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.
