Quarterhill Expands Intelligent Transportation Solutions in Djibouti and Asia

Quarterhill Inc., a prominent player in the intelligent transportation system (ITS) sector, has recently taken significant strides to enhance roadway safety and efficiency across various international markets. On August 5, 2025, the company announced its latest achievements in Djibouti, South Korea, and Thailand, showcasing its innovative weigh-in-motion (WIM) solutions designed to address specific transportation needs.

New Developments in Djibouti

Quarterhill's deployment in Djibouti marks the company's inaugural venture into the region, indicating its commitment to expanding its portfolio in East Africa. This project includes a sophisticated overweight enforcement solution that utilizes both high-speed and slow-speed weigh-in-motion technologies. The system features two high-speed lanes equipped with bending plate sensors for initial vehicle assessments, alongside six slow-speed lanes dedicated to verifying suspected overweight vehicles.

The enforcement infrastructure boasts state-of-the-art technology, including iSINC-based electronics, integrated license plate readers, and barrier gates, all managed through a centralized control room. Furthermore, the WIM software has been customized to support the French language and improve citation tracking across multiple workstations. This multi-tiered approach not only facilitates efficient traffic flow but also ensures precise enforcement of weight regulations.

This Djibouti project is part of a broader World Bank-funded infrastructure upgrade, showcasing Quarterhill's collaborative efforts with local partners such as Danway Emirates LLC and HAWK International Construction Djibouti, SARL.

Strengthening Presence in Established Markets

In addition to its initiatives in Djibouti, Quarterhill's continued success in established markets is evidenced by the recent repeat orders from Thailand and South Korea. These contracts underscore the proven reliability of Quarterhill's WIM systems, with transportation agencies expanding their use of the Single Load Cell and Bending Plate WIM technologies. The repeat business is a testament to the strong performance of Quarterhill's solutions in high-traffic environments as they deliver exceptional accuracy through full-tire footprint contact.

Designed for long-term durability, Quarterhill's weigh-in-motion systems demonstrate remarkable temperature stability and dependable performance under heavy traffic conditions. This makes them particularly well-suited for both monitoring and regulatory enforcement across varying operational settings.

Chuck Myers, Chief Executive Officer of Quarterhill, expressed his enthusiasm for the recent accomplishments in Djibouti, South Korea, and Thailand, stating, "These recent achievements highlight the growing demand for our innovative weigh-in-motion technologies in diverse markets around the world. We are proud to partner with governments and agencies that share our commitment to improving roadway safety and efficiency. By offering highly reliable and customizable solutions, Quarterhill continues to deliver meaningful value to transportation networks globally."
