The Vantage video detection systems will cover a 22.25km corridor across San Bernardino and Loma Linda, California.

The multi-agency sbX project is the beginning of an intermodal public transit system in California’s San Bernardino Valley that aims to reduce vehicle congestion and provide the public with a cost effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to using personal vehicles and Iteris’ Vantage video detection systems will be deployed as part of the upgrade to intersections along the project route. Shipments are expected to occur in the current quarter.
