73 Iteris participated in the grand opening of Mcity, the 5594 University of Michigan’s (U-M) 32 acre testing facility for connected and driverless vehicle technologies. Iteris has been a key part of many initiatives intended to advance connected vehicle technologies including developing the 324 US Department of Transportation’s Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture.

At the grand opening, Iteris featured several currently deployed technologies including multi-sensor detection systems, travel time measurement system and a transportation management centre for data analytics, viewing and measuring the performance and safe existence of driverless vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians in the Mcity environment.

The Iteris systems will remain in Mcity for continued collaborative studies of the interdisciplinary group.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of
