110 Raytheon has been selected by 600 Transurban (USA) to deliver an integrated tolling and traffic management system for a 22.5km section of the I-495 Capital Beltway in Northern Virginia. One of the largest highway expansion projects in the US, the Capital Beltway High Occupancy Toll (HOT) project includes adding four lanes to the Beltway and replacing US$260 million of aging infrastructure.

Scheduled to open in late 2012, the roadway will have real-time incident-detection capabilities and a dynamic information messaging system that provides commuters with additional safety information. Raytheon will serve as the systems integrator.
