Jenoptik secures traffic safety equipment orders totaling over 24 million USD in North America

(PresseBox) (Jena, )
Jenoptik, a global photonics group, has received traffic safety equipment orders in the first quarter of 2021 totaling over 24M USD (approx. 20M euros) in the US and Canada. These help supporting Vision Zero initiatives and keeping communities safer.

The orders consist of existing road safety equipment as well as Jenoptik’s latest release of the VECTOR camera platform. The new VECTOR camera platform was developed as a complementary enforcement device for the measurement of instantaneous speed detection and combined high performance ALPR/ANPR (“Automated License/Number Plate Recognition”). In locations where vehicle speeds need to be managed over a short distances, VECTOR provides a practical and cost effective solution, allowing those responsible for road safety to address collision hot spots.

“As a supplier of road safety and public security solutions, Jenoptik is committed to supporting Vision Zero and improving the safety and security in communities around the world. Our road safety solutions represent a step forward in safer cities with our traffic enforcement technology. We are happy to be able to contribute with our solutions to more traffic safety in North America,” said Dr. Stefan Traeger, Jenoptik President & CEO.

Vision Zero is a multi-national road traffic safety project that sets key road safety objectives and initiatives, focusing on lowering fatalities and serious injuries while encouraging shared responsibility for road safety, thus making communities safer. “From large metropolises to small towns, increasing numbers of municipalities have committed to Vision Zero in the US. We are seeing an increase in transportation departments, public health and other public officials such as mayors' offices stepping up and leading initiatives to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities thus increasing public safety”, says Stefan Traeger.
