Redflex Holdings provides vehicle monitoring and enforcement services for government, police, and traffic departments globally.
Redflex develops and manufactures a wide range of digital photo enforcement products and systems, utilizing advanced sensor and image capture technologies. Redflex products include fixed multi-lane, multi-sensor red light and speed enforcement, mobile radar and laser speed enforcement systems and infringement processing software.
Redflex has programs to deter red light running, speeding, passing stopped school buses, crossing railroad tracks while the alarm is active, running stop signs, unauthorized vehicles driving, vehicular theft, stopping in bus lanes, speeding in highway work zones, speeding in an intersection running a red light, and travelling down a sidewalk when a pedestrian is present. Redflex also has technology used to help prevent crashes by red light runners.
Redflex operates primarily in Australia and the United States of America, and was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in January 1997. Redflex Holdings consists of two distinct companies; Redflex Traffic Systems Pty. Ltd. covering Australia and global operations and Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. covering the US market. The company works with partners in other countries, such as ChinaTel Group in the People's Republic of China. Redflex is based in South Melbourne, Victoria where it runs its systems engineering operation as well as its system integration and research and development programs.
In 2011, Redflex was the subject of a failed A$303.5 million hostile takeover bid by the Macquarie Group and Carlyle Group.
Opposition to traffic enforcement cameras owned by Redflex has resulted in their removal in some American cities in Texas and California.
