• Customer: Jordan Public Security Directorate
• Objective: Increasing traffic safety in Jordan
• Task: Installation of different types of traffic monitoring systems
• Project period: Six months

Detecting red light violations and speed enforcement: Jenoptik is helping Jordan to improve traffic safety on its busy roads.

Jordan has a lot of traffic, especially in densely populated places such as its capital city Amman. Amman is the country's economic, political and cultural centre and considered one of the most modern Arabian cities. In addition to its 2.3 million inhabitants, the city also attracts Arab and European tourists. To protect people from road accidents and increase traffic safety, Jordan's Public Security Directorate required effective red light and speed enforcement systems.

Project implementation

Within just six months, Jenoptik made, delivered and installed 70 stationary traffic cameras for speed enforcement and 30 systems documenting red light violations. TraffiDesk Pro evaluation software is enabling the Jordanian Public Security Directorate to efficiently process captured data. The systems are easy to operate and are low maintenance. Once installed, they work automatically, keeping personnel costs low.

• Customer: First Joint Group
• Objective: Increased road safety in Kuwait and fewer road accidents
• Task: Production and installation of 100 traffic enforcement systems
• Project period: Very short completion period of just six months

Jenoptik traffic enforcement systems save lives: Fewer accidents thanks to speed enforcement systems.

Kuwait is one of the first Arab countries to have a highly developed road network. However, accidents are high due to speeding and other traffic violations. Kuwait's Ministry of the Interior of Kuwait has therefore been tasked with lowering traffic accidents. The team monitors traffic and documents speeding offences so road users arrive safely at their destinations.

Project implementation

Jenoptik has been a long-term partner to the First Joint Group in Kuwait to help improve traffic safety. Within just six months, our experts made, delivered and installed 60 TraffiTower 2.0, 40 non-invasive measuring systems and 120 external flash units. The traffic cameras and measuring systems are extremely precise, reliable and effective. The First Joint Group is also aiming to prevent traffic congestion and accident black spots by using the installed network and an advanced traffic strategy.

• Customer: Lithuanian Road Administration
• Objective: To increase civil security and simultaneously enforce speed limits
• Task: Combine speed enforcement measurement systems and number plate recognition cameras and integrate them into the existing police infrastructure
• Project period: 12 months

Jenoptik developed a unique concept for the Lithuanian Road Administration to increase civil security and while enforcing speed limits.

The Lithuanian Road Administration are tasked with ensuring roads in Lithuania remain safe. This means its personnel strive to prevent traffic accidents caused by speeding. They also ensure that police can promptly identify and prosecute criminal offences. This requires high-resolution number plate recognition cameras and reliable speed enforcement measuring systems.

Project implementation

Flexible, practical and innovative: Jenoptik combines in single units advanced speed enforcement technologies and automatic number plate recognition. These unique systems then simultaneously meet the needs of different areas. They are able to document speeding offences, identify vehicles wanted by the police, determine a vehicle's current insurance and statutory inspection status – and support the fight against organised crime.

Software processes the data in real time enabling local police to act instantly. The systems are easy to integrate into the existing infrastructure and are intuitive to operate.

• Customer: Singapore Police Force
• Objective: Detecting and preventing red light violations to improve driving and traffic safety in Singapore
• Task: To produce a digital system to meet traffic safety needs in Singapore.
• Project period: 2014–2015

Reliable red light enforcement: The Singapore Police Force is working together with Jenoptik to make its multi-lane roads safer.

Singapore is one of the world's top ten cities attracting the most tourists every year. The city-state has a very advanced economy and highly developed infrastructure. Traffic enforcement systems tailored to local conditions are vital to prevent accidents, especially on busy, multi-lane roads and at junctions. The Singapore Police Force has set itself the goal of detecting and penalising red light violations to increase traffic safety.

Project implementation

Jenoptik made, supplied and installed TraffiStar SR520 systems at 240 different locations across Singapore. These reliably monitor complex, multi-lane junctions, classify vehicles and automatically capture number plates. The TraffiDesk™ Pro software encrypts, transmits and evaluates data in real time. TraffiNet oversees the functioning of the systems.

The Singapore Police Force are penalising red light violations across the city-state which is having a deterrent effect and reducing the number of serious accidents at junctions.

• Customer: City of Toronto and other Ontario districts
• Objective: To increase traffic safety in Toronto and Greater Ontario
• Task: To install and operate more than 200 stationary systems for red light enforcement
• Project period: From 2006

A complete solution for red light enforcement from Jenoptik has resulted in 40 percent fewer traffic accidents in Toronto and its surrounding districts.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada with a population of 2.6 million. Multi-lane roads, complex junction layouts and heavy traffic mean a high risk of accidents. Reliable systems for red light enforcement help increase traffic safety. Cameras automatically process data to accurately detect red light violations.

Project implementation

Jenoptik is involved in the investment, installation and operation of red light systems for the City of Toronto and other districts in Ontario. A professional service team guarantees high system availability as well as the secure transmission and processing of traffic violation data.

More than 300 stationary systems capture red light violations on two sequential photos to provide indisputable evidence of traffic offences. High-resolution cameras are able to capture up to four lanes of traffic simultaneously and deliver high-quality images – day and night thanks to external flash units. Jenoptik's in-house TraffiDesk™ Pro software enables highly efficient data evaluation.

Since the start of the joint project, accident rates at traffic junctions using red light enforcement has fallen by 40 percent. The project with Jenoptik has therefore been extended with a doubling of the number of traffic cameras.
