“We continually strive to find new ways to leverage data to make
cities smarter, transportation safer, and farmlands more
sustainable and productive,” said Joe Bergera, president and CEO of
Iteris. “We’re honored to be recognized by a highly esteemed
organization such as Fast Company for our SmartCycle Bike
Indicator, which is truly a world-changing idea and one that we
hope will be used to make roads safer and more accommodating to
bicyclists everywhere.”
Built on Iteris’ patented SmartCycle® solution, which
differentiates between bicycles and vehicles at intersections, the
SmartCycle Bike Indicator is another first-of-its-kind
innovation.
Leveraging SmartCycle’s bicycle detection algorithm, the
SmartCycle Bike Indicator is a device that mounts onto traffic
signals and illuminates when cyclists waiting at an intersection
have been detected. This means the cyclist does not need to risk
dismounting into a busy road and pressing a button to cross the
intersection. It also reassures them that when they do get a green
signal it will give them sufficient time to make it across.
Iteris has also recently been recognized by the League of
American Bicyclists and the Business Intelligence Group for its
efforts to protect, innovate around and integrate with bicyclists
and transportation systems technology.
