Iteris enhances SmartCycle cycle detection

Iteris has released a third generation SmartCycle cycle detection and differentiation algorithm for its Vantage video detection platform. SmartCycle provides the unique capability of distinguishing cycles from other vehicles across all lanes of traffic. When a cycle is detected at an intersection, the system extends the green light for that phase, ensuring the cyclist is able to safely cross the intersection.

73 Iteris has released a third generation SmartCycle cycle detection and differentiation algorithm for its Vantage video detection platform.

SmartCycle provides the unique capability of distinguishing cycles from other vehicles across all lanes of traffic. When a cycle is detected at an intersection, the system extends the green light for that phase, ensuring the cyclist is able to safely cross the intersection.

This new generation enhances the accuracy and capabilities of the system to detect and differentiate cycles in unique situations such as bike boxes, lane splitting and other real-world and innovative configurations that are becoming more popular throughout the country. In addition to a more accurate and flexible detection algorithm, the system also provides enhancements in handling multiple approaching bicycles and improved bike counting accuracy.

“SmartCycle has been very successful and was the first in the industry to combine both vehicle and bicycle differentiation into a single detection system,” said Todd Kreter, senior vice president and general manager, Roadway Sensors at Iteris. “As we continue to improve and enhance our algorithms, the need for bicycle differentiation should continue to be at the forefront, ensuring proper detection of this growing mode of transportation on the roadways.”

SmartCycle is included in new installations of Iteris' Vantage video vehicle detection technology.
