ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2006--Iteris, Inc. (AMEX:ITI), a leader in vision-based technologies and Intelligent Transportation Systems that optimize traffic flow and enhance driver safety, today announced that Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc., a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) super regional carrier, will install Iteris' Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system in 1200 tractors in its existing fleet of over 4,400 with plans to make LDW part of their standard specification on all new truck purchases in the future. Old Dominion is the 10th largest LTL carrier in the country, according to the most recent published Transport Topics Top 100 list.
Old Dominion will begin deployment of the Iteris LDW system in August 2006 and expects to have the trucks fully outfitted within six months. The LDW systems will be installed at 10 of Old Dominion's 178 service center facilities located across the country.
"Installing the Lane Departure Warning system in our fleet of trucks gives us the ability to be proactive instead of reactive," said Brian Stoddard, vice president of safety and personnel for Old Dominion. "With safety remaining a top priority for our company, we are confident the decision to install this technology will prove to be an effective means of preventing accidents."
