Vantage Node:
The Next Generation of Intersection Detection
Iteris has launched VantageNode, a compact, AI-powered intersection detection solution built for the smaller, underserved intersections that traditional sensor technology has left behind. Rather than relying on a single wide-angle camera, VantageNode uses a single-mount, quad- camera design that gives each approach its own dedicated view, delivering stop-bar accuracy without the distortion or blind spots common to fisheye and panoramic setups. It's a practical way to bring reliable vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle detection to intersections that budget, wiring, or installation complexity have historically ruled out.
Because everything mounts to one pole, agencies get broad approach coverage with less labor, fewer lane closures, and simpler long-term maintenance, helping lower the total cost of ownership. VantageNode's detection is powered by proprietary AI models trained on diverse intersection imagery and has already proven itself through early-adopter deployments and field testing in low-light, rural, and other challenging conditions. Every VantageNode also comes with access to ClearGuide, Iteris' traffic analytics platform, so agencies get built-in data collection and performance reporting to support planning and funding efforts right out of the box.
Why it matters:
Each camera independently covers its own approach, delivering reliable stop-bar detection with less wiring and installation work.
- Advanced detection for more intersections: VantageNode brings AI-powered detection to smaller, simpler intersections that advanced sensors often overlook.
- Lower cost to own: One pole, less labor, fewer lane closures, and simpler maintenance help reduce overall costs.
- Built for real-world conditions: AI trained on diverse intersection imagery delivers reliable performance in low-light, rural, and other challenging environments.
- ClearGuide included: Built-in analytics make it easy to track performance, collect data, and create reports for planning and funding.
