[February 09, 2012] Iteris announces USD1.5m contract for Inland Empire's 511 traveller information system Tweet Feb 09, 2012 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- Iteris Inc (NYSE Amex: ITI), a provider of traffic management solutions, said on Wednesday that it had been awarded a USD1.5m, five-year contract by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), in cooperation with the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG). Iteris was engaged to operate and maintain the Inland Empire's 511 (IE 511) traveller information system, with work on the project expected to run through to June 2016. Iteris said that it has engineered and deployed key elements of the IE 511 system, including interactive web-based traffic maps and an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone system. The interactive maps display travel times on major highways, changeable message signs, video images from roadside cameras, and identify incidents and SigAlerts as reported by the California Highway Patrol. Under this new contract, Iteris will be converting the existing IVR platform to its proprietary IVR to reduce ongoing costs and streamline the operations and maintenance of the overall 511 system, reporting regularly to RCTC on system up-time and user statistics.
