Duos Technologies, Inc. Awarded Contract to Harden Sensitive Rail Corridor Through Washington D.C

Business Wire, July 11, 2005

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Duos Technologies, Inc. (Duos) has been awarded a contract to design, manufacture, and install a cutting-edge security system to harden a 7-mile stretch of CSX rail tracks between Reagan National Airport and CSX's Benning Rail Yard in Washington D.C., commonly called the D.C. Corridor. Duos will execute this project with its teaming partner, Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. (Epsilon), the project prime contractor and program manager for the client, which is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The total contract is valued at $9.8 million.

The D.C. Rail Security Corridor (DCRSC) project is the result of vulnerability studies conducted over several months by the DHS, the Federal Railroad Association (FRA), Capitol police and the CSX Public Safety team. The DCRSC Project includes integration of several surveillance technologies, including intelligent video and radio frequency identification (RFID).

During the past two years, Duos developed and deployed several tunnel and bridge security systems for CSX, one of the nation's largest rail transportation systems. The Duos/Epsilon team created security hardening solutions for other critical DHS infrastructure protection projects as well, including buffer zone surveillance systems at chemical plants throughout the country.

"Duos and Epsilon will provide a seamless security curtain around the rail track crossing our Nation's capital. This project is considered a pilot of what will most likely become a guideline to protect our citizens and especially vulnerable critical assets of our transportation infrastructure. The system will include artificial intelligence to detect anomalies along the DCRSC and will simultaneously alert various security teams if our security buffer is compromised. This project will benefit from the participation of a very broad spectrum of security experts including the DHS, law enforcement, the rail industry and our respective teams," said Gianni B. Arcaini, Chief Executive of Duos.
