Utah DOT Adds HERE Traffic Data to Iteris
Performance Measurement Platform (Photo: Business Wire)
In combination with real-time and historical traffic data from
HERE Technologies – a global leader in mapping and location
platform services – the new engagement expands its original Iteris
iPeMS implementation from 2014 and is renewable annually for up to
five years. The service will give UDOT the ability to analyze and
visualize real-time and historical traffic data, while measuring
and forecasting the impacts of changing weather on pavement
conditions, construction work and infrastructure health for
improving roadway mobility and safety.
Features include real-time maps, real-time bottlenecks,
animations, historical trend reports, dynamic route creation,
reliability maps, reports and measures, congestion charts, weather
overlays and route summary reports.
“Iteris is a trusted partner that is uniquely qualified in
harnessing and analyzing traffic data. Gaining access to statewide
traffic insights via Iteris iPeMS’ easy-to-use interface will make
a significant contribution to our goal of reaching zero crashes,
injuries and fatalities throughout the state of Utah,” said Kelly
Burns, traffic mobility engineer at the Utah Department of
Transportation. “We intend to use this data to prioritize project
needs, measure arterial reliability, automatically detect unusual
congestion outside of our transportation management system limits
and communicate event-related traffic. We are also exploring
options to use this to measure incident management team
benefits.”
“This comprehensive, statewide expansion of Iteris iPeMS, which
now leverages the power of HERE location data and covers arterial
roads as well as freeway networks, underscores UDOT’s commitment to
investing in the safety and efficiency of its roadways,” said Ramin
Massoumi, general manager and senior vice president, Transportation
Systems at Iteris. “Utah is one of the leading states in traffic
performance measurement and serves as both a valued partner and
instructive example of the demand for transportation analytics
solutions across the country.”
“Managing congestion and prioritizing projects that improve
mobility and safety is an important role of the Utah Department of
Transportation,” said Monali Shah, director of intelligent
transportation at HERE Technologies. “We are proud to provide HERE
real-time and historical traffic data, with Iteris’ analytical
tools, to deliver a real-time understanding of road performance and
the insights needed for data-driven project planning and
management.”
Government agencies and municipalities throughout North America,
including the Virginia Department of Transportation, the
California Department of Transportation and the City of Toronto,
use performance measurement systems from Iteris to manage, measure
and optimize complex transportation networks.
