Iteris has secured a new contract for a bus signal priority (BSP) system for Torrance Transit’s Rapid Line in Los Angeles County, California.
Under the $2.2m contract, Iteris will manage design, procurement, deployment, and on-going operation and maintenance of a multi-jurisdiction bus signal priority system.
Work on the project is expected to begin immediately, with the installation of the bus signal priority system at 83 signalised intersections anticipated to be completed within 18 months.
Iteris president and CEO Abbas Mohaddes said: “This project expands our established multi-modal operations throughout Los Angeles County.”By growing our nationwide presence and utilising existing bus system technologies, we are able to provide clients with superior technology to mitigate traffic congestion.
“We look forward to helping improve the overall service to Los Angeles County residents and commuters.”
The BSP system uses the current on-bus systems which were previously implemented by Iteris under the Countywide Metro Rapid Signal Priority Program. These include GPS-based automatic vehicle-location equipment, wireless bus-to-intersection communications, and advanced intersection traffic controller systems.
The City of Torrance transit director Kim Turner said: “Consistency and implementation of a proven system is essential for the residents and transit users of Torrance Transit.
“Iteris has provided a proven solution throughout Los Angeles County and we look forward to continued success with their expanded solution,” Turner said.
