City of Corona advances smart mobility plans

The City of Corona in California has awarded Iteris a $4m-plus contract to provide the city with smart mobility infrastructure management technologies.

Corona will utilise Iteris’ software as a service (SaaS) solution ClearGuide combined with new detection sensors and web-based communication infrastructure.

Real-time operations

Under the terms of the agreement, Corona will have access to ClearGuide Roadways, a dynamic service that helps agencies improve real-time operations, incident management, work zone mobility, and transportation planning with traffic data and map content.

They will also deploy Vantage Apex, Iteris’ AI-powered HD video and radar detection sensors and VantageLive! a web-based data service that allows users to view activity at their intersections by automatically collecting and analysing vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian data, removing the need for manual, costly data collection efforts.

“Our team will use this information to make our arterial corridors operate more efficiently, and we’re looking forward to working with our partners to make this project happen”

These technologies will enable Corona to gather more accurate road user detection and counts for several major arterial corridors, which they plan to aggregate to produce new, more efficient coordination patterns. In total, over 100 intersections across the city will benefit from this investment.

“I’m eager to have hi-resolution data readily available in an easy to digest format,” said Aaron Cox, senior engineer of traffic public works at the City of Corona. “Our team will use this information to make our arterial corridors operate more efficiently, and we’re looking forward to working with our partners to make this project happen.”
