German traffic solutions manufacturer, 79 Jenoptik, which has already successfully installed systems in several Middle East states, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia, is to equip a further 600 sites in Oman with their latest speed and red-light monitoring systems.

They will also provide assistance with planning, carry out training, upgrade existing systems, supply and install software for an efficient incident processing centre and support the commissioning process.

The order, received by Jenoptik from 6570 Waleed Associates and the Royal Oman Police, includes stationary speed enforcement systems based on the latest radar technology and fitted with the high-resolution Jenoptik 2185 Robot SmartCamera IV. The system provides accurate results across several lanes and operates inside specially air-conditioned modern housings.  The systems to be installed at the red light monitoring sites utilise the company’s 3-D tracking sensor, which can simultaneously monitor several vehicles and lanes and which can record both red-light and speed violations simultaneously.
