METHODS AND APPROACH
Program Overview
We understand that traffic safety is a significant concern to the City. As the global leader in traffic safety Redflex takes pride in continuing to
provide services which increase road safety for our community partners. We have been proud to work with the City in the past to save lives and
look forward to continuing this relationship with the City and law enforcement. Redflex is prepared to continue to provide a turn-key, all-inclusive
program including fixed red light systems and mobile speed systems.
Payment Process
Redflex will invoice the City every 30 days for the charges laid out in the Schedule of Rates and Cost by Task.
REDFLEXred® – Red Light Enforcement System Equipment
REDFLEXred® is a highly secure red light violation detection system.
Our automated enforcement systems are manufactured installed
and maintained by Redflex and come with a wide variety of
hardware and software configurations depending on specific
approach and intersection requirements. Redflex equipment is
capable of setting different tolerances for red light violations which
will insure that the system does not activate on violations below the
tolerances set by the City. If a vehicle is detected, an image is taken
of the vehicle with a close-up of the license plate and a 12-second
video for review and processing.
Our equipment is capable of
monitoring up to four lanes of
traffic, including turn lanes
and is capable of monitoring
up to nine signal phases
simultaneously. Regardless of
varying weather, temperature
or lighting conditions, Redflex
systems will reliably capture
violations.
Detection Method
Redflex systems have successfully been deployed with inductive loops in thousands of installations
across the globe, including the City’s fixed approaches as part of the current program. Our experience has proven that loops deliver results that
are comparable to a radar detection method. The functionality of the inductive-loops has been reliable and we continue to experience consistent
detections with this technology.
Our experience coupled with our Redflex designed and manufactured
Digital Loop Card (DLC), the fastest processing loop card in the world,
allows us to engineer a greater degree of flexibility with respect to actual
loop placement to ensure no interference or “cross-talk” with any existing
City loop-based traffic controls. Inductive loops use the presence of
vehicles and time-over-distance calculations to activate our digital
cameras. Redflex loops can be placed in various configurations and sizes,
and in between existing “City loops”.
As the system is currently installed with the City, it is available any time for
a demonstration of its capabilities.

Mobile Photo Radar Speed Enforcement – REDFLEXspeed®
Our mobile REDFLEXspeed® system is a portable, flexible radar
speed enforcement solution that can be deployed in school
zones, municipal and rural areas, as well construction zones.
Additionally, REDFLEXspeed® provides substantial surveillance
capabilities in a light, mobile, self-contained system. The systems
would be deployed and operated our fully trained City personnel.
The REDFLEXspeed® enforcement system can simultaneously
monitor up to four lanes of traffic. While the deployment options,
such as speed threshold for speed zones, storage capacity, the
City will have access to the system for on-site modifications.
The mobile photo radar speed enforcement unit has digital
cameras, central processing units, SMARTcam™ software,
wireless communication, radar detection, and flashes. The system is proven technology and is
suitable for all weather conditions including temperature extremes (-40C to 40C), rain, snow, freezing
rain, hail, fog, darkness, shadows and bright sunlight ensuring minimal downtime.
The speed enforcement system operates with one or more integrated digital cameras. The mobile
speed system will also be a full High Definition (HD) camera to record a video of the incident.
Redflex will supply two (insert make and model) fully equipped with our enforcement system and the
vehicles will be replaced every two years. The enforcement equipment will be replaced on an as
needed basis.
Detection Methods
Redflex radar detection systems are accurate to +1/-1 mph and provide the most accurate and dependable speed readings of any speed
detection system on the market. Redflex is the only vendor that we are aware of that provides a secondary speed reading to verify the detected
speed for every single violation that is recorded. If the readings don’t match, the incident is automatically rejected. This undisputable and
verifiable technology should be incredibly important to the City, because just one false speed reading can bring disrepute to a City’s program.
