Australia represents Acusensus’ most mature market. We are committed to enhancing road safety across Australia through our advanced technology and dedicated programs.
In 2019, Acusensus pioneered the world’s first illegal mobile phone use enforcement camera program in New South Wales. This program has continued successfully through 2023/24, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to road safety and innovation. This initiative has been expanded in 1 July 2024 to include seatbelt enforcement.
Acusensus also runs a Mobile Speed Camera program in NSW, utilising Acusensus Harmony solutions.
In mid-2021, Acusensus launched an innovative enforcement camera program in Queensland to detect both illegal mobile phone use and seatbelt non-compliance. This program, the first of its kind globally, uses fixed and trailer-based Heads-Up solutions to capture clear, prosecutable evidence 24/7 in all weather conditions.
Acusensus also has a contract to utilise Acusensus Harmony TS1 transportable solutions for anywhere, anytime speed enforcement across regional, rural and metropolitan QLD. This initiative commenced in 2023 and are still in operation.
Announced on 8 January 2024, with operations starting on 19 June 2024, Acusensus began a program in South Australia with the Heads-Up solution to detect illegal mobile phone use while driving across the state.
In February 2023, Acusensus launched a program in the ACT deploying mobile device detection cameras to combat distracted driving from mobile phone use. This initiative aligns with the ACT Government’s Vision Zero strategy, aiming for no deaths or serious injuries on Canberra’s roads.
In July 2022, Acusensus embarked on a groundbreaking road safety initiative with the Western Australia Police (WAPOL) and the WA Road Safety Commission (RSC). This seven-month trial introduced Australia’s first full multi-function solution which was capable of enforcing point-to-point speed, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), spot speed, seatbelt non-compliance and distracted driving and delivered both in metropolitan and regional roads, including the Wheatbelt, Mid-West, South-West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia.
