Vantage Velocity, Iteris’ Bluetooth-based travel time system, employs sensors installed at defined segments along the road to capture the identity of passing Bluetooth-enabled devices. Utilising advanced algorithms, the host software analyses the matches between sensors to create accurate real-time speed and travel time data on freeways and arterial roadways.

The enhancements in Vantage Velocity 2.0 provide public agencies with the flexibility to meet their traffic management needs by enabling them to create their own user-definable congestion maps. Improved reporting allows operators to obtain a complete view of real-time traffic and origin-destination data while understanding demand trends over periods of several days. The new field unit data viewer allows users to begin monitoring incoming Bluetooth matches directly from the installation site, which provides instant validation of the installation performance.

“These enhancements to our Vantage Velocity product are a result of the market’s growing demand for real-time traffic information,” said Todd Kreter, senior vice president of development and operations for Iteris’ Roadway Sensors segment. “The upgrade will provide our customers with the ability to monitor road conditions and respond faster to various traffic situations.”

    Following encouraging results from an initial small-scale trial of an emergency vehicle priority system in Queensland, Australia, the scheme is now being extended. In an emergency every second counts. Nowhere is this more graphically illustrated than by the survivability statistics for the time to cardiopulmonary resuscitation of pre-hospital cardiac arrest: at four minutes the survival rate is 22% but by 14 minutes the survival has dropped to 5% - as can be seen from the graph below. There is a similar tre
