Iteris chosen by UMTRI for good mobility and security initiative

Santa Ana, USA. 6 April 2022 – Iteris, Inc., the world’s trusted expertise ecosystem for good mobility infrastructure administration, introduced its choice by the College of Michigan’s Transportation Analysis Institute (UMTRI) for a sensible mobility and security initiative, representing rising demand for Iteris’ good mobility infrastructure administration applied sciences from public transportation businesses, analysis institutes and automotive OEMs.

The three-year, $20 million (€18.41 million) venture sees Iteris be part of private and non-private companions together with Continental, Ford, Toyota, Qualcomm, the Metropolis of Ann Arbor and Purdue College. Half of this system funding is offered by the U.S. Division of Transportation’s Federal Freeway Administration’s Superior Transportation and Congestion Administration Applied sciences Deployment (ATCMTD) program, with the rest offered by the individuals as a shared funding program, ATCMTD funds mannequin applications that result in the “set up and operation of superior transportation applied sciences to enhance security, effectivity, system efficiency and infrastructure return on funding.”

Underneath the phrases of the settlement, Iteris will equip greater than 20 signalised intersections in Ann Arbor, Michigan with its industry-leading vehicle-to-everything (V2X)-enabled detection expertise as a part of UMTRI’s linked automobile and good intersections program.

“One of the vital promising elements of this venture is that we will pave the way in which for a nationwide linked and automatic automobile deployment,” says Henry Liu, analysis professor at UMTRI, and director on the Centre for Related and Automated Transportation (CCAT) and Mcity. “With revolutionary good mobility infrastructure administration expertise companions like Iteris, we are going to definitively exhibit not solely the expertise however a transparent path to funding the infrastructure each elements wanted for a nationwide deployment. Moreover, the Good Intersections Undertaking will present vital day one advantages to early adopters, together with saving pedestrian lives.”

As a part of the linked automobile security program, Iteris and Continental might be deploying their Vantage Fusion hybrid video and radar visitors detection expertise at key signalised intersections. Vantage Fusion allows real-world V2X functions and superior intersection visualisation for safer, smarter and extra sustainable roadways. A pilot has already been deployed on the College of Michigan’s Mcity as step one on this course of.

Vantage Fusion makes use of data generated by infrastructure sensors to allow cooperative notion capabilities. Along with sharing a linked automobile’s location with different V2X-enabled gadgets, cooperative notion messaging might allow that automobile to additionally share what it senses a pedestrian or automotive, for instance with the remainder of its linked atmosphere.

Vantage Fusion is the primary resolution from Iteris and Continental’s just lately introduced, future-oriented visitors infrastructure collaboration to leverage automotive sensors, and infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) connectivity to make metropolis transportation methods throughout North America safer, extra environment friendly and extra sustainable, whereas supporting native and regional transportation businesses’ efforts to realize their Imaginative and prescient Zero objectives, and getting ready cities and automotive OEMs for developments in linked and automatic automobile (CAV) applied sciences.

“We’re thrilled to play a continued function within the College of Michigan’s linked automobile testing program, which might be crucial in demonstrating the numerous security advantages of V2X-enabled detection methods,” says Todd Kreter, senior vp and common supervisor, Superior Sensor Applied sciences at Iteris. “With the deployment of our Vantage Fusion detection expertise, the primary resolution from our partnership with Continental, we’re proud to pave the way in which for nationwide adoption of linked and automatic automobile applied sciences, and make mobility protected, environment friendly and sustainable for all highway customers.”

Vantage Fusion is a key element of Iteris’ ClearMobility Platform, essentially the most full resolution for repeatedly monitoring, visualising and optimising mobility infrastructure around the globe to assist make sure that roads are protected, journey is environment friendly, and communities thrive. The ClearMobility Platform applies cloud computing, synthetic intelligence, superior sensors, advisory providers and managed providers to realize protected, environment friendly and sustainable mobility.
