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.”
