Iteris V2X Connect Earns Prestigious Connected Vehicle OmniAir Certification
Iteris, Inc., a leader in smart mobility infrastructure management and part of the Almaviva Group, has reached a significant milestone—its Iteris V2X Connect™ has received the highly regarded OmniAir Qualified Test Equipment certification from the OmniAir Consortium®.
This achievement underscores Iteris’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solutions that meet the highest industry standards for interoperability, security, and reliability.
The Importance of OmniAir Certification in the V2X Ecosystem
The OmniAir Consortium® Certification is an independent, third-party program designed to evaluate V2X and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies for compliance with stringent industry requirements. By securing this certification, Iteris V2X Connect has demonstrated its adherence to key industry standards, including those set by the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
This certification confirms that Iteris V2X Connect supports trusted over-the-air communications, essential for connected vehicle applications in modern transportation infrastructure. In an era where intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are becoming the backbone of road safety and efficiency, certified interoperability is critical to ensuring seamless integration across different platforms and stakeholders.
A Game-Changer in Smart Mobility
The Iteris V2X Connect platform is a sophisticated, intuitive diagnostic tool designed to validate connected vehicle (CV) applications. It plays a crucial role in processing and analysing a broad range of V2X messages, including:
- Signal phase and timing (SPaT) – Helps optimize traffic signal timing for improved flow and reduced congestion.
- Geographic data processing – Enables precise location-based alerts and information.
- Traveller information systems – Enhances real-time data sharing for navigation and route planning.
- Pedestrian safety alerts – Increases situational awareness for both drivers and vulnerable road users.
Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir, praised the innovation behind the solution, stating that Iteris V2X Connect “sets a new benchmark in the industry.”
How Iteris V2X Connect Fits Into the ClearMobility® Platform
Iteris V2X Connect is not a standalone tool—it is a key component of Iteris’ ClearMobility® Platform, a comprehensive ecosystem designed to monitor, visualize, and optimize mobility infrastructure. This platform integrates:
- Cloud computing for real-time data processing
- Artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance predictive analytics
- Advanced sensors for detecting and analysing traffic patterns
- Advisory services and managed solutions to improve traffic management and safety
The ClearMobility® Platform aims to provide a seamless and data-driven approach to reducing congestion, enhancing traffic flow, and improving road safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
Iteris Reinforces Leadership in USDOT’s Connected Vehicle Initiative
This certification further solidifies Iteris’ leadership in the USDOT’s Connected Vehicle initiative. The company is set to participate in the upcoming joint OmniAir and USDOT conformance and interoperability testing event this May, where it will showcase the effectiveness and reliability of V2X Connect.
Todd Kreter, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Iteris, emphasised the significance of this milestone, stating: “This certification reaffirms Iteris’ leadership in the USDOT’s Connected Vehicle initiative, particularly as we prepare to participate in the joint OmniAir and USDOT conformance and interoperability testing event this May. It’s a testament to our commitment to advancing V2X technology and ensuring safer, smarter transportation networks. For our customers, we hope this recognition provides added confidence in our expertise and reinforces our role as a trusted partner.”
Why This Matters for the Future of Smart Transportation
The evolution of connected vehicle technology is paving the way for safer and more efficient transportation networks worldwide. With governments and municipalities prioritising smart mobility solutions, certification programs like OmniAir’s help establish trust and standardisation across the industry.
For transportation agencies, municipalities, and commercial entities, adopting certified V2X technology means they can seamlessly integrate with existing and future infrastructure, ensuring long-term scalability and interoperability. More importantly, such advancements will significantly contribute to reducing accidents, enhancing pedestrian safety, and optimising traffic flow in urban and rural areas alike.
The Road Ahead for Smart Mobility
Iteris has long been a pioneer in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), offering a broad spectrum of solutions that span traffic detection sensors, mobility data analysis, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. With the OmniAir certification, the company has taken another step forward in shaping the future of transportation by ensuring that its technology meets the highest benchmarks for safety, reliability, and interoperability.
As cities continue to embrace connected and autonomous vehicle ecosystems, solutions like Iteris V2X Connect will be instrumental in achieving a more sustainable, efficient, and intelligent transportation network.
