The new camera monitor system reduces blind spots, increases awareness by 35%, reduces glares, and eliminates vibration and distortion for bus operators. 

Video Mirrors benefits fleet operators by minimizing driver fatigue and fuel costs, driving a reduction in accidents, and over a 40% reduction in costly repairs. Video mirrors have been deployed in several states.

Luminator is expanding its reach with E Ink by showcasing color displays that can be utilized on board BEB buses providing a low-power solution to TFT displays. E Ink color displays use proven bistable reflective technology that provides visibility in direct sunlight and low power consumption. 

Management of the Paper displays is via Luminator's content management software (CMS), providing the ability to monitor display status throughout the network and update content on one or multiple displays as needed.

Lastly, Luminator will introduce the Luminator Software Suite.
