Old Dominion Freight Line will install Iteris' Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system in 1,200 tractors in its existing fleet with plans to make LDW part of its standard specification on all new truck purchases in the future.

Old Dominion will begin deployment of the Iteris LDW system this month 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."
The decision by Old Dominion to make Iteris' LDW technology standard on its trucks came after the company tested five units over the course of two years. In addition to superior field test performance, Old Dominion received extremely positive feedback on the system from its truck drivers. The company becomes the 9th major fleet in the past six months to make Iteris' LDW system standard on its trucks.
