With real-time and historical traffic data from HERE Technologies – a global leader in mapping and location platform services – ClearGuide gives OC 405 Partners – the joint venture team responsible for delivering the project – the ability to manage and minimize construction impacts, and increase safety and mobility for 370,000 daily southern California road users during the construction phase of the $1.9 billion project.

Under the terms of the one-year software-as-a-service contract, ClearGuide, a component of the ClearMobility Platform, will give OC 405 Partners access to powerful features including: dynamic maps to support detailed traffic analysis during construction; features to help identify and mitigate congestion; animations to analyze events and optimize response plans; historical trend reports and dynamic congestion charts to track reliability and support planning of project detour routes in and around the cities of Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Westminster and Seal Beach.

Since the I-405 Improvement Project’s launch in March 2017, Iteris has supported work on freeway intelligent transportation system (ITS) and 405 Express Lanes infrastructure design, temporary ITS infrastructure for use during construction, development of the project traffic management plan, and signal design. In May 2018, Iteris was subsequently awarded a $2.4 million contract to deploy temporary ITS infrastructure for use during construction. In May 2019, Iteris was awarded a further $1.4 million in new contracts for traffic manager support, construction operations and maintenance, and associated construction phase services. The new contract for ClearGuide brings total contract awards so far to $10.2 million. The I-405 Improvement Project – undertaken by the Orange County Transportation Authority in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation – is one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects in the nation. The multi-year improvement project will be completed in 2023.
