79 Jenoptik’s latest traffic safety scheme is a multi-section average speed enforcement scheme located on an 8.3 kilometre road section on the A9 between Lausanne, Switzerland and the French border crossing in the direction of Besançon

The scheme uses a stationary TraffiSection S450 system which allows the classification of eight plus one different vehicles types as well as front and rear photography and enables vehicles with trailers and motorcycles to be monitored.

The whole scheme includes project management, installation of the devices, supervision of subcontractors, documentation and service transfer. Jenoptik began the project in June 2014 and the system has been running since November.

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
