Iteris (ITI) Collaborates with Qualcomm to Deliver Enhanced Safety Data

SANTA ANA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Iteris, Inc. (NYSE Amex: ITI), a leader in the traffic management market that focuses on the application and development of advanced technologies, today announced an agreement with Qualcomm Incorporated, a leading provider of integrated wireless systems and services to transportation and logistics companies, to deliver safety data to trucking fleets. The data will be captured by Iteris’ Lane Departure Warning systems and Meritor WABCO’s SmartTrac and OnGuard active safety systems via Qualcomm’s Mobile Computing Platform 100 and 200 Series.

The solution by Iteris, Meritor WABCO, and Qualcomm provides a single point of access to synchronize and review driver performance data on braking events, stability control events, following distances, and lane-departure warnings for individual drivers as well as the entire fleet. It uses information transmitted from the vehicle by the fleet’s mobile computing platform to provide fleet operators with comprehensive fleet-wide safety summaries, and the ability to drill down to detailed information on individual drivers and events. The solution enhances Qualcomm’s Analytics Manager service, which takes data from numerous sources and converts it into actionable information by leveraging easy-to-use visual tools such as dashboards, graphs, and tables. The result is a holistic view into a fleet’s operational and safety performance, and the ability to make timelier and more informed business decisions.

With this solution, fleet managers at transportation and logistics companies using Qualcomm’s onboard fleet management technology can more easily identify risky driving behavior and provide drivers with the training that the fleet managers deem appropriate to reinforce safe driving practices.

“Iteris is delighted to collaborate with Qualcomm, a leader in mobile information systems and services for commercial vehicles,” said Mr. Abbas Mohaddes, president and chief executive officer of Iteris. “This agreement enables Iteris and Meritor WABCO to integrate best-in-class driver performance and safety data for fleets with Qualcomm’s industry leading Mobile Computing Platform Series.”

“Iteris’ SafetyDirect is an ideal complement to Qualcomm’s extensive suite of safety services,” stated Norm Ellis, vice president of sales, services, and marketing of Qualcomm Enterprise Services. “Iteris and Meritor WABCO possess unique, high value truck safety data, which can help further enhance the comprehensive safety profile for Qualcomm’s fleet customers.”
