TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading global provider of intelligent transportation system ("ITS") solutions, today announced a $5.2 million contract to deploy its Next Generation Toll Lane System on a major U.S. express lane corridor.

"By combining machine learning-powered vehicle detection, real-time data, and cloud technology, we're helping agencies deliver safer, faster, and more reliable travel for every driver while creating a smarter, more adaptable tolling system for the state."

Key enhancements of the Next Generation Toll Lane System include:

• Machine Learning & Automation – Machine learning and advanced sensors for highly accurate automated vehicle detection, classification and trip building.
• Cloud Migration – Modern, secure back-office infrastructure enabling scalable operations and simplified maintenance.
• Dynamic Pricing – Express lane tolls that automatically adjust based on live traffic conditions to maintain free-flow speeds.
• Upgraded Readers & Cameras – High-definition imaging and sensor technology for precise, real-time monitoring.

This initiative reinforces Quarterhill's commitment to helping agencies modernize tolling infrastructure, reduce congestion, and improve roadway safety.
