The Florida City of Lakeland has chosen Iteris to provide smart mobility management to support the city’s Intersection Crash Avoidance Safety Program (iCASP).

The project includes the deployment of Vantage Next, Iteris’ video detection system and VantageLive!, which automatically collects and analyses vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian data at intersections. These technologies will enable FDOT and the City of Lakeland to proactively prioritize easy-to-implement red light running countermeasures with the Red Protect safety feature.

Lakeland will also utilize BlueTOAD roadside units at select intersections. BlueTOAD combines real-time and historical Bluetooth detection with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) interconnectivity to enable various connected vehicle applications as well as to provide synchronization with transportation agency travel-time and performance-measures based systems.

Vantage Next, VantageLive! and BlueTOAD are components of Iteris’ ClearMobility Platform which applies cloud computing, AI, and sensors to road safety.

The City of Lakeland initiated this project due to a high number of crashes attributed to red light running in certain high-impact intersections throughout the city. The deployment of Iteris’ technologies at nineteen of these intersections is expected to increase safety for Lakeland’s traveling public.

“We’re thrilled to be supporting FDOT and the City of Lakeland in their Intersection Collision Avoidance Safety Program,” said Kevin Exner, regional vice president at Iteris. “This is not only an excellent chance to carry on with our extensive work in the Florida market, but it also combines two of our greatest passions at Iteris: the advancement of ITS infrastructure and the enhancement of road user safety.”
