73 Iteris is promoting 1028 Cisco’s Connected Roadway solution through initiatives between the companies which include a demo at the Smart Cities Innovation Accelerator during this week’s Innovator’s Forum in Las Vegas, US.  

Iteris is to integrate its Vantage Next video detection platform with Cisco’s Kinetic software solution to help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

The edge-processing Internet of Things solution is being deployed with Las Vegas city authorities and will analyse multimodal data from vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians for a number of use cases.

Michael Sherwood, Las Vegas director of information technologies, says: “Iteris’ integration with Cisco’s Connected Roadway solution will produce insights that highlight the advantages video detection and advanced networking can have on a city’s transportation system.”

Iteris says the integration of Cisco hardware and software will allow the company’s Intersection as a Service offering to support advanced capabilities for edge processing as well as larger data sets and connected vehicles applications.

As part of a broader agreement, Iteris and Cisco will address smart city initiatives through joint sales and co-marketing activities to key accounts across the US. Future integration of Iteris video and radar detection sensors with the Cisco Kinetic platform will be showcased at ITS conferences throughout the year, including the 560 ITS America Annual Meeting in Washington, DC from 4-7 June.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    David Crawford welcomes low-cost safety initiatives for pedestrians in America. Some 10 people die each week in accidents on crosswalks in the US, that’s more than 10% of all pedestrian fatalities in road traffic incidents - the number of which is running at a five-year high. Ensuring crosswalks are safe is key in supporting the growing enthusiasm for walking as a travel mode. In the last decade of the 20th century, numbers walking to work in the US fell by 26%; while, as recently as 2012, Americans were e
