Carson City, the sixth largest city in the US state of Nevada, is upgrading its intersection detection sensors with Iteris AI-powered Vantage Apex hybrid sensors.

Vantage Apex is a 1080p high-definition (HD) video and four-dimensional radar sensor with integrated AI algorithms. It provides detection, tracking and classification accuracy of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. It also provides HD video display for traffic management centre monitoring.

Intersections across Carson City will be upgraded with the new sensors. These will provide critical infrastructure data through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs).

“We’re thrilled to be providing Carson City with the equipment it needs to create smarter intersections,” said Mark Nogaki, senior vice president of sales at Iteris. “With Vantage Apex, the city will now have the unmatched detection and analytical capability that is necessary to improve safety, mobility and sustainability throughout the area.”

The Vantage Apex AI-powered smart sensor is a component of Iteris’ ClearMobility Platform for continuous monitoring and visualisation of public roads. ClearMobility employs cloud computing, AI and sensors to ensure road safety.
