73 Iteris has been chosen by the 343 Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to upgrade ITS across five cities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The three-year project is supporting the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Innovative Deployments to Enhance Arterials (IDEA) programme, which seeks to improve the Bay Area’s readiness for C/AV technologies.

Iteris will provide engineering services for the IDEA programme, including C/AV applications and virtual bicycle detection technology for signal operations across 79 intersections in Los Gatos, Emeryville, Walnut Creek, Concord and Dublin.

Ramin Massoumi, senior vice president and general manager, Transportation Systems at Iteris, says the company is supporting the IDEA programme to help improve mobility and safety at the key intersections in the five cities.

Destined to play a central role in keeping the city and its transport running smoothly during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in July, the new Glasgow Operations Centre in Scotland’s largest urban centre formally went live earlier this year. The aim was to dry run its far-reaching integration of previously distinct core systems and familiarise the public with the initial phase of what will be a long-term post-event legacy.

    Jim Leslie, manager of ITS applications engineering at the Econolite Group looks at practical steps in transitioning from closed-loop masters to a centralised ATMS. Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag
