Long Range LiDAR Explained

2025-12-03

As technology advances, we at Benewake are continuously exploring how long-range sensing can enhance industrial and infrastructure applications. The long range time of flight sensor has become an essential tool in various fields such as transportation safety, structural monitoring, and industrial automation. By accurately measuring distance over hundreds of meters, it allows precise perception in complex environments. Unlike conventional short-range sensors, this technology ensures stability even under challenging lighting or weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor, fixed installations such as bridges, rail systems, and port facilities.

 

Understanding How Long Range LiDAR Works

The long range time of flight sensor measures the distance between the sensor and an object by calculating the time it takes for a light pulse to travel to the target and back. This process, known as the time-of-flight principle, enables high accuracy and fast response rates. At Benewake, we have refined this technology into compact, reliable systems that maintain excellent performance even at distances of up to several hundred meters. For instance, in railway collision prevention and slope monitoring, long-range LiDAR enables real-time detection of obstacles and surface changes, reducing safety risks and improving operational reliability.

 

Applications in Industrial and Infrastructure Scenarios

Our long range time of flight sensor is designed for diverse, fixed applications that require dependable and continuous detection. From bridge anti-collision systems to berth guidance in ports, our LiDAR solutions provide steady data for automation and safety management. In mining areas and industrial trucks, long-range sensing allows operators to maintain situational awareness in complex environments, supporting semi-autonomous functions without relying on passenger vehicle automation. Each deployment reflects our commitment to precision, durability, and adaptability—values that define Benewake’s engineering approach.
