Santa Ana, CA: Iteris, Inc. and Delphi, leaders in advanced traffic management technologies and active safety systems, have announced that Iteris has been named the exclusive distributor of Delphi’s Forward Collision Warning System for North American commercial vehicles. Iteris will utilize its highly successful commercial truck OEM and aftermarket sales channels and application engineering expertise to integrate Delphi's radar-based technology into its product portfolio for heavy truck customers. Iteris will also be authorized to sell Delphi’s Side Alert blind spot warning system in North America.

“I am excited about our agreement that combines Delphi’s unique technology with Iteris’ distribution and marketing capabilities, in order to provide Delphi’s radar-based warning systems to our fleet and OEM customers,” says Abbas Mohaddes, Iteris’ president and chief executive officer.

Delphi’s Forward Collision Warning system is designed to increase driver awareness of tailgating situations and impending collisions in all weather and lighting conditions. The extra seconds of warning provided by the system help provide drivers with additional time needed to take appropriate action to help avoid a crash. In addition, the system’s Headway Alert feature provides long-range sensing to help the driver maintain a safe following distance well beyond the capability of any vision-based system.

Delphi’s Side Alert blind spot detection system helps commercial vehicle drivers that are changing lanes or engaging in other maneuvers to resolve some of the challenges from blind spots that exist to the sides of heavy trucks. The blind spot warning system helps drivers avoid or reduce the severity of side-related accidents resulting from collisions with vehicles and objects in the side blind spot.
