The deal will see Iteris’ full range of advanced vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian detection solutions, as well as its cloud-based performance analytics software, sold through Phoenix Pacific’s extensive distribution network, in support of Hawaii and Guam’s transportation improvement program goals to reduce congestion, and improve safety and efficiency.

The partnership positions Iteris to help transportation agencies in the region address traffic congestion and aging infrastructure issues, which are expected to worsen as, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2020 Infrastructure Report Card, Hawaii’s statewide roadway travel demand is projected to increase to 3.4 million daily vehicle trips by 2035.

"This partnership is an exciting step forward in our mission to bring best-in-class smart mobility solutions to the streets and highways of the Hawaii and Guam regions we serve,” said Danny Smoot, vice president at Phoenix Pacific. "We believe that Iteris, with its excellent distributor training and support, is well positioned to deliver its advanced video detection technology and mobility intelligence solutions to the U.S. Pacific Islands.”

"We are thrilled to announce the addition of Phoenix Pacific to our U.S. distribution channel,” said Mark Nogaki, vice president, sales and customer success, Roadway Sensors at Iteris. "This is an important step in our geographic expansion, and Phoenix Pacific is the ideal partner to deliver the sales and support of Iteris products due to its long history of traffic engineering expertise in the region.”
