ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), a global provider of video intelligence and data awareness solutions, announced that it has hired Joe Harvey to serve in the newly created role of ITS market sector leader. Harvey is a graduate of Western Michigan University and resides in Mukwonago, Wis.
With the widespread adoption of network surveillance cameras and other connected devices in cities around the world, there has been a subsequent effort to leverage this “smart” infrastructure to create what are known as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which provide municipalities with the real-time data and analytics necessary to design safer and more efficient highways.
Harvey comes to ISS having worked in various leadership positions at traffic and parking safety solutions provider TAPCO (Traffic and Parking Control Co. Inc.) for more than 10 years. During his time with the company, Harvey led market development efforts for its Wrong Way Alert System and also served as product manager for its DMS product line.
“ISS is manufacturing the physical hardware necessary to monitor the ever-changing transportation world,” said Harvey. “Leveraging our renowned AI video analytics to provide solutions to the traveling public and ITS sector will enact real world change and we will be a part of shaping what ITS provides for our future and I am excited to be a part of that process.”
“ITS is in the DNA of SecurOS, from our first LPR analytic that was released over 20 years ago to the development of new, cutting-edge products like our Soffit system for pedestrian safety,” said Matt Powell, managing director for North America at ISS. “Our North American customers and partners understand the importance of our global experience with transportation and smart cities and how it brings value to the market. Joe, with years of experience and industry expertise, will help guide our teams in the development of SecurOS as the platform of the future in transportation. We are thrilled he will be the North American face to our global experience, educating our partners and the industry on the power of video intelligence in the intelligent transportation space.”
