehicle color identification, and more detailed object classification.
1. LiDAR Perception
3D object detection, location, tracking, speed estimation, and spatial monitoring.
2. Optional Camera Context
License plates, vehicle appearance, visual verification, and advanced identification.
3. Intelligent Monitoring Software
Object tracking, zone logic, event detection, occupancy analytics, and configurable alerts.
4. Actionable Yard Visibility
Operational dashboards, activity histories, alerts, and integration with external systems.
INTEGRATION WITH YARD MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Enhance Your Yard Management System With Real-Time Visibility
Traditional yard management software helps coordinate appointments, dock assignments, and yard workflows. But effective yard management also depends on knowing what’s actually happening across the facility.
US LiDAR provides the physical-world monitoring layer that can complement your existing Yard Management System (YMS).
Our technology can supply information about vehicle movements, occupancy, queue lengths, entry and exit events, and safety conditions to external systems through supported integrations.
This enables organizations to enhance their existing yard management software without necessarily replacing established scheduling, dispatch, or warehouse management tools.
Monitoring tells you what’s happening. Management systems help you decide what happens next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yard monitoring system?
A yard monitoring system uses sensors and software to observe vehicle, equipment, and pedestrian activity across outdoor industrial facilities. It can provide real-time information about movement, occupancy, traffic flow, safety events, and security conditions.
What is the difference between yard monitoring software and yard management software?
Yard monitoring software detects and reports what is happening within a facility. Yard management software typically coordinates operational activities such as scheduling, gate processing, dock assignments, and vehicle dispatch. US LiDAR focuses on monitoring and can integrate with compatible yard management systems.
Can LiDAR track trucks and trailers?
Yes. LiDAR can detect and track trucks, trailers, and other objects within configured sensor coverage. Tracking individual assets across large areas or associating them with a particular license plate or asset ID may require additional sensors, cameras, or external data.
Can the system detect near misses between vehicles and pedestrians?
Yes. The software can evaluate object movement and proximity to identify interactions that meet configured near-miss conditions. Detection performance depends on sensor coverage, environmental conditions, object visibility, and system configuration.
Does the system require cameras?
No. LiDAR serves as the primary perception sensor. Cameras are optional and can provide additional information such as license plate recognition, vehicle colors, and visual evidence of events.
Which LiDAR manufacturers are supported?
Our solutions can work with a wide range of sensors, including products from Hesai, Seyond, RoboSense, Ouster, and MicroVision. Specific model compatibility and integration requirements are evaluated for each deployment.
Can US LiDAR provide installation?
Yes. US LiDAR can provide hardware, software, technical integration assistance, and installation services when needed.
