Acusensus UK
Acusensus are the world leaders in distracted driving enforcement solutions, having invented, patented and delivered the world’s first operational solutions.
The company was founded in 2018, with the objective to develop a practical solution that would help to address the menace of drivers who are distracted by their hand held mobile devices or are not wearing a seatbelt.
The result was the ‘Heads Up’ system, which combines AI software with dedicated imaging and processing hardware, allowing authorities to identify and capture violations, 24/7 and in all weather conditions. Operational solutions are now widely used across Australia with pilots taking place across the globe.
Acusensus continues to grow its presence in the UK market, working collaboratively with AECOM. During the past 12 months, over 100 projects have been carried out across the country using the STV (Sensor Test Vehicle) van, along with six ‘Heads Up’ trailers. To date, 19 UK police forces have used the technology and over half of them have actively prosecuted mobile phone and seatbelt offences.
The first long term, fully enforced project has now started with Devon & Cornwall Police, proving that the solution can be operationally used as part of a road safety strategy – expect to see many more projects soon, changing behaviours and saving lives.
Acusensus has recently been recognised with the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award and the CIHT Road Safety Award.
