September 15, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Telvent (NASDAQ: TLVT), the IT company for a sustainable and secure world, announced that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) awarded a contract to implement an Open Road Tolling  system at the Hampton Mainline Toll Plaza in New Hampshire. The contract is valued at approximately 1.5 million euros.

The project aims to improve traffic conditions during the peak tourism seasons while maintaining NHDOT’s ability to accurately and reliably collect toll revenue. It will also enhance the efficiency and accuracy of toll operations, increasing NHDOT’s toll processing capacity, reducing travel time and minimizing drivers’ and workers’ inconvenience.

Telvent will implement a dedicated two-by-two lane ORT system in one of New Hampshire’s busiest toll plazas located on Interstate 95. The toll management system will enable the Bureau of Turnpikes to track vehicles through the ORT zones and charge them appropriate toll fares through their E-ZPass account, and also capture toll violators. Telvent will also implement a powerful remote operations and maintenance system to facilitate, through integrated video imaging, real time sensor data and transaction information, event alerts, notifications and historic playback features, guaranteeing high availability and a 24/7 optimum performance.

This contract allows Telvent to strengthen its position in the US toll market, as technological leader in electronic toll collection systems. The company has completed successfully E-ZPass projects for the New York State Bridge Authority, MTA Bridge and Tunnels and Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority, and an ORT system on Route 183A for the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority.
