HERE Technologies, Iteris partner to create new smart mobility solutions
HERE Technologies, a location data and technology platform, and Iteris, a technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management, have announced a multi-year agreement. This integrates a broader suite of location-based services and user capabilities from HERE Technologies into Iteris’ ClearMobility platform, including HERE traffic products, HERE maps and HERE platform services.
The integration of the additional HERE Technologies’ components will enhance the dynamic contextual services of the ClearMobility Platform and enrich the insights of Iteris’ mobility intelligence application, ClearGuide. As a result, map content and data provided by HERE and visualised through ClearGuide will provide actionable insights to various users, including transportation engineers, transportation planners, infrastructure operators, and roadway construction teams.
“We are excited to reinforce and broaden our collaboration with HERE Technologies,” says Will Cousins, senior vice president and chief product officer at Iteris. “As part of the new five-year agreement, we are expanding our emerging safety and mobility applications to help public agencies address the critical priorities of the National Roadway Safety Strategy and support federal, state and local officials who are ensuring roadways are both safer and less congested.”
Currently, more than 50 government agencies, municipalities and commercial entities use ClearGuide to improve safety and mobility by turning large amounts of complex transportation data into insights for smart, data-driven operations and planning decisions.
Iteris will display the HERE Map, including speed limits, lanes, and mile markers in ClearGuide, providing customers with high-quality map data. ClearGuide will also incorporate HERE Traffic products, including HERE Real-time Traffic and HERE Traffic Analytics data, to provide accurate traffic information.
Further, Iteris may utilise HERE’s platform services to allow a distinct path for ClearGuide to meet more customer requirements moving forward.
“A key part of the HERE mission is to enable a digital representation of reality to radically improve the way the world moves, lives and interacts, and to help customers and developers power applications that can plan ahead, react with speed and increase road safety,” says Miranda Ashby-Annoon, senior director of public sector sales at HERE. “We are excited that HERE will be able to provide ClearGuide users with greater access to high-quality HERE Map data and platform services, allowing them to improve planning, operations and the safety of their road networks.”
The ClearGuide solution is a key component of Iteris’ ClearMobility Platform, a complete solution to monitor, visualise and optimise mobility infrastructure continuously. 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.
