[November 05, 2009] Iteris Secures Traffic Management System Integration Project from Corona, Calif. Tweet Nov 06, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Iteris, a provider of the traffic management market that focuses on the application and development of advanced technologies, announced that the City of Corona has awarded a contract to Iteris for the integration phase of the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) Phase 2 Project (The Project). The Corona ATMS Phase 2 Project builds upon the city's existing Phase 1 project deployment, completed by Iteris in 2003, to provide improved transportation management along additional corridors while incorporating additional stakeholders in the Corona region. The contract is valued at $2.27 million, is expected to start immediately, and will include the procurement and configuration of numerous intelligent transportation systems (ITS) hardware and software components. Work on The Project is expected to occur over the next 9 months. "Iteris has been involved with The Project from the early stages of development of the Master Plan, and we are pleased that Corona has decided to move forward with the next phase of the ATMS Project using Iteris' capabilities," said Abbas Mohaddes, president and chief executive officer of Iteris. "Iteris has extensive experience in deploying ATMS technologies, and we are looking forward to helping the agency deliver congestion relief, improved mobility, and quality of life to area residents and commuters alike." The Project will expand operations to additional city and Caltrans signalized intersections, and initiate the integration of the City of Norco and County of Riverside signalized intersections into the Corona ATMS. The Project will incorporate over 17 miles of new fiber optic cable and 15 miles of existing fiber optic cable from the ATMS Phase 1 project. As well as being responsible for the design of the city's IP network to support the ATMS Phase 1 and Phase 2 project elements, Iteris will also supply the ITS components and configure all IP devices. Once completed, The Project will deploy Ethernet-based communications to 95 signalized intersections and include the upgrade of nearly 50 traffic signal controllers. The Project will also deploy six new Gigabit Ethernet communication hubs, 30 new CCTV cameras, 8 Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), one microwave Gigabit Ethernet backhaul link, and will upgrade 29 existing video-based traffic detection systems to Ethernet-based communications.
