Quarterhill Announces Two Contracts in Idaho Valued at $3.4 Million for Weigh Station Upgrades and Maintenance

Quarterhill Announces Two Contracts in Idaho Valued at $3.4 Million for Weigh Station Upgrades and Maintenance

Download Here

  • Quarterhill's upgrade of the Inkom Port-of-Entry weigh station introduces state-of-the-art technology, including advanced License Plate Reader cameras and SLC™ WIM Scales, enhancing safety and improving commercial vehicle processing efficiency on the I-15 Corridor.
  • Quarterhill will provide maintenance services for Idaho's commercial vehicle enforcement sites, ensuring continuous operational efficiency and data reporting from electronic screening systems and virtual weigh stations.

TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), announced today that it has been awarded two contracts valued at $3.4 million for system upgrades and maintenance at Commercial Vehicle Enforcement stations operated by the Idaho State Police ("ISP"). All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars.

Quarterhill has been contracted by the Idaho Transportation Department ("ITD") to install new components and upgrade the Inkom Port-of-Entry weigh station as part of the I-15 Inkom Corridor Improvements. The entrance ramp is being extended, which necessitates the relocation of the Weigh-In-Motion ("WIM") system. Key technological upgrades include advanced license plate readers and overview cameras, an over-height detector, and automatic vehicle identification antenna and reader electronics. The project also includes the integration of cutting-edge iSINC WIM electronics, and the supply of Single-Load-Cell WIM Scales to ensure precise commercial vehicle weight assessments.

Quarterhill will also provide one year of maintenance for electronic screening and virtual weigh station sites, covering electronics upgrades, data services, quality checks, data supply to the state, and reporting support for Idaho agencies. The contract includes an option to extend maintenance services for an additional year.

The Inkom project includes the installation of a Tire Anomaly and Classification System ("TACS"), designed to detect and classify tire issues, including flat, missing, or underinflated tires. Identifying such anomalies is vital for road safety, as tire defects can impair vehicle control, increase stopping distances, and lead to a higher number of accidents. Moreover, ensuring tires are in good condition helps in reducing fuel consumption and extending tire life, thereby promoting both economic and environmental benefits. This targeted approach towards tire monitoring underscores a commitment to enhancing vehicular safety and operational efficiency within Idaho's transportation infrastructure.

"Partnering with the Idaho Transportation Department underscores Quarterhill's dedication to advancing infrastructure through innovation," Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill, commented. "Upgrades like the modernized e-screening system, enhanced electronics, and TACS installation reflect our commitment to road safety, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability. These improvements streamline commercial vehicle processing and reinforce our role in delivering impactful public infrastructure projects that benefit Idaho and its citizens."

Quarterhill Announces $40 Million Renewal Contract to Upgrade Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) I-580 Express Lanes

Quarterhill Announces $40 Million Renewal Contract to Upgrade Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) I-580 Express Lanes

Download Here

  • Alameda CTC's fully electronic express lanes increase the efficiency of the I-580 and I-680 corridors by giving drivers the option to bypass congested traffic segments under certain conditions.
  • Upgrading the I-580 system will create a single, unified platform for Alameda CTC and solidify Quarterhill as its sole Express Lane vendor through 2032.

TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a global leader in providing intelligent transportation system solutions, announced today that has been awarded a contract valued at $40 million to upgrade the Alameda County Transportation Commission ("Alameda CTC") I-580 Express Lanes. The project will be implemented over 17 months and includes seven (7) years of operations and maintenance. The contract provides Alameda CTC with the option to procure up to four (4) additional years of operations and maintenance at an additional cost of $15 million. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars.

The Alameda CTC I-580 express lanes are specially designated highway lanes designed to improve travel times and alleviate traffic congestion across Alameda County. These lanes enable a more reliable traveling experience for commuters and travelers in the county by providing an option to bypass congested traffic segments under certain conditions. Express lanes help in managing and mitigating traffic congestion, directly benefiting not just the users of these lanes but also potentially improving conditions in the general-purpose lanes. The I-580 Express Lanes span approximately 10 miles from Hacienda Drive in Pleasanton to Greenville Road in Livermore in the eastbound direction and approximately 12 miles from Greenville Road to just before the I-680 overpass in Dublin in the westbound direction.

Under this contract, Quarterhill will upgrade I-580 Express Lanes onto the same technology infrastructure that underlies the I-680 Express Lanes operations. The project ensures compatibility with recent system replacements at the Alameda CTC I-680 Express Lane facilities, which implemented Quarterhill's riteSuite™ to improve mobility and alleviate congestion along the corridor. riteSuite is an updated family of cloud-based, end-to-end tolling and mobility systems built on mainstream open-source platforms for flexible deployment to support transportation growth throughout the region.

The express lane consolidation focuses on streamlining operational processes and applying consistent business rules across Alameda CTC's operations. It also addresses the legacy system's increasing operational exposures and maintenance risks by updating technical equipment, including sign upgrades to accommodate changes to road segments, and decommissioning and replacing outdated roadside equipment. With this project, Quarterhill is positioned as Alameda CTC's sole Express Lane Electronic Toll Collection System provider until 2032, with potential extensions until 2036, emphasizing a long-term commitment to enhancing Alameda County's transportation infrastructure.

"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with the Alameda CTC through this significant upgrade of the Express Lanes," said Chuck Myers, CEO of Quarterhill. "This upgrade project not only demonstrates Quarterhill's commitment to innovation but also solidifies our position as Alameda CTC's unified provider for electronic tolling solutions. This initiative will streamline operations, ensure uniformity in the application of business rules across Alameda CTC's network, and provide greater maintenance efficiency. We believe this is a pivotal step forward in enhancing customer experience and are proud to play a crucial role in modernizing Alameda County's transportation infrastructure."
