Sensys Gatso Delivers the Netherlands’ First Customer-Accepted Average Speed Enforcement System, Reinforcing Reputation for Reliability

The project forms part of a nationwide initiative led by the Dutch Ministry of Justice to replace and modernize existing average speed (point-to-point) enforcement systems. Following a competitive tender, four suppliers were selected based on quality and price, with each required to develop, deploy, and gain acceptance for an initial system within a challenging timeframe. Customer acceptance represents a key gateway: vendors that successfully meet all requirements receive first right of selection for the next highway segment and the opportunity to deploy additional systems across the national network. Sensys Gatso CEO, Lew Miller, believes the accomplishment validates the company’s commitment to reliability. “Clients know us for doing what we say without fanfare or drama,” he said. “That we were the first vendor to deliver on every task the Dutch Ministry required, speaks to our commitment to provide clients a pain-free, efficient process.”

Dutch Ministry National Customer Program Manager, Gert Baardman said, “From the very beginning, Sensys Gatso has consistently, calmly, and manageably worked towards this point, which they indicated in the initial planning. That deserves a huge compliment. It made the collaboration very pleasant, goal-oriented, and satisfying.” Sensys Gatso reached customer acceptance in line with the original schedule committed at contract signing, completing the process ahead of the formal customer deadline. This achievement required extensive validation, including more than 300 individual tests to demonstrate compliance with customer-specific requirements, as well as independent type approval confirming the accuracy, integrity and tamper-resistance of the speed measurement technology. By meeting these stringent criteria, Sensys Gatso demonstrated that its planning and delivery timelines were both realistic and dependable.

The first accepted system covers a highway section of more than nine kilometers, selected by the road owner based on detailed traffic data indicating a high incidence of speeding violations. Despite its length, the stretch experiences significant non-compliance, with a substantial proportion of vehicles exceeding the speed limit. The system is designed to address this challenge through high-quality components and evidence capture, key priorities for Dutch authorities seeking to reduce the volume of court cases associated with enforcement by ensuring clear, reliable imagery in a fully automated process. Sensys Gatso’s solution combines proven components with advanced system integration to deliver exceptional image quality and operational efficiency. The deployment uses existing gantries and a prefabricated installation approach to enhance safety by minimizing time spent working on the roadway and reducing disruption for road users. A single camera system covers two lanes, lowering installation complexity compared with traditional one-camera-per-lane configurations and further limiting the need for road closures. The result is a robust, efficient enforcement system that meets demanding technical standards while supporting safer and more reliable highways.

Achieving first customer acceptance also provides a tangible commercial advantage. With this milestone secured, Sensys Gatso is now eligible to deploy additional systems and has been invited to select subsequent enforcement sections, including more complex and large-scale locations. Among these is a major, heavily trafficked section of the Western Ring Road around Amsterdam, illustrating how dependable delivery directly translates into expanded scope within long-term national programs.

This successful deployment reinforces Sensys Gatso’s long-standing approach of committing to achievable schedules and consistently delivering on them. In a market where aggressive promises do not always result in timely outcomes, the Netherlands project stands as a clear example of how reliability, disciplined execution and technical excellence create lasting value for customers and partners alike.
