NCDOT improves traffic operations with ClearGuide® Dash Cam Imagery informed by Vizzion

RALEIGH, NC - September 2, 2026 - Iteris, Inc., the world's trusted technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management and part of Almaviva Group, and Vizzion, the leading provider of real-time road imagery, today announced that North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is leveraging the first state-wide deployment of ClearGuide® Dash Cam Imagery informed by Vizzion's Drives service.

ClearGuide® mobility analytics platform provides transportation agencies with real-time tools for traffic operations and now integrates real-time and historical on-vehicle imagery directly into traffic management workflows for faster visual verification and improved situational awareness. NCDOT officially signed on as the first U.S. state agency to leverage dashcam imagery in ClearGuide, utilizing dashcam data to supplement the visualization and analysis of probe speed data and real-time arrow board locations in this analytics solution.

A New Dimension in Traffic Management

The integration embeds Vizzion's Drives service directly into the ClearGuide interface. Vizzion has one frame per second imagery available from a growing network of tens of thousands of connected dash cameras on commercial vehicles. While many traditional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) rely on fixed roadside cameras, NCDOT is paving the way with access to a new mobile sensor network on vehicles driving about 3 million miles per day, including about 900 vehicles driving over 100,000 total miles per day in North Carolina. This approach is helping to improve situational awareness for the lane statuses of roads to improve dispatch, incident clearance and traveler information across the state.

ClearGuide users at NCDOT can see available dashcam coverage in an intuitive map interface and select specific imagery to view real-time conditions. With this feature, North American agencies benefit from ground-truth evidence without sending staff out on the roadways. With street level view of traffic conditions, weather impact, road work, flagging, and incident context, dashcam insights delivered in ClearGuide are at a fraction of the cost that physical infrastructure investments would require.

"This capability transforms how agencies experience ClearGuide by adding real-world context to every event, from work zones to weather impacts." said Will Cousins, chief product officer at Iteris. "It's a powerful step forward in helping our customers keep their networks moving safely."

Leading with Innovation in North Carolina

NCDOT has emerged as a national leader in adopting technology to manage complex road events. The agency was the first adopter of this Dash Cam Imagery, and has used it in the following pilot projects and ongoing operations:

• Emergency Situational Awareness: Validated the exact location and duration of a wildfire, allowing for more precise response and traffic management.
• Operational Accuracy: Monitoring the severity of fog and adverse weather to demonstrate that Variable Message Signs (VMS) could provide accurate warnings to the public.
• Work Zone Management: Locates active work zones to ensure lane closures are reported correctly and to stop the dissemination of incorrect lane closure information.
• Resource Optimization: Better understanding of road events to ensure appropriate response, reducing response times and overall operational costs.

"On-vehicle camera data, and its use within a traffic analytics platform, gives us the ability to see events in locations where we do not have traffic cameras," says Kelly Wells, PE, NCDOT Traveler Information Engineer. "This technology has the potential to complement probe speed data in a way that significantly improves situational awareness for traffic management and traveler information."

"By bringing real-time dashcam imagery into the ClearGuide platform, we are giving agencies eyes on the road', especially in places that historically have been underserved by roadside infrastructure, for a substantially lower capital outlay than roadside infrastructure," said Keith Anderson, vice president at Vizzion.

TETC Marketplace Vendor

Serving agencies like NCDOT is key to advancing ITS across North America. Iteris is approved by The Eastern Transportation Coalition's (TETC) Traffic Data Marketplace to offer core services and ancillary products to 20 U.S. states and their member agencies. Streamlined procurement of data and services, including Dash Cam Imagery, through pre-vetted channels, offers operational and safety benefits to TETC members.
