7020 PAT-Traffic, 69 International Road Dynamics’ wholly-owned subsidiary in Santiago, Chile has been awarded the renewal of a contract by Direccion Nacional de Vialidad, 7820 MOP Chile, for the maintenance and service of IRD-PAT automated truck weigh stations installed by IRD.

The contract, valued at approximately US$3.1 million, includes the maintenance and service of twenty-five IRD-PAT Chile weigh stations installed throughout the country over the next four years. It is a renewal of a contract held by PAT Traffic Chile since 1998 through numerous renewals. Throughout this period and the renewal process, the contracts have included upgrades to the latest advances in truck inspection processes and technologies.

IRD says PAT Traffic Chile's expertise and experience in providing and maintaining WIM systems provides the customer with a complete package of service from one vendor. PAT Traffic Chile offers the design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance of weigh-in-motion, traffic data, toll, automatic access control and other complementary ITS systems.

The IRD-PAT service support team has over twenty years of technical and customer service experience and is able to manage all operational and technical needs to maintain the station fully operational during the term of the contract.

Terry Bergan, IRD's president and chief executive officer commented: "We are very proud to be extending our long term relationship with the MOP as they implement the latest technologies in an already very advanced truck enforcement program based on IRD's industry-leading technologies.  Our Chilean subsidiary continues to expand its presence throughout Latin America, and we look for further growth going forward."
