Acusensus is an organisation founded with a simple but compelling belief, that nobody should die on our roads. We build the technology that detects the Fatal Five dangerous driving behaviours — speeding, mobile phone use, seatbelt non-compliance, fatigue, and drug or alcohol impairment — and supports the enforcement programs that change them. We delivered the world's first mobile phone detection program in New South Wales and the world's first automated mobile device and seatbelt program in Queensland. Today we run 18 long-term contracts across 14 jurisdictions on four continents, working with governments, road authorities and police services to help reduce road trauma.
