Highways Presents: Jenoptik and a road safety revolution

05/09/2022 | DOMINIC BROWNE

In the latest Highways Presents, Highways editor Dominic Browne speaks to Geoff Collins, deputy MD of Jenoptik, about the incredible advances in road safety over the last generation brought about by average speed cameras.

In just over 20 years, this systems-based advance in speed monitoring and enforcement has produced stunning results across the UK. Mr Collins reveals exclusive research into the latest figures on how many lives this technology has saved, as well as outlining how, where and why average speed cameras work so well.

He also discusses details of how to achieve home office type approval for such systems, comparisons between criminal and civil traffic enforcement and future innovations in traffic monitoring.
