Iteris secures $1.3mn data-as-a-service contract from Utah Department of Transportation
Santa Ana, United States – Iteris, Inc., a global provider in smart mobility infrastructure management, has announced that it has been awarded a [$1.3 million (€1.18 million)] contract from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), representing the initial statewide procurement of Iteris’ new ClearData data-as-a-service (DaaS) solution for real-time and historic traffic data.
ClearData is the enhanced mobility data output of the Iteris ClearMobility Cloud, a suite of data integration and analytics engines that aggregates and validates both proprietary and diversely sourced data inputs, including incidents, construction and connected vehicle GPS probes. It is integrated with ClearGuide, Iteris’ traffic analytics solution, which UDOT has subscribed to since 2017.
Following processing and quality assurance, ClearData reflects real-time road conditions and is delivered to clients via subscription-based direct data feeds, application programming interfaces (APIs), or, in UDOT’s case, through ClearGuide.
Under this new multi-year DaaS contract, Iteris will provide real-time and historic traffic data, adding new transportation information that expands ClearGuide’s capabilities to provide real-time and historical visualisations to help UDOT users make informed operational traffic management decisions.
ClearData will provide UDOT with greater flexibility and agility in working with agency partners on planning, operations and special projects. The agency can share the resulting data analyses with other agencies inside the state for a collaborative environment. This was a key factor in the state’s selection of Iteris as its data vendor.
“We are proud to support UDOT’s goal of improving the safety and mobility of Utah’s road users and streamlining their ability to utilise existing subscriptions to other Iteris services through the integration into the ClearMobility Cloud,” says Scott Perley, vice president, application and cloud solutions at Iteris. “These initiatives represent the continued expansion of Iteris’ SaaS-based solutions in Utah and the western U.S., and will ultimately help to improve safety, mobility and compliance for road users, commercial and otherwise, throughout the region.”
This contract reflects the growing number of transportation departments taking full advantage of the value and multitude of products available through the Iteris ClearMobility suite of cloud services.
Both ClearGuide and ClearData are key components of the Iteris ClearMobility platform, a complete solution for continuously monitoring, visualising and optimising mobility infrastructure around the world to help ensure that roads are safe, travel is efficient and communities thrive. The ClearMobility platform applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable mobility.
