The Moving Arizona podcast, hosted by Melissa Boyles, recently caught up with Iteris' Mike Washkowiak to discuss our work on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, which aims to improve one of the busiest freeway segments in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

In the interview, Mike highlights the steps Iteris is taking, in partnership with the Pulice-FNF-Flatiron Joint Venture, a design-build joint-venture team, to mitigate any construction-related delays during the historic four-year project, which will reconstruct an 11-mile segment of Interstate 10 spanning the cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Chandler, and the town of Guadalupe.

From Moving Arizona:

Have you ever wondered what the heck is happening on the Broadway Curve? Well, me too. So in this episode I spoke with MOT subject matter expert, Mike Washkowiak. Mike is an Associate Vice President for Iteris and professional engineer. He shares information about building a practice in Arizona for his company, the incredible work they're doing across the country, how his career started right here in Arizona, and the role he’s playing on this major reconstruction project. Mike explains the Broadway Curve team’s plan for completing this project. They'll be adding capacity while never reducing lanes and to help make that a possibility, Iteris has deployed its leading edge ClearGuide software for traffic management.

Before the rise of AI-powered detection, we relied on what is now called traditional machine vision (MV). Any technically competent person could set up a processor, download a detection algorithm from the cloud, plug in a video source and start detecting vehicles. These systems have been prevalent over the years and appeared effective, but often relied on an optimal field of view and near-perfect weather conditions. See More >
