ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Information, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology, announced today that Western ITS has become the first company to earn the designation of "Glance Certified" Installer. This new certification program recognizes partner organizations that meet Applied Information's high standards for installing, commissioning, and maintaining its Glance^® smart traffic solutions.

The Glance Certified designation ensures that installers have demonstrated the skills, experience, and quality control procedures necessary to deploy advanced transportation technologies including connected school zone safety beacons, emergency vehicle preemption systems, and other Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) infrastructure.

"Glance Certified Installers play a key role in delivering the safety and mobility benefits of Glance connected transportation systems," said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information. "Western ITS has consistently demonstrated technical excellence, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to quality, making them a natural choice to lead the way as our first certified installer."

We're proud to partner with Applied Information to bring these connected systems to communities working to improve safety and mobility for all road users."

The Glance Certified Installer program was developed to support state and local transportation agencies as they expand the deployment of connected and intelligent transportation infrastructure. Certification includes formal training, field validation, and ongoing collaboration with Applied Information's technical team. It ensures that installations are completed to specification and that connected systems perform reliably from day one.

Western ITS has installed Applied Information technologies in multiple jurisdictions, supporting deployments across traffic signal systems, school zones, and public safety corridors.
