73 Iteris, partnering with 7643 HERE, a 183 Nokia company, is to implement performance monitoring using its flagship traffic analytics and performance measurement system, iPeMS, with HERE mapping and traffic data, to provide the 774 Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) with advanced traffic analytics across its tolled network.

Under the three-year contract, Iteris will utilise iPeMS to provide PTC with robust analytic tools and archiving capabilities for real-time and historic traffic information powered by HERE’s probe-based traffic data. iPeMS will enable PTC users to access performance measurement visualisations that include travel time index, congestion contours, speed and anomaly maps, charts, plots and route-based reports.  

The iPeMS software platform is a performance management suite that measures, manages and visualizes transportation networks, providing real-time, actionable information to optimize the flow of the entire network.  With iPeMS, Iteris delivers the next generation of cloud based software as a service (SAAS) solutions that bring the power of big data to performance monitoring, traffic prediction, and hyper-local weather conditions, to the public marketplace.

“As agencies seek data-driven analytics methods for transportation management, PTC can count on iPeMS as an effective tool to not only measure and manage their transportation network, but to also report on the state of the roadway system,” said Tom Blair, senior vice president of Iteris’ iPerform business unit. “As we continue to provide innovative solutions to agencies across the United States, Iteris looks forward to helping public agencies exceed their expectations for roadway system performance measurement and management.”
