Iteris Announces Introduction of VersiCam™ Video Detection Product

-- VersiCam™ expands Iteris? market leading Vantage™ video detection product and addresses significant under-served market segment--
VersiCamTM combines Iteris? proven video detection algorithms and imaging technology into one, easy to use, integrated camera and processor system. The product is designed to address price-sensitive applications such as the ?semi-actuated? intersection market which Iteris believes is under served by other in-pavement and above-ground sensor products. Additionally, VersiCamTM is ideal for a wide variety of international traffic management applications. VersiCamTM offers the many benefits of video detection, at an attractive price. VersiCam™ offers flexibility in ?detection zone? placement, reduced need for lane closures during installation, and the availability of a video image for transmission to a central control facility.
?Iteris is proud to add VersiCamTM to its best-in-class line of Vantage™ video detection products and to broaden our opportunity to include a sizable yet under-served market,? said Greg McKhann, Iteris? senior vice president and general manager, Roadway Sensors. ?VersiCamTM complements our existing product line and offers end users a video detection product that allows them to realize the benefits of our Vantage™ systems at a greater number of locations. We expect this product to help accelerate the transition from in-pavement detection products to video detection.?
Iteris applies video detection to a broad range of traffic management applications, including both intersection control and highway management systems. The Company?s advanced image processing technology is used in its Vantage™ product line to detect vehicle presence, count, speed, occupancy and other traffic data used in traffic management systems. This gives trafficmanagers a powerful toolkit for mitigating roadway congestion by modifying traffic signal timing or detecting incidents quickly. Vantage™ video detection cameras are multi-functional, flexible and reliable. They have been deployed by hundreds of agencies in 49 U.S. states, and in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. The product is currently sold through a network of over 20 independent dealers in North America, Asia, Europe, and South America.