REDFLEXspeed® systems utilize two radars. The primary radar tracks vehicle speed across four traffic lanes 195 times per second. The
secondary radar confirms the speed reading of the primary radar plus identifies which lane the speeding vehicle is in resulting in positive
identification of the violating vehicle. The dual radar also allows for multiple speeders in either direction to be detected at the same time. The
dual confirmation of speed readings between the two radars virtually eliminates the false reads single radar systems can have with radar
reflection. All of these features are attributed to proprietary algorithms developed by Redflex exclusively for use in our systems. The
REDFLEXspeed® dual radar system provides:
Bi-frequency ranging radar system to provide accurate lane and distance information
Power envelope matching to ensure consistency of information
Log of power/speed/distance info for every violation for review at a later stage
Third level redundant measurement – taking two pictures of the offending vehicle separated by a specified time interval
Video clip of each offending vehicle for additional information and review
High-resolution camera and lens with Redflex proprietary illumination systems to provide the highest possible level of vehicle
identification and prosecution
Unlike laser systems that must be mounted low to the ground, meaning vehicles in lanes further away can be blocked by vehicles traveling
close to the system, our radar is mounted higher due to its wide vertical beam, which enables all lanes to be enforced despite traffic
obstructions.

Concurrent and Multiple Incident Verification Support Tool
Our Offending Vehicle Identification System (OVIS) is a radar-based system that captures images with multiple vehicles. The vehicle indicator
image overlay technology provides a means to visually identify the offending vehicle in these images. The OVIS utilizes the speed and position
information obtained from the dual radars, as well as
timing information from the camera, to determine the
position of the vehicle at image capture time. As a
vehicle passes through the radar beam, detection
points occur at different parts of the radar beam. The
information from these detection points are used to
optimize computation of the offending vehicle position
with respect to the radar and camera system. Finally,
3-D to 2-D perspective transformation is performed to
map out the position of the reported offending vehicle
in the real world to its position in an image. Presented
here are several sample images of incidents with
multiple vehicles in the image that further attests to
the ability to capture multiple concurrent and different
lane violators.
We have thoroughly tested our systems against the
effects of license plate covers, prism covers and
photo sprays (photo blocker) that are intended to hide
or blowout the license plate image. Our tests have
conclusively shown that such sprays and covers are
ineffective against our systems.
System Features
Redflex systems have been developed for the highest level of enforcement accuracy and community safety. The following system features will
be available for all Redflex’s products, unless noted otherwise.
Tamper-, Vandal, and Weather-Resistant Enclosures
Our NK6 enclosures used for the red light systems are tamper-, vandal-, and weather-resistant lockable
housings. The camera housing units are designed to preserve the overall effectiveness of the program’s
operation and to protect the camera units from extreme weather conditions and vandalism, ensuring minimal
“downtime” and easy maintenance. Each housing and pole system is professionally engineered and built to
industrial standards from the ground-up.
Our camera unit housing is designed to be weather-, bullet-, dust-, water- and spray-resistant. This housing
is securely lockable and is pole-mounted. Each housing and pole system is professionally engineered and
built to industrial standards, including:
Weather-, ballistic-, and vandalism-resistant enclosures built to the standards of the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
Waterproof (salt and freshwater) and dustproof IP65 enclosure, with sealed access panel.
Built from stainless steel or toughened aluminum; zinc-dipped and powder-painted in a neutral
color or one desired by the City to match existing street furnishings
Doubled-walled for extra protection and heat convection
Equipped with shrouds that allow rotation and pivoting on the pole for optimal alignment
Tightly locked into place with eight guide bolts that are securely covered by another shroud to prevent tampering. These can only
be accessed from within the housing. The housing locks are fashioned from toughened steel with the single key engaging the
three-way bolts
Camera units are easily reachable without the utilization of lifts (bucket trucks) and we have successfully deployed systems that
include automated raising and declining mechanisms, which utilize “garage door” engines and controls
Fitted with polycarbonate, National Institute of Justice (N1J) standard, ballistic-resistant, protective material and a 19mm-thick,

ballistic-resistant glass shield
Our camera units can effectively utilize much of the City’s existing infrastructure, if desired, thereby minimizing required hardware
and encroachments
Barring knockdowns, vandalism, and unforeseen acts of nature, our equipment will be functional over 98% of the year. Scheduled system
maintenance downtimes have been included in this calculation.
Single Time Source
Redflex patented technology allows us to use multiple cameras, synchronized to a single time source. By using multiple photos (scene and
plate) you get the best resolution for both a wide angle shot (scene) and a close up shot (plate) but only if you can “sync” the photos to the
same time source to ensure the evidence remains intact. Redflex ensures that violations are legally defensible because we can guarantee that
the photos captured are all part of the same incident packet by looking at the timestamp. This is not standard practice in the marketplace.
