Iteris, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a sub-contract by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for connected and automated vehicle (CAV) related planning services, representing continued demand for Iteris' specialized consulting services in a key geographic market. The project supports VDOT's initiative to keep pace with advancements in CAV technologies. The goal is to ensure an efficient transition to future transportation systems management and operations.

This is achieved through an understanding of CAV data needs, cybersecurity and privacy risks, technology trends, and the potential for altering the transportation data paradigm. Under the terms of the sub-contract, Iteris will deliver a CAV data strategic plan to help VDOT gain a high-level understanding of how to integrate CAV data from external sources into VDOT's information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) related systems. This will help enhance their business functions, and conversely, by sharing agency-wide business data from their IT- and OT-related systems, help serve CAV data needs and support deployment of CAV applications.
