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.

    With permission from a local road agency, researchers in from the University of Michigan hacked into nearly 100 wirelessly networked traffic lights, highlighting security issues that they say are likely to pervade networked traffic infrastructure around the country. More than 40 states currently use such systems to keep traffic flowing as efficiently as possible, helping to reduce emissions and delays. The team, led by University of Michigan computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, found three major weaknes
