IRD Continues Significant Deployment In Georgia With Contracts Totaling CDN $1.1 Million SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--International Road Dynamics Inc. (IRD) announced today that it has received contracts from Brooks - Berry - Haynie & Associates, Inc. to supply an additional two Automated Truck Weigh Station Systems and upgrade an existing one in the State of Georgia. The contracts are valued at approximately CDN $1,100,000. The systems will be installed this year in Troup and Catoosa counties. IRD has previously supplied ten similar systems at five locations (Catoosa, Monroe, Lowndes, Bryan and Brunswick counties) in Georgia, six Truck Rollover Warning Systems at three locations (Fulton, Clayton and Dekalb counties) in the State, and have an ongoing contract for maintenance. These facilities will be integrated with NorPass, a State-operated national commercial vehicle pre-clearance program. The new Automated Truck Weigh Station Systems utilize IRD's patented Single Load Cell Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) technology in combination with Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology to monitor a truck's weight, credentials, height and other parameters and determine compliance with Georgia regulations. Mr. Terry Bergan, President and CEO of IRD noted, "We are proud of our ongoing relationship with the Georgia Department of Transportation. IRD's Weigh-In-Motion systems will continue to save time and money for both the State of Georgia and the motor carriers that use its highways and roadways. These automated inspection stations contribute to a number of the goals of the U.S. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program including traffic safety by reducing congestion in and around truck inspection stations and reducing the number of lane changes, trucks exiting and merging onto and off the highway at inspection stations, and environmental concerns by reducing fuel consumption and emissions as significantly fewer trucks must stop and report." IRD is a highway traffic management technology company specializing in supplying products and systems to the global Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) industry. IRD is a North American company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with sales and service offices throughout the United States and overseas. Private corporations, transportation agencies and highway authorities around the world use IRD's products and advanced systems to manage and protect their highway infrastructures. -30- FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT:
