Iteris, Inc. announced that it has executed the final contract and received the formal notice to proceed for a $3.6 million initiative with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for a regional traffic signal synchronization project. The three-year project includes signal coordination and timing improvements, with the aim of improving traffic flow, enhancing public safety and decreasing stops. Under the project agreement, Iteris will provide services that will upgrade traffic signal electronics and communications equipment, and optimize signal timing along Main Street, a major north-south corridor that comprises major signalized intersections spanning three cities – Orange, Santa Ana and Irvine – in Orange County, California. As part of the project, Iteris’ intersection-as-a-service™ end-to-end solution offering will deliver proactive monitoring of traffic signal operations at all project intersections. The primary goal of this project is to deploy new intelligent transportation system (ITS) equipment and communication infrastructure to support the management of the cities’ transportation network, implement optimized coordination timing plans to achieve optimal traffic flow, and improve safety for all road users, including vehicles, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. Iteris expects to commence the traffic signal coordination and ITS design project immediately.
