The companies expect to bring a suite of applications to market later this year.

Based on Summus’ BlueFuel Map module and real-time traffic and mapping content from Iteris, the solution will enable users to access, view and interact with real-time traffic maps for major U.S. centers such as San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Seattle, and Chicago.

The BlueFuel Map module allows users to view a color or monochrome display of street-level and highway level maps, which can be panned or zoomed for added convenience. The click-through function enables users to easily find specific locations, landmarks, or points-of-interest.

The maps will provide users real-time information on traffic congestion on major highways and roadways as well as information on accidents, road hazards, speeds and travel times.

Personalized traffic services will also be offered, the companies said. Users will be able to see what their travel times will be for specific travel routes, for example, from home to the office or from the office to the airport.

"The combination of our real-time traffic data and Summus’ BlueFuel solution platform will create a powerful solution for mobile consumers and professionals by delivering real-time traffic maps and travel times to their cell phones," said Ed Rowe, senior vice president of Iteris.
