DOT awards Iteris $5.8M task order for support of National ITS and Connected Vehicle Architectures

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has awarded Iteris a $5.8-million task order for continued support and evolution of the National Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture and the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) through 2018. This award extends Iteris’ working relationship with the USDOT to more than 20 years.

This new task order continues the evolution of the National ITS Architecture and supports its application at the regional, state and local agency levels for the planning and development of ITS projects. The work defined in the task order covers architecture content and software tool maintenance, ITS standards support, and technical support for architecture application.

It also provides for Iteris’ development and implementation of workshops and training on the National ITS Architecture; its application to the regional, state and local levels; and an introduction to the CVRIA and its related tools.

Iteris is leading the development and evolution of the USDOT’s CVRIA, which identifies key interfaces and standards for the Connected Vehicle Environment. Connected Vehicle technology allows vehicles to communicate with one another (V2V), as well as with transportation infrastructure (V2I). This technology has the potential of significantly improving the efficiency of the nation’s transportation system and enhancing the safety and user experience for all travelers. Iteris complements its working relationship with the USDOT by assuming leadership positions in many other initiatives that relate to connected and autonomous vehicles.

The Connected Vehicles initiative is focused on the development and deployment of a connected transportation environment that makes effective use of multimodal transportation systems, as well as other transformational applications that require a robust, underlying technological platform. This environment can ensure safe, reliable, interoperable system operations that minimize risk and maximize efficiencies for the traveling public.
