The Traffic Solutions division of 79 Jenoptik has announced it will be supplying over 30 installations, consisting of a mix of fixed, tunnel and mobile speed enforcement applications in the Tsing Ma and Tsing Sha Control Areas.

Recently, the approval authority delegation from Hong Kong visited Jenoptik Robot in Germany to successfully perform a factory acceptance test. Close to 70 tests were performed over a period of five days to ensure the systems fully comply with the specifications in the tender. First delivery is set to take place in the coming weeks and all systems are expected to be in full operation before end of September 2012.

Speed enforcement cameras were introduced in Hong Kong in 1993 and 1999 as trials. Upon review of their effectiveness, it was found that there was a 50 per cent reduction in the number of vehicles in excess of the speed limit by 15 kilometres per hour, and a 40 per cent reduction in the number of traffic accidents involving injuries. In view of its effectiveness and technological progress, speed enforcement camera systems have since been more widely deployed.
