Iteris has added customisable ClearData traffic management feeds to its portfolio to help traffic managers get an accurate view of situations on the road.

The company's ClearMobility cloud analytics engine delivers ClearData - produced by aggregating third-party mobility data which includes incident, speed, construction and connected vehicle GPS probes - which can be accessed via subscription-based direct computer data feeds or application programming interfaces (APIs).

Iteris says connected vehicle probes "offer precise data and better reflect consumer vehicle movement".

“The unique combination of powerful software-driven event detection and conflict resolution overseen by human editors provides unparalleled mobility reporting, mapping and advisory information,” said Will Cousins, senior vice president and general manager of applications and cloud solutions at Iteris.

As well as warning of road closures, ClearData can offer congestion monitoring for live event organisers and accurate travel time data to help fleet and logistics operators optimise routes, for example.

The solution "adds powerful new transportation data that expand the software’s capabilities to provide unparalleled levels of real-time and historical visualisations that help users make informed operational traffic management decisions", Iteris says.

    Alerts for natural disasters are ones that most of us would rather do without, writes Adam Hill. But the ITS industry still needs help to deal with more common meteorological issues Google Maps has added SOS alerts to its service. For those of us more used to using the phone app to navigate from a metro station to an unfamiliar restaurant, this may seem extreme. But this is not what Google has in mind. Its SOS messages are for “hurricane forecast cones, earthquake shake-maps and flood forecasts”. That

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
