Iteris has been awarded a $1.3 million Data-as-a-Service contract from the Utah Department of Transportation. This is the company’s first statewide procurement of its new ClearData service for real-time and historic traffic data.

ClearData is enhanced mobility data output from Iteris’ ClearMobility Cloud. ClearMobility is a suite of data integration and analytics engines that aggregates proprietary and heterogenous data including incidents, construction and connected vehicle GPS probes. It is integrated with ClearGuide, Iteris’ traffic analytics solution. The Utah Department of Transport has been a subscriber to ClearGuide since 2017.

After processsing and quality checks, ClearData reflects real-time road conditions and is delivered to clients via subscription-based direct data feeds, application programming interfaces. In the Utah Department of Transport’s case it will be delivered through ClearGuide.

Under this new multi-year DaaS contract, Iteris will provide real-time and historic traffic data, adding new transportation information that expands ClearGuide’s capabilities to provide real-time and historical visualisations to help the Utah Department of Transport users make informed operational traffic management decisions.

ClearData will provide the Utah Department of Transport with greater flexibility and agility in working with agency partners on planning, operations and special projects. For the first time, the agency can share the resulting data analyses with other agencies inside the state for a collaborative environment. According to Iteris, this is a key factor in the state’s selection of the company as its data vendor.

“We are proud to support Utah Department of Transport’s goal of improving the safety and mobility of Utah’s road users and streamlining their ability to utilise existing subscriptions to other Iteris services through the integration into the ClearMobility Cloud,” said Scott Perley, vice president, Application and Cloud Solutions at Iteris. “These initiatives represent the continued expansion of Iteris’ SaaS-based solutions in Utah and the western U.S., and will ultimately help to improve safety, mobility and compliance for road users, commercial and otherwise, throughout the region.”
