Iteris Smart Mobility Solutions Powering Corona’s Intelligent Infrastructure Overhaul
The City of Corona in California is stepping boldly into the future of urban transport. With the award of a $4 million contract to Iteris, Inc., a global leader in smart mobility solutions, the city is embracing a digital-first approach to transportation management. This move underscores a broader shift toward intelligent infrastructure, powered by real-time data and artificial intelligence.
At the heart of this transformation is Iteris’ suite of integrated technologies, including the ClearGuide® SaaS solution, the Vantage Apex® detection system, and the web-based analytics tool VantageLive!®. Combined, these tools will modernise traffic management across more than 100 intersections in Corona, drastically enhancing the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of the city’s roadways.
A Strategic Partnership Driving Results
Iteris, now part of the Almaviva Group, brings global experience to the table, but it’s the collaboration with local entities like Crosstown Electrical & Data that brings the vision to life. This partnership is key to deploying the ClearMobility® Platform – an advanced ecosystem blending cloud computing, AI, and sensor data to monitor and optimise urban mobility.
Adam Cook, senior vice president and chief sales officer at Iteris, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the project: “We’re thrilled to be working with the City of Corona and Crosstown Electrical & Data on this project. With these technologies working together, this initiative will ultimately help to increase value, effectiveness and resilience in the city’s transportation infrastructure, all while making the roads safer and more efficient for travellers.”
Real-Time Data
The centrepiece of this rollout is ClearGuide® Roadways, an intuitive, map-based platform offering rich traffic analytics. It’s designed to provide live insights for everything from day-to-day operations to long-term planning.
Aaron M. Cox, PE, TE, PMP, senior engineer of traffic public works at the City of Corona, shared his excitement: “I’m eager to have hi-resolution data readily available in an easy to digest format. Our team will use this information to make our arterial corridors operate more efficiently, and we’re looking forward to working with our partners to make this project happen.”
For Corona, having access to ClearGuide’s dynamic datasets means:
- Enhanced incident response and traffic management
- Improved mobility in work zones
- Better planning using comprehensive, actionable data
AI-Powered Detection
Another standout feature of the project is the implementation of Vantage Apex®. These AI-driven sensors combine HD video and radar technologies to automatically monitor vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian activity.
The benefits are huge. Instead of sending out teams to manually count traffic – an expensive and time-consuming task – Corona can now rely on automated, continuous data collection. And thanks to the integration with VantageLive!®, city planners get instant access to dashboards and reports that drive faster, better decisions.
This data will feed into signal coordination plans, improving traffic flow along major corridors and reducing congestion. It’s a win-win for both the city and its residents.
A Platform for Progress
All the technologies in this upgrade are unified under Iteris’ ClearMobility® Platform. It’s a powerhouse framework combining:
- Cloud-based software tools
- Real-time visualisation
- AI and machine learning algorithms
- Expert advisory and managed services
Together, these capabilities allow municipalities like Corona to not only see what’s happening on their streets in real time but to model different traffic scenarios, simulate future changes, and continuously optimise operations.
And there’s more. With the ClearMobility® Platform, cities can also integrate environmental data, align with sustainability targets, and reduce carbon footprints by eliminating unnecessary delays and idle times at traffic signals.
Global Expertise with Local Impact
Iteris isn’t just any tech vendor. As a pioneering force in intelligent transport systems, its footprint spans municipalities and agencies across North America and beyond. With its parent company Almaviva Group deeply embedded in global transport and logistics, Iteris is uniquely positioned to bring world-class solutions to communities like Corona.
What sets Iteris apart is its ability to deliver a full-stack approach to infrastructure management. From cutting-edge sensors to user-friendly software and hands-on consulting, it’s all designed with one goal in mind: making mobility safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
Moving the Needle on Urban Resilience
By adopting this suite of smart mobility solutions, Corona is building future-ready infrastructure. The system doesn’t just solve today’s challenges; it prepares the city for population growth, urban expansion, and environmental pressures.
This forward-thinking investment in intelligent traffic technology will:
- Improve travel time reliability
- Enhance safety for all road users
- Reduce operational costs
- Lower emissions and support green goals
It’s part of a broader trend in the US and globally, where cities are recognising the value of digital infrastructure as essential public service – on par with water, power, and broadband.
A Smarter Way Forward
Corona’s leap into smart mobility isn’t just a tech upgrade – it’s a strategic commitment to innovation, sustainability, and quality of life. Through Iteris’ smart infrastructure solutions, the city is transforming how traffic flows, how decisions are made, and ultimately, how its residents experience daily life.
With Iteris and Crosstown Electrical & Data in its corner, Corona’s roads are set to become safer, greener, and better connected. It’s a shining example of how smart investments today can pave the way for thriving communities tomorrow.
