How Itera delivers value
Innovation
Some parts of the system were written about 25 years ago. Since then, Norway's vehicle fleet has grown by more than 50%, and over 200 sites have been (re)constructed. This requires changes not only in the approach to collecting data from sites, but also in how that data is turned into user-readable interfaces.
The core module of the system, the Alarm functionality, where operators can see events that happened across the country in a matter of milliseconds and process them as necessary, is being recreated from scratch. We brought in the latest technologies to ensure stable, secure, and testable software that can last and grow to meet future needs.
A new design language, together with an in-house component library, shortens the path to every action, keeps critical information visible, and gives operators room to adapt the interface to how they work.
Knowledge
It is crucial to understand how things work in a system of such scale and importance. Layers of multiple technology eras can be seen in the code, alongside outdated or missing parts of documentation. In an environment where "every second counts", there is no place for mistakes and therefore analysis and tests of functionality takes an extensive amount of time.
To tackle this, we are working on AI-based real-time documentation, which is generated directly from the codebase. Hours of analysis and potential blind spots can now be avoided with well-structured prompts. Results are validated and put together into documentation and tickets by domain experts in a more effective way.
Building continuity in systems that matter
The result is a modernised platform designed for continuity, resilience and clarity, supporting those responsible for keeping Norway’s roads safe.
The collaboration with Trafsys reflects a long-term commitment to critical infrastructure. By combining domain expertise with modern software practices and AI‑supported documentation, the solution is being renewed in a way that supports today’s operators while remaining adaptable to future demands.
