RSS73 Iteris has introduced Abacus 2.0, its next generation traffic incident detection and data collection product that provides traffic engineers and departments of transportation a software-based ‘force multiplier’ that leverages existing camera systems to collect real-time traffic data, rapidly identify incidents, and gain enhanced traffic flow information in a ready-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) format.

“The enhancements made to Abacus 2.0 are a logical extension of a product that effectively enables domestic and international agencies to leverage their current surveillance cameras and turn them into real-time data collection and incident detection systems,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “We believe this leverage can translate into cost savings for these agencies, which we expect will be a key driver of the product’s demand.”

    Electrification of the automobile is not limited to the electric vehicles (EVs). As a new report from Frost & Sullivan points out, conventional cars of today are partly electric in their own way, with most systems in the vehicle having electrical and electronic connections for better functionality. Certain high-end vehicles possess more than 90 electronic control units (ECUs) to control the various modules within the car, making the car both sophisticated and complicated. However, added functions such as el
