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.

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    Timothy Compston finds out if exchanging traffic and road condition data with private app developers makes sense for both drivers and road authorities. Much has been said about the potential benefits for authorities in sharing data with traffic and navigation app developers, and receiving ‘crowdsourced’ information in return – so how is it working in practice?
