Iteris has been awarded a US$934,000 contract for design services by Alameda-Contra Costa Transit (AC Transit) for a corridor travel time improvement project. The project includes the implementation of transit signal priority (TSP), bus stop improvements, real-time passenger information system, and deployment of an adaptive signal control technology system.


This contract continues 73 Iteris’ involvement on 274 AC Transit’s popular Line 97, which spans 12.5 miles along a number of major corridors in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The design phase of the project is under way with deployment anticipated in 2018. Transit signal priority helps to reduce delay and improve schedule reliability for transit operations. Currently the service time for this route is 134 minutes. Once the project improvements are fully deployed, a roundtrip travel time is expected to be reduced by as much as 15 per cent.

The first is a new video-based bicycle detection system, SmartCycle, which the company says has the unique capability of distinguishing bicycles from other vehicles on the road in any lane. This process provides a special output that is sent to the traffic controller to extend the green time when bicycles are detected, allowing them to safely cross the intersection before the light changes. “Cycling is a way of life in Amsterd
