Building on multi-modal transit services provided over the past ten years, 73 Iteris is to provide a multi-jurisdiction bus traffic signal priority system (BSP) for Torrance Transit’s Rapid Line in Los Angeles County, California. The US$2.2 million contract includes the design, procurement, deployment, and on-going operation and maintenance of a multi-jurisdiction BSP at 83 signalised intersections.

The BSP system utilises existing on-bus systems that incorporate GPS-based automatic vehicle location equipment, wireless bus-to-intersection communications and advanced intersection traffic controller technologies previously implemented by Iteris under the countywide metro rapid signal priority program.

Work on the contract is expected to begin immediately and deployment of the system is anticipated to be completed within 18 months.

Iteris has provided a proven solution throughout Los Angeles County and we look forward to continued success with their expanded solution.”
