Rekor Command™ Platform Transforms Traffic Management and Enhances Roadway Safety With Initial Adoptions in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Oregon

Rekor Command™ Platform Enables State, Regional, and Rural Transportation Agencies to step into the Future of Traffic Management with AI-Driven Event Detection, Response and Analytics

Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:REKR) (the "Company"), a trusted global authority in developing and delivering roadway intelligence using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), today announced the initial adoption of its industry-leading Rekor Command™ platform by Departments of Transportation (DOT) in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Umatilla County, Oregon. These agencies can now monitor traffic in real-time and leverage AI-driven insights in specific areas of these states to better inform and respond swiftly to potentially dangerous roadway incidents, up to 23 minutes faster than traditional approaches across urban and rural regions. The introduction of Rekor Command™ in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Oregon presents innovative capabilities to these regions, providing advanced roadway intelligence and situational awareness solutions typically only available in more urban centers. This democratization of access to Rekor's leading technology ensures unmatched proactive roadway safety, empowering states, regional, and rural areas with tools that significantly enhance their transportation infrastructure.

Rekor Command™ revolutionizes traffic management by providing transportation agencies a way to take command of their roadways with real-time, AI-driven event detection, roadway response, and advanced analytics. Using proprietary AI algorithms and technology, Rekor Command™ transforms raw roadway and mobility data into actionable insights, enabling customers to make informed, real-time, and predictive decisions at greater speed. Using Rekor Command™, agencies can more quickly identify and respond to incidents, enhance Traffic Incident Management (TIM) timelines, improve traffic flow, minimize the risk of secondary accidents, decrease operational costs, boost efficiency, and enhance safety for roadway users and emergency responders.

The expansion into Oklahoma and Kansas builds on Rekor's success in neighboring Texas, extending coverage, reach, and tools available to these additional DOT agencies and fostering similar growth. In Oregon, the Umatilla County deployment expands on Oregon DOT's Connected Vehicle Ecosystem deployment, a cutting-edge approach to delivering connected vehicle data insights across the state and supporting the DOT's Road Usage Charge efforts. This regional growth underscores Rekor's commitment to improving roadway management. It opens new markets for the company in rural areas, allowing these agencies to collaborate better and communicate to manage rural roads effectively. By providing visibility and insights that were previously out of reach, Rekor is enabling these agencies to optimize their traffic management and enhance public safety.

Dan Dorran, Umatilla County Commissioner in Oregon, stated, "The challenges we face as a local agency in rural Oregon are shared by many communities. Rekor's technology is pivotal in harnessing data and AI to digitize our roadways, helping us realize our vision of modernizing our transportation infrastructure. Rekor is setting a new standard for traffic management and public safety in rural areas across the U.S."

Rekor's President & CEO, David Desharnais, stated, "We are thrilled to see the adoption of Rekor Command in transportation agencies across Oregon, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The integration of Rekor in these states demonstrates the ability to drive tangible and significant benefits for state DOTs and across urban and rural communities, as well as connect digital infrastructure nationwide. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology and applying it to modernizing national infrastructure, we are paving the way for smarter, safer, greener, and more proactive traffic management."

Highlights of Rekor Command Adoption:

• Real-Time Traffic Monitoring: Instant alerts for various incidents, including accidents, road closures, and other disruptions.
• Work Zone Safety: Automated notifications about ongoing construction activities and lane closures to minimize commuter inconvenience and enhance worker safety.
• Weather-Related Alerts: Integration with meteorological data for effective road safety management during adverse weather conditions.
• Emergency Notifications: Swift communication during emergencies and natural disasters, ensuring relevant stakeholders are informed promptly.
• Comprehensive Data Integration: Leveraging Geographic Information System (GIS) integration to visualize incidents and closures on maps for better decision-making.
