DALLAS, April 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Visionary program will be world's most sophisticated countrywide approach to traffic management

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. (NYSE: ACS) 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.

"We selected ACS for this innovative program because of its extensive experience in complex transportation technology deployments, photo enforcement systems, and high volume violations processing," said Mohammed Omar Alesayi, Omar Kassem Alesayi Group's president and chief executive officer. "We welcome ACS to our team that will provide the world's most comprehensive countrywide traffic management solution, and look forward to a smooth implementation under ACS' oversight."

As the systems integrator, ACS will manage the deployment of traffic infrastructure technologies that include law enforcement systems, traffic management and command control centers.

"ACS has the deep experience across a multitude of automated traffic technologies that's needed on this complex project," said Michael Huerta, ACS managing director, Transportation Solutions. "Our partnership with Alesayi will enhance the kingdom's traffic infrastructure, resulting in improved public safety and reduced congestion."
