Utah DOT expands smart mobility initiatives

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has awarded Iteris two additional contracts worth more than $2.7m for smart mobility initiatives.

Under the new multi-year SaaS contract extensions, UDOT will expand its use of two Iteris commercial vehicle operations solutions, CVIEWplus and Inspect, for improved safety compliance for commercial motor carriers in Utah state.

Iteris said it will also continue consulting with the state to plan and implement new and improved commercial motor vehicle networks under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Innovative Technology Deployment (ITD) programme.

In addition, Iteris will extend UDOT’s use of its freeway transportation performance measures solution, which provides real-time vehicle speed, volume and classification data and historical analysis for thousands of traffic monitoring stations throughout the state.

“We are proud to support UDOT’s goal of improving the safety and mobility of Utah’s road users, and enabling the safety compliance of commercial vehicle carriers statewide with our transportation analytics and commercial vehicle operations SaaS solutions,” said Scott Perley, vice president, applications and cloud solutions at Iteris.

“These initiatives represent the continued expansion of Iteris’ SaaS-based solutions in Utah and the western US, and will ultimately help to improve safety, mobility and compliance for road users, commercial and otherwise, throughout the region.”

As part of an existing contract, Iteris also recently upgraded UDOT to its ClearGuide mobility intelligence SaaS solution, providing UDOT with access to powerful features, including: dynamic maps to support detailed traffic analysis; traffic speed data for traffic operations analysis and travel-time data that is used on variable messaging signs (VMSs) and UDOT traffic maps.

UDOT also uses ClearGuide features to help identify and mitigate congestion; animations to analyse events and optimise response plans; and historical trend reports and dynamic congestion charts to track reliability and support planning of detour routes.

Iteris’ commercial vehicle operations and transportation analytics SaaS solutions are key components of the ClearMobility platform.

According to the smart mobility infrastructure management company, the platform applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable mobility.

Iteris claims that more than 50 government agencies, municipalities and commercial entities use the transportation analytics capabilities of its ClearGuide mobility intelligence and performance measurement solution to manage, measure and optimise complex transportation networks.
