Iteris secures contract for Seminole County traffic signal retiming programme
Iteris, Inc., a technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management, has secured a new [$1 million (€0.90 million)] contract by Seminole County, Florida for a regional traffic signal retiming programme. This contract represents ongoing demand for Iteris consulting services in a key geographic market.
The five-year Arterial Corridor Signal Retiming programme includes data collection and analysis, development of signal timing plans, deployment, fine tuning in the field and performance evaluation. It will impact 19 systems and 146 intersections throughout the county.
The primary goal of the project is to implement optimised coordination timing plans to achieve optimal traffic flow, and improve safety for all road users, including vehicles, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. By reducing dwell time at 146 of the county’s intersections, the project is also expected to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Having worked with Seminole County on retiming projects for over 15 years, Iteris is acquainted with the county’s staff, procedures, and road network, and is in a position to use data collected from previous engagements to facilitate the project.
“We are always happy to support Florida’s goal of improving the safety and mobility of road users, and excited to contribute by leading this traffic signal retiming programme in Seminole County,” says Anita Vandervalk, regional vice president of consulting solutions at Iteris. “This initiative represents not only continued demand for Iteris’ expertise in traffic signal coordination, but also client satisfaction and success achieved with previous projects. It will ultimately help to increase the value and effectiveness of the region’s existing transportation infrastructure, consistent with our core value of improving safety, air quality and reducing fuel consumption.”
