These devices are installed on few intersections around town. The company provides 3d detection and ranging and boasts it can reduce travel time by %25 percent. As far as this editor can tell it's basically traffic surveying without the big trailer or the traffic survey

Davis has several D-tec products installed they provides nifty tools for gathering data / recognizing stuff coming to the intersection. Since it broadcasts / receives IR light, you can't see it but I can notice bikes and cars in more situations. It apparently also integrates into current traffic infrastructure and will function as the detectors, apparently reducing red light duration when there are no cars and it is your turn.

Motorcyclists and Bicyclists everywhere rejoice in better detection at lights

Looks like it could be used to help optimize travel, and also provide data in the case of accidents like the one at 5th and Poleline that wasn't watched despite it being one of the 5 camera intersections
