How is Iteris Making Roads Safer for Cyclists?

2 min. Read • Posted 10/29/2024 by Breanna Wallace

In 2021, 966 bicyclists tragically lost their lives in traffic accidents, with 26% of those fatalities occurring at traffic intersections. These numbers emphasize the importance of cyclist safety, especially in high-risk areas.

At Iteris, we’re committed to reducing these fatalities through cutting-edge technology and strategic collaboration. Our ClearMobility® platform brings together hardware, software and professional services—all working together to help make roads safer. Here’s how we help cyclists:

  • Smart detection: Our AI-powered sensors detect and classify vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. This real-time data is sent to the Iteris cloud for analysis.
  • Data insights: Let’s say the volume of cyclists in bike lanes has increased quickly in a short period of time, and near-miss collisions are rising even faster. With Iteris ClearGuide®, traffic operators can get this critical data needed to make informed decisions that will combat the issue.
  • Consultant collaboration: Our team of experts partners with cities to recommend effective safety measures like installing physical barriers and painting bike lanes green, which studies show significantly reduce near misses.

Iteris is at the forefront of smart mobility, delivering innovative solutions to make all modes of transportation safer for everyone. Watch the video above to get a look at how it works.
