Jenoptik Expands Traffic Safety System in Canada

Jenoptik AG has reported that its Traffic Solutions Division received the order to continue and to expand the operation of digital camera systems for red-light monitoring in Canada.

A new contract between the Jenoptik subsidiary Traffipax LLC and the City of Toronto, Ontario, will continue 10 years of successful cooperation from 2017 onward. The contract will run for a period of five years starting on Jan. 1, 2017 and includes an optional extension for another five years. Negotiations will be started soon with seven other municipalities in Canada’s Ontario province, Jenoptik said.

In the City of Toronto, Jenoptik will install 79 additional digital camera systems for red-light monitoring until the end of this year. Under the new series of agreements, the scope of supply is expected to increase to about 250 systems with the other municipalities participating. These systems will be used for replacing existing sites as well as for establishing additional ones. According to Jenoptik, the contract value for the first five years totals an amount in the mid double-digit million euro range.
