Intersection Data Analytics Solution Will Give City Engineers 24/7
Insight into Vehicle, Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic
- Key transportation markets continue to adopt cloud-based traffic
data solutions
- City of Gainesville and University of Florida collaboration
provides “launchpad for more long-term, state-wide implementations”
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 6, 2018--
Iteris,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for
transportation and agriculture, today announced that the City of
Gainesville, in conjunction with the University of Florida (UF), has
awarded a one-year initial contract to implement VantageLive!®,
its cloud-based intersection data analytics service, across 20 locations.
The agreement, which is built upon the success of Iteris’ Vantage® and SmartSpan®
solutions at 15 intersections in the northern Florida city, is part of a
wider initiative to harness the power of advanced transportation
technology around the UF campus, where students and teachers will be
closely monitoring the software.
With VantageLive!, the City of Gainesville will be able to view
intersection activity through the continuous collection and analysis of
vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian data. And because it is built on
existing Iteris detection infrastructure, higher-cost manual data
collection efforts will be reduced, saving the agency money, while
allowing traffic engineers to quickly make optimization and
prioritization improvements to city roads, sidewalks, bike paths and
other modes of transportation.
“We are pleased to be able to work alongside the City of Gainesville, as
well as the next generation of traffic engineers from the University of
Florida, to harness the power of VantageLive!’s data visualization
capabilities,” said Todd Kreter, senior vice president and general
manager, Roadway Sensors at Iteris. “Florida is a key strategic growth
market for Iteris and projects like this provide the perfect launchpad
for more long-term, state-wide implementations based on the efficacy of
our advanced intersection technology.”
“As part of our partnership of advanced technology initiative, we are
excited to offer Gainesville traffic engineers and UF researchers the
ability to differentiate between multimodal road users via
VantageLive!’s intuitive interface,” said Emmanuel Posadas, traffic
operations manager at the City of Gainesville. “The success and accuracy
of Iteris’ Vantage and SmartSpan solutions at the city’s intersections
give us full confidence that VantageLive! will help to improve safety
for road users in the area, as well as give our engineers vital insights
into multimodal activity.”
Iteris will be showcasing VantageLive!, as well as its SmartCycle®
detection technology, at the upcoming Intertraffic Expo in Amsterdam
from March 20-23, 2018.
