Iteris$5.5 Million Contract Award for Initial Design Phase Scheduled
for 2018 Completion; Work Started in March
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2017--
Iteris,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for
transportation and agriculture, today confirmed a $5.5 million initial
contract for its role on the I-405 Improvement project for one of the
busiest freeway segments in the nation, located in Orange County.
Iteris’ initial work on the project involving infrastructure design
started in March and is expected to run through 2018.
The I-405
Improvement project has a total budget of more than $1 billion and
is the largest-scale project undertaken by Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA), in cooperation with Caltrans. Iteris is responsible
for the freeway intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and Express
Lane infrastructure design, temporary ITS infrastructure for use during
construction, development of the project traffic management plan, and
signal design at 42 intersections throughout the corridor. ITS and
Express Lanes elements to be designed include changeable message signs,
CCTV cameras, vehicle detection, ramp metering, and communications
networks for both ITS and the Express Lanes. The widening project will
add a total of four lanes: two general purpose lanes and two tolled
express lanes.
“This iconic project brings together the best practices for project
design and delivery for smarter mobility,” said Ramin Massoumi, general
manager and senior vice president of Transportation Systems at Iteris.
“The ITS design incorporates leading technologies to ensure safety of
motorists, simplified traffic management and improved travel times.”
An OCTA study concluded that by 2040, travel during rush hour through
the regular lanes of this 16-mile stretch of I-405 will take only 29
minutes. The commute can be reduced to 13 minutes if a driver chooses to
take the new Express Lanes. Without the widening project, it would take
two hours and 13 minutes to travel the same stretch in regular lanes and
two hours in the current carpool lanes.
Iteris is leading numerous ITS design and communication infrastructure
projects nationwide, enabling smart mobility and smart communities.
Iteris’ Transportation Systems business unit provides advanced design,
real-time data analytics, and actionable informatics, to safely improve
mobility within communities and ready the roadways for
connected/autonomous vehicles in smart cities.
