Duos Technologies Awarded Contract from AMTRAK
High Resolution Video Surveillance System for Security and Safety
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 03/28/17 -- Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (OTCQB: DUOT), through its wholly owned subsidiary Duos Technologies, Inc. (together the "Company"), a provider of intelligent analytical technology solutions, has been awarded a contract, valued at $250,000, to furnish and integrate a high-resolution security intelligent video surveillance system ("VSS") at an Amtrak station, located in the Pacific Northwest. The VSS will be utilized by Amtrak station staff, Amtrak Police Department and Amtrak Emergency Management and Corporate Security Staff to ensure a secure and safe environment for all Amtrak personnel and the public. The Company expects to complete this project during the second quarter.
Since its inception, Amtrak has made rail safety a clear priority. This is evident across all organizational sectors and is a mainstay of the Amtrak brand. As security threats have intensified at home and abroad, and particularly since the events of September 11, 2001, Amtrak has aggressively pursued electronic security alerting technologies and practices that support the ever-increasing need for heightened security. Recent intelligence, combined with past attacks against rail and transportation systems abroad, such as the Madrid (Spain) train bombing in 2004, London (England) bombings in 2005, and rail based attempts in France 2015, mean that mass transportation systems, and specifically rail, may be targets for future attacks in the homeland.
"Duostech has been an instrumental part of the security master planning and implementation for this Amtrak campus, which includes the station, the maintenance facility and the interlocking between the two," stated Keith White, Duostech's program manager.
