Speed-Measuring Device Performance Specifications: Lidar Module

This document contains the lidar speed-measuring device performance specifications developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through a Cooperative Agreement with the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES). This document supersedes the "Model Minimum Performance Specifications for Lidar Speed Measurement Devices" (DOT HS-808 214, February 1995) and all subsequent revisions. By defining minimum performance requirements and verification procedures, this technical document establishes a baseline for acceptable traffic lidar speed-measuring device performance. NHTSA believes these performance specifications and testing protocols will increase the confidence of the public, the courts, and law enforcement officers in the accuracy and reliability of lidar speed-measuring devices.
