Smart mobility firm Iteris has secured a one-year contract with the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) to introduce new features to the 511 traveler information system and to continue operation and maintenance services for the statewide service.
SDDOT 511, which is powered by Iteris’ advanced traveler information system, ClearRoute, delivers contextual, real-time, actionable information to the traveling public and transportation professionals throughout South Dakota.
This new contract will fund two new enhancements, including county and tribe road closure and travel advisory enhancements and the automation of state highway network map updates.
Additionally, under the terms of this latest award, Iteris will continue to provide operation and maintenance of the roadway management system (RMS) itself, the SD511 website, the SD511 mobile applications for iOS and Android, and the interactive voice response telephone number.
“We are proud to continue to be South Dakota’s trusted provider of the SD511 roadway management system,” said Dr Moe Zarean, general manager of mobility operations services at Iteris. “The 511 service is paramount to efficiency and road safety in South Dakota, especially during winter weather, and Iteris is proud to help the travelling public safely plan their travel across and throughout the state.”
