Multi-year Project Will Implement Advanced Detection Systems to Improve Traffic Flow and Safety, and Reduce Emissions Across the Northern California City

• Program leverages Iteris’ smart mobility infrastructure management expertise to support region’s goal of improving safety and mobility for all road users, while increasing sustainability across key signalized intersections in Concord, California.
• Iteris’ Vantage Vector video and radar detection systems differentiate between vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, enabling city to adjust traffic signal timing to accommodate slower-moving road users, and minimize congestion and delays.
• Deal represents continued demand for Iteris’ advanced detection systems in a key geographic market.

Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the world’s trusted technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management, today announced that it has been awarded a $2 million contract by the City of Concord for a smart mobility, safety and sustainability program representing continued demand for Iteris’ advanced detection systems in northern California, a key geographic market.

Under the terms of the five-year contract, which is extendable for two additional one-year periods, Iteris will upgrade key intersections and arterials in Concord, California with hybrid video and radar detection systems to support the city’s goals of improving traffic flow and safety, and reducing carbon emissions.

With Iteris’ Vantage Vector® hybrid video and radar detection systems, the City of Concord will be able to differentiate between vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians to improve mobility and safety for all road users, while saving money.

In addition to its ability to differentiate between vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians for rich data and insights on trends in traffic volumes and modes of transportation, the Vantage Vector system has high-precision radar sensing technology that enables dilemma zone and red-light running safety applications. Vantage Vector’s advanced dilemma zone and red-light running detection capabilities help reduce the risks of rear-end and right-angle collisions by either extending a signal phase to give drivers more time to react or enabling an all-red phase, pausing traffic until the intersection is cleared.

This combination of smart mobility technologies will enable the city to adjust traffic signal timing to accommodate slower-moving road users, and minimize congestion and delays. The reduced congestion, as well as the ability to reduce the risk of collisions at the intersection, will help to improve safety, while also improving air quality through reductions in carbon emissions.

“We are thrilled to support the City of Concord’s goal of improving safety and mobility for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, while maximizing efficiency and improving air quality along these key signalized intersections,” said Brian Girardot, regional vice president, sales at Iteris. “This new contract, which is testament to the spirit of innovation at the City of Concord, demonstrates increasing demand for Iteris’ leading solutions for the smart mobility infrastructure management market and underscores the city’s commitment to a technology framework that will serve its communities for decades to come.”

Vantage Vector is a key component of the ClearMobility™ Platform – the world’s most complete solution to continuously monitor, visualize and optimize mobility infrastructure. ClearMobility applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services to help ensure roads are safe, travel is efficient, and communities thrive.
