SAIC Awarded Illinois Tollway Contract to Upgrade Toll System

SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 29, 2005 -- Science Applications International Corporation's (SAIC) Security and Transportation Technology Business Unit announced today that it has been awarded a $6.6 million contract by the Illinois Tollway to assist in the Tollway's system-wide conversion to Open Road Tolling, the first in the nation to convert all mainline toll plazas to a barrier-free electronic toll collection system. The contract includes Phases I and II of the Tollway's Toll Revenue Management and Maintenance Program.

As the Tollway begins retrofitting toll plazas and adding highway speed Open Road Tolling lanes for I-PASS customers, SAIC will provide equipment to upgrade its existing violation enforcement system (VES). VES enforces payment of tolls by capturing images of vehicle license plates that drive through toll lanes without paying or without a valid I-PASS. This contract represents one of the largest single VES orders in the toll industry.

"This project is a continuation of our strong relationship with the Illinois Tollway," said Alex J. Preston, general manager of SAIC's Security and Transportation Technology Business Unit. "We worked closely to design a VES system that has helped the Tollway collect an industry-leading $43 million in unpaid tolls and fines over the last three years."

SAIC's TollVision(TM) VES captures the images of license plates of vehicles traveling up to 100 mph and is installed in more than 650 toll lanes throughout the United States. Currently, the Illinois Tollway includes more than 180 lanes of VES with license plate image capture, coupled with SAIC- provided optical character recognition capability, to process more than tens of thousands of violations each day. The TollVision system uses SAIC's Exact Exposure(R) self-adjusting multiple-image camera technology designed to ensure accurate and reliable exposure of the license plate.
