New South Wales government mobile phone detection camera program

Acusensus partnered with the NSW Government to rollout a mobile phone detection camera program. The program went live on the 1st December 2019 with a warning letter phase before going to live enforcement on the 1st March 2020. In the first 3 months of operations, the program was able to detect over 30,000 drivers using their phones whilst driving. According to Transport for NSW the program will progressively expand to perform 135 million vehicle checks annually by 2023.
