PROVIDENCE, RI–(EMWNews – August 13, 2008) – Nestor, Inc. (
provider of advanced automated traffic enforcement solutions and services,
announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Nestor Traffic Systems,
Inc. (“NTS”), has entered into a contract extension and expansion with the
Delaware Department of Transportation (“DelDOT”) to continue supporting
Delaware’s Electronic Red Light Safety Program.
NTS has been providing services to DelDOT since 2004. With the contract
extension and expansion, DelDOT has committed to an extension of three
years plus a minimum of twenty additional approaches to be protected by
NTS’s patented CrossingGuard® system, which is based on advanced digital
technology and provides unique safety features and advanced client support
capabilities. The contract addendum will expand upon the past four years
of improving intersection safety and reducing the number of red-light
violations throughout the State of Delaware. Since 2004, 16 of the 20
intersections in Delaware that have CrossingGuard® installed have
experienced a decrease in total crashes.
By entering into the contract addendum, DelDOT has illustrated its
confidence that NTS is the only partner to assist DelDOT in its unequalled
commitment to safety. Delaware is currently the only statewide red-light
program in the nation. DelDOT firmly believes that NTS is the proven
vendor of the highest level of technology coupled with an unrivaled
commitment to making intersections safer and offering the best customer
support in the industry. After working with NTS for four years, DelDOT
recognizes that no other competitor could perform the kind of services with
the level of excellence that NTS has consistently demonstrated.
“We are very pleased to continue our relationship with DelDOT. By entering
into a contract extension and expansion with NTS, DelDOT has illustrated
its commitment to ensuring the safety of its citizens and all those who
drive upon its roads. We are honored to be a part of such a commitment and
will continue to provide DelDOT with the best services and support
possible,” said Clarence A. Davis, NTS Chief Executive Officer.
NTS, through its CrossingGuard® product, will continue to provide DelDOT
with the ability to capture multiple frames of red light violations,
providing law enforcement officials with the ability to objectively review
an event and the circumstances under which it occurred. With this level of
fair and objective evidence, officials can be certain that events are
reviewed in the proper context and with the highest level of integrity.
CrossingGuard® has a less than three percent court challenge rate and a
less than one percent overturn rate system-wide.
