Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming transportation infrastructure, offering innovative solutions to address growing challenges in traffic management and road safety. As urban mobility becomes increasingly complex, companies like Iteris are developing cutting-edge technologies that harness AI’s potential to improve transportation systems.
The global traffic management market is projected to reach over $75 billion by 2029, reflecting the increasing demand for intelligent transportation solutions. This growth is particularly crucial given the rising number of deadly crashes in the United States, which increased by 16% between 2018 and 2022.
AI technologies are demonstrating remarkable capabilities in enhancing transportation safety and efficiency. Through advanced analysis of traffic patterns, AI can provide real-time alerts about potential road hazards, assist drivers in avoiding collisions, and optimize route planning to reduce congestion and carbon emissions.
Iteris is pioneering AI-driven technologies that address critical transportation challenges. The company’s ClearGuide® analytics software processes billions of GPS data points daily, covering 3.8 million miles of North American roadways. By gathering real-time information from over 150 public and private sources, the platform offers comprehensive traffic condition updates.
One of Iteris’ most innovative solutions is the Vantage Apex® system, which utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks to recognize and classify road users. This AI technology can detect vehicles, pedestrians, and other road elements even in challenging visual conditions, potentially revolutionizing intersection safety and preparing infrastructure for connected and autonomous vehicles.
The company’s approach extends beyond traditional traffic management. By predicting crash probabilities at specific intersections, Iteris enables transportation agencies to prioritize safety improvements and implement proactive measures to prevent accidents.
As transportation continues to evolve, AI’s role becomes increasingly critical. Iteris demonstrates how intelligent technologies can transform urban mobility, making roads safer, more efficient, and better equipped to handle growing transportation demands.
