Safety is a key priority for all agencies, and red light running crashes are one of the biggest safety issues plaguing cities around the country.  Iteris and the City of Lakeland, FL have teamed up to address the reduction of red light running crashes through the use of radar detection technology, signal performance measure (SPM) data analytics, and advanced controller capabilities.  SPM data can show when cars are entering the intersection during and after the red phase.  

The Iteris Vantage Vector hybrid sensor can feed the necessary data into the SPM system, and can also provide the necessary outputs to the traffic controller when vehicles are in the dilemma zone, and Siemens advanced traffic controllers can apply an all red condition to ensure that vehicles in the opposing phases are delayed from entering the intersection; preventing a possible t-bone crash.  For more on this story check out the feature from Fox 13 in Tampa, FL.

Iteris will be putting on a more detailed talk on this subject at the Davenport User's Group on December 10-11.  If you haven't registered for this event yet see the details below.
