Acusensus Secures $1.7 Million Victorian Road Safety Camera Trial

Victorian Government Trials AI Road Safety Cameras

Acusensus Limited (ASX:ACE) has secured a contract worth approximately $1.7 million (excluding GST) to install and test two fixed road safety camera systems on a Victorian freeway. The agreement, signed with the State of Victoria through the Department of Justice and Community Safety, marks a significant validation of Acusensus’s AI-enabled technology in its home market.

The contract covers the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of infrastructure at two nominated test sites. These systems will be capable of enforcing instantaneous and average speed limits, although during the testing phase they will not issue any infringements. Installation is slated for completion by mid-2027.

Contract Terms and Potential Longevity

Initially set for two years, the Test Site Agreement includes options for the Victorian Government to extend the contract up to four additional two-year terms, potentially stretching the partnership to a decade. The majority of the contract value relates to the supply and installation of the infrastructure, underscoring the upfront capital commitment involved.

Acusensus founder and managing director Alexander Jannink expressed enthusiasm about expanding the company’s footprint in Victoria, highlighting the potential for the technology to contribute to road safety improvements over time.

Strategic Fit Amid Growing Contract Wins

This Victorian contract complements Acusensus’s recent surge in revenue and contract wins across multiple jurisdictions. The company has reported a 45% revenue increase to $86.2 million in FY26, driven by major contracts in New Zealand, the US, and domestic expansions. These include a $20 million potential Kentucky work zone enforcement deal and multi-million-dollar extensions in Queensland and New South Wales, reflecting a broadening international and local presence.

While the Victorian deal is focused on testing rather than immediate enforcement, it offers Acusensus a valuable opportunity to demonstrate its technology’s capabilities and build a long-term relationship with a key government client. The outcome could influence future deployments and enforcement contracts within Victoria, a critical market for the company.
