Alesayi Awards ACS Contract to Provide Automated Traffic Management Expertise for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

DALLAS, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Innovative use of automated traffic management technology will improve public safety and reduce traffic congestion throughout Saudi Arabia under a first-of-its-kind program sponsored by the kingdom's Ministry of the Interior. As part of the program, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. has been awarded a contract by Saudi firm Omar K. Alesayi Communications and Space Services Company Ltd. (Alesayi) to implement the project.

Alesayi was awarded a contract for implementation and operations of the Automatic Traffic Violations Administering and Monitoring (ATVAM) program for the kingdom's central region, which includes the city of Riyadh and the region of Al-Qassim. During the two-year implementation period, ACS will provide systems integration and project management services to oversee and coordinate all project activities and suppliers.

The visionary traffic management program is the largest of its kind in the world. It is aimed at helping the kingdom reduce traffic deaths and injuries through changing driver behavior. The ATVAM program includes sophisticated photo law enforcement systems and traffic management and security systems across the entire kingdom. Speed and red-light enforcement tickets will fund the project.
