With global experience based on more than 30,000 delivered systems worldwide, in-house engineering along with local know-how supported by a strong partner network in more than 80 countries, Jenoptik Light & Safety is promoting a whole range of solutions that it says make lives safer and brighter.

Deterring drivers from illegal behaviours and capturing evidence that allows road authorities to secure prosecutions is a global challenge. The company’s extensive product portfolio includes comprehensive systems for traffic law enforcement (spot speed, average speed, red light monitoring and other violations) including extensive services.

Just recently, Jenoptik secured orders from the US and Canada totalling over US$21 million that help support Vision Zero initiatives. These orders will consist of TraffiStar road safety equipment and Jenoptik’s latest release of the Vector camera platform incorporating deep learning ANPR software and 3D tracking radar.

“Jenoptik is committed to helping improve the safety and security in communities and our solutions represent a step forward to safer cities,” said Dr. Stefan Traeger, Jenoptik president & CEO.

Many crimes include the use of a vehicle. Jenoptik says its solutions, combined with a powerful and intelligent back office system, support authorities in prosecuting and preventing crime efficiently through the use of real-time predictive data analysis.

The company also offers applications such as tolling, Weigh-in-Motion, prohibited vehicle monitoring and congestion charging. Indeed, Jenoptik says it is the first choice for free-flow road user charging applications.

In terms of environmental protection, Jenoptik highlights its smart roadside solutions. Emissions and poor air have a huge impact on the health of citizens. By harmonising speed and improving traffic flow with efficient technologies, emissions can be significantly reduced.
