79 Jenoptik’s traffic solutions division has received a major order for systems and equipment for traffic monitoring from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The customer is Dallah Trans Arabia, located in Jeddah, and the scope of supply includes several hundred stationary systems for monitoring red light and speed violations. About 100 systems for mobile and stationary speed monitoring as well as a comprehensive software solution of Jenoptik have already been in use in Saudi Arabia since last year. The total equipment order, exceeding US$28 million, will be delivered and installed through this year and next.

Jenoptik is supplying equipment for the Saudi Arabian ATVAM project (Automated Traffic Violations Administering and Monitoring) which is considered to be the largest and technically most ambitious single project ever in the history of traffic law enforcement worldwide. Over the next years the project aims at substantially reducing the number of killed or injured people on Saudi Arabia’s roads.

During the competitive tender for this major project, the Jenoptik division benefitted from its leading market position and won out over numerous competitors. A key component of the systems ordered are the 3D Tracking Radar Sensors which have been recently developed by Jenoptik. These non-invasive sensors can simultaneously monitor several lanes for speed and red light violations.
