What is the minimum score required in the Commission-administered written
examination for LIDAR operator certification? - answerseventy (70) percent is required
in the Commission-administered written examination for LIDAR operator certification.
What is the minimum duration of the LIDAR Operator Re-Certification Training course
for law enforcement officers? - answer4 hours for the LIDAR Operator Re-Certification
Training course.
What is the maximum duration allowed for the LIDAR Operator Re-Certification Training
course? - answerone (1) week in duration for law enforcement officers.
What level of competence must the trainee demonstrate in operating the LIDAR
instrument for certification? - answer100% competence in setup, accuracy testing, and
operation of the LIDAR instrument(s) according to specified criteria on a standardized
performance evaluation form.
, What attendance requirement must the trainee meet during the instructional hours? -
answer100% of the minimum instructional hours.
What is the minimum passing score required in the Commission-administered written
examination for recertification? - answerseventy-five (75) percent is required to pass the
Commission-administered written examination.
When is it permissible for the trainee to use the LIDAR instrument? - answerThe trainee
is only allowed to use the LIDAR instrument once the certificate for the commission is in
hand
What requirement must a LIDAR speed-measuring device meet to be approved for use
in North Carolina? - answerThe LIDAR speed-measuring device must be listed on the
IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police) Consumer Products List for
approval in North Carolina.
What form of energy do LIDAR instruments use to measure a target vehicle's speed? -
answerlaser, an electromagnetic energy, to measure a target vehicle's speed
What does the acronym "Laser" stand for? - answerLight Amplification by Stimulated
Emission of Radiation.
What does the acronym "LIDAR" stand for? - answerLight, Detection, and Ranging.
How is laser energy generated in its simplest form? - answerLaser energy is generated
by sandwiching a piece of active material, known as the lasing medium, between two
mirrors to form an optical resonator.
What happens to the atoms of the lasing medium in the process of generating laser
energy? - answerExternal energy excites the atoms of the lasing medium, causing them
to enter an excited state and store energy.
How is stored energy released as light energy in the process of generating laser
energy? - answerThe excited atoms release their stored energy as light energy when
stimulated by another light source, resulting in an amplification of the incoming light.
What type of laser is commonly used in Traffic LIDAR devices? - answersemi-conductor
type laser.
What method does LIDAR use for taking measurements to determine a target vehicle's
speed? - answerthe time-of-flight method for measuring a target vehicle's speed
What occurs when the trigger of a LIDAR device is pulled? - answerWhen the trigger is
activated, the LIDAR device transmits multiple laser light pulses per second.
