The Abacus system's proprietary technology provides departments of transportation and traffic engineers a cost-effective tool to collect traffic data, rapidly identify incidents, and gain access to additional traffic-flow information by leveraging their existing video surveillance infrastructure.
"The Abacus technology has been well received in the market place," states Daniel Benhammou, Abacus Product Manager. "I believe that Iteris has the resources, reputation, and market presence to grow the adoption within the industry. I am excited about joining forces with Iteris to maximize the market opportunity for this technology."
"This acquisition expands Iteris' product portfolio in the traffic management market, which should enable us to provide a wide range of data-mining services to our public and private sector clients via our significant market presence and channels," commented Abbas Mohaddes, Iteris' President and Chief Executive Officer. "I believe the acquisition of Hamilton Signal nicely complements our Roadway Sensors technology and allows us to address an adjacent market segment. The addition of the Abacus system to our product line demonstrates Iteris' commitment to introducing new and innovative solutions that allow states and municipalities to take full advantage of their existing ITS infrastructure."
