73 Iteris has a major presence at this year’s ITS America Annual meeting as the company continues finding traction for its suite of transportation management solutions that measure, manage and inform users.

The company’s participation will kick off on Sunday, May 31 with the Iteris-sponsored bicycle tour of downtown Pittsburgh which will pass through an intersection where the firm’s enhanced bicycle detection algorithm in the latest version of its award-winning SmartCycle innovation will be on display. Participants will get the chance during the exhibition to see themselves having been detected, along with all participating cyclists, from any location at the intersection. Iteris says SmartCycle is a ground-breaking product that ensures that when cyclists are present, an intersection can include extra green time for them to safely cross.

Solutions to provide for better management of transportation networks are at the foundation of everything Iteris does and the firm is involved with every aspect of the Connected Vehicle initiative in the US, from the communications capabilities, data sources and security, to the equipment that detects and collects, and distributes the data. ITS related solutions traffic management centres, transit planning and signal priority will be on display to show what is available today and where the future is going.

Meanwhile, providing actionable information that is easy to understand and view is the culmination of all solutions. iPeMS is the company’s performance management software that ingests all variables impacting transportation, from weather to incidents. The newest application module added to the software is geared towards MAP-21 performance measurement requirements. Live traffic will be fed into the system for demonstrations at the Iteris booth.

    Part of a larger urban zone, the city of Darmstadt near Frankfurt, Germany, does not escape the problems of traffic congestion. In a bid to improve the situation, the city’s traffic authorities have installed more than 200 video detectors from Flir Systems, along with Flir’s video management system, Flux, which monitors the traffic streams coming from a wide variety of cameras. The city is also using various types of video sensors for vehicle, pedestrian and cycle detection, all of which are used to con

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    The EU’s UDRIVE project will investigate driver behaviour in terms of road safety and the decarbonisation of road transport, as Nicole van Nes and Silvia Curbelo explain. There were nearly 25,700 fatalities on European Union (EU) roads in 2014 or, to look it another way, roughly 70 people are killed in traffic accidents on European roads every day - and many more are injured. Around 22% of the fatalities are pedestrians, 15% will be motorcycle riders and 8% cyclists. So despite the improvements in road safe
