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.
