The City of Toronto, Canada, has awarded 79 Jenoptik’s Traffic Solutions division an order to continue its red light monitoring program and to expand it in the Greater Toronto area. The contract, which extends one awarded ten years ago, will run for five years from January 2017, also includes an optional extension for a further five years and a centralised back office system.. Jenoptik will shortly begin negotiations with seven other municipalities in Canada’s Ontario province.

Jenoptik had already installed more than 200 red light systems under the existing program. These will now be upgraded and Jenoptik will install 79 new digital camera systems in the city by the end of this year. Under the agreement, the scope of supply is expected to increase to about 250 systems with the other municipalities participating.

The new systems will use an Ontario-specific variant of Jenoptik’s TraffiStar SR520 digital red-light monitoring systems, allowing a combination of speed and red light monitoring at intersections over up to four traffic lanes, using in-road loop detection. All systems will be equipped with SmartCameras, designed and manufactured by Jenoptik which capture at least two high-resolution images to document incidents occurring at an intersection.
