The company has been awarded a three-year contract, valued at approximately US$2.5 million, including two one-year options for ongoing operation and maintenance. Work on the project is planned to begin immediately.
A component of the award includes IterisPeMS (iPeMS), a state-of-the-art system that authenticates and analyses multiple sources of traffic data for performance measuring and management.
“This award by South Carolina reflects our strengthening record of delivering 511 systems on time and on budget, while providing the best resources and user experience to travelers on the road,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “As we begin to upgrade the SCDOT 511 systems to our state-of-art technology, we will incorporate the synergies of our IterisPeMS performance measurement and management solution, which is expected to enhance certain aspects of the SCDOT 511 system.”
Under the terms of the contract, Iteris will lead a team of qualified partners experienced in the delivery of traveller information systems. This new system will be implemented in phases and will include such new features and enhancements as:
- Improved voice recognition software
- Robust performance measurement and management (via iPeMS)
- Easy-to-use systems navigation with additional functionality
- Email alerts that deliver personalized, real-time traffic information
