-- Magnum to Distribute Iteris' AutoVue Lane Departure Warning Systems to the Commercial Truck Market --

Santa Ana, Calif. ? Iteris, Inc., a leader in the traffic management market that focuses on the application and development of advanced technologies, today announced that the Company has signed an agreement with Magnum Fleet Services to distribute Iteris? AutoVue® Lane Departure Warning system (LDW) to the commercial truck market throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Iteris? innovative LDW system is an active safety product that warns motorists if they are inadvertently drifting out of their lane, helping to prevent accidents before they occur. The LDW system is a small, integrated unit consisting of a camera, onboard computer, and sophisticated image processing algorithms. The system?s camera tracks visible lane markings and its algorithms detect when a vehicle drifts toward an unintended lane change. If this occurs, the system automatically emits a distinctive rumble strip or other audible warning, alerting the driver to make a correction. LDW is a proven, reliable technology that is well positioned to become an integral part of any comprehensive vehicle safety solution.

AutoVue® LDW systems to the commercial vehicle and fleet market.
