How is Iteris Reducing Traffic Congestion

Ever wonder why traffic congestion can get so bad? The common culprit is signal timing issues, leading to long delays, increased fuel consumption, and a frustrated traveling public.

Traditionally, fixing traffic signal issues has been a slow process. It can take days for someone to report the problem, and even longer for traffic field staff to investigate and solve it. A faulty pedestrian push button stuck in the request position could mean weeks of traffic delays while the right assets are tracked down and installed.

But with Iteris, there's a smarter way to handle these issues:

1. Smart detection and data transfer: Iteris sensors detect traffic backups and immediately send data to the cloud, feeding it into our ClearGuide® software.
2. Enterprise asset management: Once a backup is detected, traffic operators receive alerts and use Iteris ClearAsset™ software to pinpoint the exact cause, like a faulty pedestrian button, and locate the nearest available replacement within minutes.
3. Rapid resolution: Operators notify local traffic agencies, who can swiftly procure and install the asset. What previously took two weeks can now be resolved in a few hours.

Through cutting-edge technology and real-time insights, Iteris reduces congestion, cuts emissions, and improves overall traffic flow-bringing traffic back to normal quickly and efficiently. Watch the video above to see more.
