79 Jenoptik’s Traffic Solutions is to operate mobile speed enforcement systems in New South Wales, Australia, under a major contract awarded by the Australian 6722 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for a new traffic safety program by the RMS designed to increase speed enforcement in New South Wales from six to around 45 mobile vehicles, delivering 7,000 enforcement hours each month.

The contract, which has been awarded to two companies, is worth around US$33.5 million over three years.

Jenoptik’s Australian subsidiary DCD Systems will provide equipment and enforcement services under the contract.  Jenoptik will be paid based on the number of hours of enforcement carried out. Revenue from the speed infringements will go into the Australian Community Road Safety Fund to fund further traffic safety programs, including in the vicinity of schools. Deliveries will start this year, with the full program of 7,000 monitoring hours to be delivered by early 2014.

“We support the objective of the Australian authorities to increase traffic safety in the region”, says Michael Mertin, CEO of Jenoptik, “and we welcome the specific use of the proceeds for further traffic safety programs.”

When it comes to dealing with the effects of mother nature, transport agencies can find themselves in a lose-lose situation: criticised if the roads or rail lines are disrupted by snow, ice or floods for more than a few hours and lambasted for wasting money if the equipment and stockpiles put in place for a hard winter remain unused.
