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.”

    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in
