IRD Awarded $2.0 Million Weigh-In-Motion System for the State of Hawaii

International Road Dynamics Inc. (USA) - Press Release: International Road Dynamics Inc. (“IRD”), a Quarterhill Inc. (“Quarterhill”) company (TSX: QTRH) (NASDAQ: QTRH) announced today that the Hawaii Department of Transportation (“HDOT”) has awarded the Company a $2.0 million contract to supply a mainline Weigh-In-Motion (“WIM”) sorting and electronic pre-clearance system at Kapalama on the island of Oahu. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

This agreement builds on IRD’s longstanding relationship with HDOT. In addition to the WIM installation, the agreement will see IRD’s initial deployment in Hawaii of its tire screening system that identifies unsafe trucks that have missing or underinflated tires and its container reader system that will give HDOT the ability to monitor container traffic entering the State.

The Kapalama pre-clearance system (the “System”) will identify commercial vehicles that are potentially in violation of weight restrictions or have tire anomalies and sort them into compliant vehicles that may bypass the weight enforcement station or noncompliant vehicles that must report for inspection at the station. IRD-PAT Bending Plate WIM scales were selected for the site to provide highly accurate vehicle weights when recorded at highway speeds. The System includes an overview camera, License Plate Reader, USDOT Reader, Container Reader, and Tire Anomaly and Classification System (“TACS”). TACS will screen commercial vehicles on both the main highway and on the inspection station ramp to identify unsafe tire conditions.

Connection with state and federal databases for credential and safety screening will be conducted through IRD’s Intelligent Roadside Operations Computer (“iROC”). The iROC provides additional information on vehicle credentials that will be displayed on workstations equipped with IRD’s vehicle display software.

“IRD has a long history of working with HDOT through the provision of their statewide traffic data program and other commercial vehicle enforcement operations. With this new system, HDOT will gain additional capabilities that will enhance road safety and provide the State with the ability to enforce regulations while enhancing mobility,” said Rish Malhotra, IRD President and CEO. “The integration of both tire screening and container reader systems into this unique project shows how transportation authorities with broad responsibilities for safety and mobility can secure additional value from their commercial vehicle facilities. For IRD, it also opens the door to more opportunities to deliver systems to port authorities and agencies requiring similar functionality in their operations and we are proud to continue to drive our industry forward.”
