RSS112 Redflex Traffic Systems in the US has announced it is expanding its student safety division with the acquisition of SmartBus Live.
Since 2008, the SmartBus Live safety camera programme has helped school districts and municipalities monitor and deter drivers who illegally pass school buses while the stop arm is deployed. It will now operate under Redflex’s safety camera programme, Redflex Student Guardian.
“SmartBus brings in-depth experience in deploying safety technologies and executing programmes that educate the public about risky driving behaviours,” said Redflex chief executive Karen Finley. “With our combined resources and talent, we will be able to provide school districts with the country’s preeminent automated enforcement solution for school bus safety.”
Former SmartBus Live chief executive Tom O’Connor will lead this new effort as president of Redflex Guardian, a wholly owned subsidiary of Redflex Traffic Systems.
Currently, 10 states permit the use of automated enforcement on school bus stop arms to help protect children as they enter and exit the bus. Additional states are expected to follow suit in the near future.
