Prince George’s County, the second largest county in Maryland, USA is to receive 66 speed enforcement systems from Jenoptik Smart Mobility Solutions.
Each system consists of a mobile trailer with solar panels and lithium batteries, as well as Jenoptik’s Vector SR camera with radar sensor to identify speeding drivers up to 186mph.
Full service operation including maintenance will be managed by local Jenoptik staff from their office in Prince George’s County.
The contract has an estimated value in the mid to high single-digit million dollar range and delivery is scheduled to start in late spring 2024.
Major Anthony Cline, Prince George’s County Police Department, said: “Our number one goal is to reduce speed in high-risk spans of roadways, and to eliminate fatal and severe crashes by 2040.
“In addition to placing cameras on our highly-traveled roadways like MD-210, which averages five fatalities per year, our residential speed enforcement programme will be expanding as well.
“As new locations are identified, and designated as enforcement zones, additional cameras will be installed. We are confident our partnership will result in a safer Prince George’s County.”
The county’s automated enforcement programme was launched in August 2011 and consists of various cameras that are deployed at different locations, such as in school zones and work zones.
The 66 systems that Jenoptik will deliver will be placed at designated locations to cover various potentially hazardous areas.
