Press Release Body = CLEVELAND, OH - Mobile AwarenessT, a provider of leading-edge
transportation safety products, today announced the release of a new
speech-enunciating vehicle back-up warning alarm.SafetyVOICET.

SafetyVOICET is a commercial grade reverse back-up alerting device designed to
protect, individuals on foot, from injuries and fatalities resulting from a
vehicle\'s blind spot. Activated by placing a vehicle transmission in reverse, the
system delivers human voice commands, coupled with a piercing electronic alarm. To
pedestrians in proximity to the rear of a vehicle, the sound of human speech stating
\"please stand clear!\" is readily recognized, understood and more likely reacted to
than a typical back-up beeping alarm.

SafetyVOICET was designed to be a more effective method of preventing non-traffic
pedestrian injuries and deaths that can occur around commercial trucks, delivery
vans, waste management and utility vehicles, emergency vehicles, as well as school
buses. \"The typical beeping sounds currently found on many reverse backing devices
are too often ignored or not recognized, especially by young children. To
effectively capture the attention of individuals and heighten pedestrian awareness,
speech-enunciating technology has been employed to alert pedestrians when a vehicle
is preparing for rearward motion,\"

Developed as an enhancement to object detection systems such as rear view cameras
and sonar backing sensors, SafetyVOICET is a rugged, self-contained product
manufactured from durable high-grade materials. \"We wanted to provide a low cost,
yet effective countermeasure to back-up accidents that could be utilized in
combination with other reverse back-up accident prevention solutions,\" says Gary
Rothstein, president of Mobile Awareness. \"With the latest research finding that, no
single back-up safety device is entirely full proof in preventing all types of
backing accidents; a product that would aid both the vehicle driver and the
unknowing pedestrian could provide significant benefit.\"

Backing accidents occur every 1.6 minutes in the United States, with pedestrian
injuries accounting for 35%-40% of motor vehicle deaths in children. In November
2006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) Administrator
Nicole R. Nason called for a comprehensive solution to the tragic problem of
children who are backed over by motor vehicles. Rothstein adds, \"Mobile Awareness is
committed to that safety goal, we applaud the NHTSA for making this issue the
priority it must be if we are truly going to reduce the number of vehicle related
fatalities.\"
