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.
