Abstract: ABSTRACT LOW-COST MULTI-LIDAR SYSTEM FOR SYNCHRONIZED LATERAL AND LONGITUDINAL VEHICLE GAP SENSING The invention discloses a low-cost, Arduino-based multi-LiDAR sensing system for synchronized measurement of lateral and longitudinal clearance between vehicles in mixed-traffic environments. The system comprises an Arduino Mega microcontroller interfaced with multiple short-range lateral LiDAR sensors and long-range forward-facing LiDAR sensors, together with a real-time clock (RTC) module for timestamp synchronization and a DC–DC boost converter for stable field power supply (Figs. 1 and 4). A synchronized acquisition and logging workflow enables real-time streaming and storage of clearance measurements for analysis of overtaking and following behaviors (Fig. 3). The platform provides a compact, replicable, and cost-effective alternative to commercial clearance measurement instruments, supporting field deployment on standard vehicles for traffic interaction studies.
