About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Iteris And Sumitomo Electric Introduce Advanced Pedestrian Safety Solution To Reduce Fatalities In North America

--News Direct--

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga

On Jun. 11, Iteris Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), a leading technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management, announced an exclusive agreement with Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI) to bring the Sumitomo Pedestrian Detection sensor to the U.S. market. This collaboration aims to integrate SEI’s advanced radar technology into the Iteris ClearMobility Platform in order to save pedestrian lives and provide valuable data that enable additional improvements in mobility management.

Technology Integration And Features

The Sumitomo Pedestrian Detection sensor uses cutting-edge radar technology to detect pedestrians with high accuracy. Since its launch in 2017, this sensor has helped reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts in various regions of Japan, particularly protecting vulnerable populations like the elderly. By incorporating this technology into the ClearMobility Platform’s ecosystem, Iteris will strengthen its industry-leading transportation safety solutions portfolio and gain access to more granular pedestrian data to improve its comprehensive mobility data set.

The sensor’s advanced features include its ability to operate effectively in all weather and lighting conditions, from sunshine to total darkness, thanks to its 24 GHz millimeter-wave radar technology. Proprietary algorithms also enable it to track pedestrians even when they are obscured by other vehicles, covering a wide detection area suitable for various intersection and midblock configurations.

The sensor will be integrated into Iteris’ Vantage PedSafe solution, including real-time analytics through Iteris’s ClearGuide software, which provides insights into pedestrian activity and helps identify unsafe areas.

A Pedestrian Safety System

Vantage PedSafe, a key component of Iteris’s comprehensive detection solutions, is designed to protect vulnerable road users (VRUs) in diverse conditions, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as intersections, school zones, university campuses, transportation hubs and entertainment venues.

This advanced system utilizes cutting-edge sensors and analytics to monitor pedestrian movements and optimize traffic signal timings, ensuring safer crossings. Vantage PedSafe can activate dynamic street lighting, LED beacons and message signs to alert drivers of pedestrians, enhancing visibility and awareness.

Finally, the system broadcasts safety warnings to connected vehicles and optimizes traffic operations by adjusting signal timing based on real-time pedestrian detection. By integrating these innovative features, Vantage PedSafe significantly reduces accidents while improving the overall flow of traffic, exemplifying Iteris’s commitment to pedestrian safety and modern transportation solutions.

Transportation Equality And Vision Zero

Vision Zero is another leg of this push for enhanced pedestrian safety, aiming to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries partly through addressing issues with transportation equity in underserved communities. Vantage PedSafe looks at the higher pedestrian fatality rates in lower-income areas and helps agencies secure safety-related grants by demonstrating effective safety improvements.

In 2022, pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. reached the highest level in 40 years, with 7,508 deaths, 76% of which occurred in dark conditions. Additionally, the rate of fatalities was nearly double in lower-income areas. This underscores the critical need for advanced pedestrian detection solutions like those provided by Iteris. If implemented, thousands of lives could be saved each year, particularly in lower-income communities.

A Safer Future For Pedestrians

Iteris is continuously monitoring, visualizing and optimizing mobility infrastructure to ensure that roads are safe, travel is efficient and communities can thrive. Various private-sector enterprises and thousands of public agencies already rely on its solutions, making it a trusted leader in smart mobility infrastructure management. Ultimately, this latest integration by Iteris, combined with its innovative in-house pedestrian safety technology, promises to create safer environments and reduce traffic fatalities across the U.S.
