Saint Paul, Minn., December 13, 1999 - Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) (Nasdaq SmallCap: ISNS) announced today that its Asia subsidiary, Flow Traffic Limited, has received an order for the supply of its Autoscope wide area video detection system to the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Center of the Chinese Ministry of Communication.
The Autoscope technology is implemented in the 2.4 km2 large ITS live laboratory in Beijing in order for the Chinese government to study the advantage of video image detection. Both the Autoscope 2004 system and the latest generation of video image technology, the Autoscope SOLO, are being used by the government. Two senior engineers of the ITS Center of the Chinese government have visited ISS' facilities in Saint Paul, Minnesota, for extensive training and technical exchange.
Johan Billow, General Manager of Flow Traffic Limited, commented, "We are very happy that the Chinese Ministry of Communication, after evaluation of several competing video vehicle detection products, decided upon Autoscope for the Ministry's ambitious ITS laboratory. It is evident that intelligent transport systems are an important aspect in the development of China's road infrastructure and Flow Traffic is committed to support this development."
