Parsons Corporation joins the Port of Oakland, California, Advent eModal, Mobile Programming and key stakeholders to announce the launch of the Freight Intelligent Transportation System (FITS) at the Port. Since 2020, Parsons has worked closely with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (CTC), Port staff, the City of Oakland, the California Department of Transportation, and subcontractors including Advent eModal, Mobile programming, Elite Transportation Group, Kalmar, Wisetech Global, QuayChain, Bear Electric, and Iteris, to develop and implement the FITS solution. Construction and system integration is now complete, and the Port of Oakland is entering the ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) phase.

Parsons' award-winning advanced traffic management software (ATMS) solution, iNET®?, integrates with an enhanced version of the SecurSpace smart parking system and a new custom GoPort website and mobile application for iOS and Android, to create a fully functional operating system. This system combines innovative technologies to improve the efficiency, safety, operations, circulation and reliability of truck and rail access. Now entering the next phase of the project, the Port of Oakland has selected Parsons and its team to provide operations and maintenance of the FITS program.

The five-year contract will expand the tasks of Parsons' existing role as the FITS system integrator to include 24/7 operations and maintenance for the FITS devices and applications. In addition, Parsons and its partners will leverage artificial intelligence with video and data analytics to predict freight wait times and develop predictive models around road blockages at train crossings. The data collected will also be used to create customized dashboards for custom border protection and port shipment tracking.

Parsons' iNET is the Smart Mobility Platform that cities, states, and municipalities around the world rely on to help improve the management, efficiency, and safety of their transportation networks. With more than 100 cutting-edge deployments, Parsons' technologies connect thousands of devices and traffic signals to help improve mobility.
