Iteris Chosen by the Orange County Transportation Authority for Harbor Boulevard Transit Initiative
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Iteris, Inc., the world's trusted technology ecosystem for smart mobility infrastructure management and part of Almaviva Group, today announced it has been awarded a new contract by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for a new smart mobility initiative that will improve public roadway transit in the county.
Iteris will provide its unique microsimulation planning expertise to analyze public transit movement and identify strategies to improve service across the areas studied. This project specifically will focus on transit routes along Harbor Boulevard. The study area spans five cities and 53 signalized intersections. The two combined routes (Route 43 and OC Bus Rapid Route 543) along this corridor average over 10,000 boardings daily, encompassing nearly 8% of all county bus ridership.
With microsimulation, the team will use complex traffic software to simulate real-life operations and analyze the impacts of changing travel demand, traffic generated and affected by construction projects, local traffic patterns, updates to signal timings and parameters, and different interactions between modes of travel. With this information, Iteris can then identify a range of strategies to enhance and improve public transit service along the affected routes.
This project coincides with Iteris' support for the Traffic Signal Priority Pilot Study on Harbor Boulevard and will leverage data collected for the countywide baseline project, which combined represent nearly $10 million in recent contracts awarded by OCTA to Iteris. Like the Traffic Signal Priority Pilot Study, the Harbor Boulevard Transit Initiative will use Iteris' ClearGuide® SaaS solution and extensive data analytics to help understand travel patterns and identify existing traffic conditions in the area.
ClearGuide is a key component of Iteris' ClearMobility® Platform, the world's most complete solution to continuously monitor, visualize and optimize mobility infrastructure. ClearMobility applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services and managed services—a distinctive combination within the smart mobility industry that works together to enhance safety and efficiency across all roadway users.
'We're thrilled to further our work with the Orange County Transportation Authority with this new planning project,' said Steven Bradley, senior vice president of mobility professional solutions at Iteris. 'With our extensive microsimulation experience and coinciding knowledge of OCTA's transportation network from our other work with them, we're uniquely positioned to help the county improve transit efficiency with this initiative.'

Octa's oil outlook: Middle East tensions threaten global supply
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 June 2025 - Crude oil, which is arguably the world's most important commodity, is on everybody's mind right now. The flared up conflict in the Middle East is increasing risks of a major oil supply shock, potentially pushing the price of 'black gold' into the stratosphere and completely derailing the global economy. In this article, Octa, a global retail broker, shares its expert opinion on the unfolding situation and outlines possible scenarios for the global oil market. Octa Broker As it often happens, the market started to price in the possibility of a new conflict in the Middle East well in advance. On 11 June, oil prices rose more than 4% after reports surfaced that the U.S. was preparing to evacuate its Iraqi embassy due to heightened security concerns in the region. Two days later, Israel and Iran exchanged airstrikes, pushing both Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the world's two major oil benchmarks, to five-month highs as investors anticipated potential supply disruptions from an open conflict. To this day, the conflict continues without resolution and oil prices remain elevated even as there are some telltale signs that the parties may be willing to negotiate. 'This burgeoning unrest introduces an unprecedented degree of volatility, significantly amplifying the specter of a catastrophic oil supply shock', argues Kar Yong Ang, a financial market analyst at Octa broker, adding that the conflict between Israel and Iran 'carries ominous potential to propel crude prices to unprecedented levels, thereby unleashing a cascade of detrimental effects that could, in the most dire of scenarios, cause a major global economic crisis'. Indeed, the Middle East in general and Iran in particular play a pivotal role in global energy markets. A substantial portion of the world's crude oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) is produced and exported in this region. Iran itself, despite the existing sanctions on exports, remains an important supplier of oil—notably, for China. Furthermore, a vast number of ships carrying crude oil and LNG transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow yet vital chokepoint that Iran has repeatedly threatened to close. Should Iran act on this threat and block the strait, the repercussions would be quite severe, likely pushing global crude oil prices well above $100 per barrel, or even higher, due to the significant disruption of supply. Technically, if we look at a broader, long-term picture, WTI crude oil seems to be moving sideways with a minor bearish tilt. On a daily chart (see below), the price still has not escaped from the bearish parallel channel. However, due to the latest geopolitical news, the price has managed to rise above the 200-day moving average (MA) and seems poised to break above the critically important 77.60-78.00 area. 'Breaching the $80 handle should not be difficult if the current situation deteriorates sharply', says Kar Yong Ang. 'Continuing destruction of oil infrastructure in Iran, potential U.S. involvement in the war, countries' unwillingness to negotiate and, above all else, Iran's attempts to block the Strait of Hormuz, all of this will have a bullish impact on prices'. Indeed, a break above 80 level, would open the way towards 83.40, 85.20, 87.30, and 90.00 area. Alternatively, in case the hostilities moderate somewhat, other countries—particularly the U.S.—refrain from directly participating in the conflict, and both Israel and Iran express willingness to negotiate, bearish sentiment will immediately kick in. 'I think WTI oil may lose as much as 5 dollars per barrel in the blink of an eye should we see some progress in nuclear negotiations between Europeans and Iranians, which are due to commence in Geneva this Friday', concludes Kar Yong Ang. In this scenario, a break below 71.50 level would allow bears to target 67.80, 64.80 and 61.70. Overall, WTI crude price is now stuck in a broad range between $70 and $80. The move above and below these two levels will essentially indicate if the situation in the region is getting worse or is getting better. The chart below shows potential bullish and bearish targets, marked in green and red, respectively.