The data bar provides confirmation of the synchronization of the time stamps to a single time source (these images are setup to capture two
images “simultaneously” from two different cameras). This method allows Redflex to capture images from different angles without sacrificing
image quality from other critical shots.
All of Redflex’s cameras are connected to the same time clock and sync from an internet based NTP provider. The time is then applied through
the network and onto CCU devices through NTP protocol.
Light Meter
All products contained within this proposed program all use a Redflex proprietary light meter table. This system will monitor local conditions and
adjust accordingly to all ambient weather and lighting conditions. Our imaging unit’s operation leads the industry as microprocessor controlled
and fully automatic. This system:
Monitors ambient light for specific time of day applications for camera metering
o A look-up table is incorporated to override the natural light meter function which shuts down aperture settings during certain
lighting conditions. The light meter lookup table is approach specific. Light metering data is based on a timetable to ensure
required aperture settings are applied to obtain desired results.
Focusing is accomplished by optimizing depth of field conditions for specific image capturing sequences.
Each camera’s field of view is optimized by ensuring each detected vehicle captured in its lane of travel falls within the depth of field of the
camera (based on the least forgiving lighting conditions, aperture settings, and image exposure settings). This is done by using the detected
vehicle speed to anticipate the specific location of the vehicle in the roadway and timing the image capturing and synchronized flash to ensure
proper focus is maintained, while applying the dynamic light metering settings for the conditions.
Signal Head Phase Detection
Redflex red light equipment provides a reliable signal phase detection method
that is optically isolated from the signal operation. We are able to meet this
requirement in the following ways:
For those applications in which our client desires a non-intrusive
method of signal phase detection, Redflex is able to provide a Traffic
Light Interface Module (TLIM). The TLIM is placed in the junction box
closest to the controller that has access to the signal field wiring. A
clamp style inductive coil will be placed on each phase to be
monitored. The TLIM will be powered by the Redflex system via
12VDC through a CAT 5e cable
Direct connection to the field output with 5 amp inline fuse and opto-
isolators mounted in our equipment for isolation
The Redflex system is flexible in its ability to monitor traffic phases, and the
Redflex team will work with the appropriate agency to provide a method that
meets their specific requirements. A non-intrusive video phase detection system
is available when other options cannot be implemented.
We can obtain access through either the signal controller or the junction box closest to the controller that has access to the signal field wiring.
The City can decide which access point best suits their needs. If necessary, the work can be completed by an electrical contractor licensed to

Example 1: Photos Taken Using Only a Digital Zoom
Example 2: Cameras Setup with an Optical Zoom. Redflex cameras utilize an Optical
Zoom, allowing for crisper images with a lower MP camera
work in the jurisdiction. This system can be an alternative wireless option to existing, directly wired and inductively coupled systems for
detection.
Superior Image Quality – Best in the Industry
Redflex prides itself on capturing the highest quality images in the industry. Redflex has invested numerous resources in manufacturing our own
technology and working closely with major camera manufacturers to customize their technology to our specifications. While the configurations
for photo enforcement systems are customized to the individual client and location, you will be able to see that Redflex provides our clients with
the best image quality on the market.
Sample incident images for all product types have been included in Appendix A. If additional incident conditions are desired (either product,
time of day or weather condition), please contact us.
License Plate Covers
We have thoroughly tested our systems against the effects of license plate covers, prism covers and photo sprays (photo blocker) that are
intended to hide or blowout the license plate image. Our tests have conclusively shown that such sprays and covers are ineffective against our
systems.
Multi-Camera System
Redflex has a wide range of customized, digital, state-of-the-art camera systems that can be arranged in several ways to maximize enforcement
effectiveness for any given location, be it a standard or anomalous configuration. For this contract, Redflex intends on utilizing a combination of
digital, high-resolution, industrial-grade cameras with resolution ranging up to 24 megapixels, depending on location and configuration.
It is a common misconception that higher megapixel cameras always provide better quality images. Some vendors will state that the
highest megapixel count is always best; this is inaccurate and misleading information. Redflex has a strong technical understanding of applying
the right number of pixels to an intended target in order to achieve the best image quality, therefore not always requiring a camera with the
highest megapixel count. The key to clear images is pixels on target. The REDFLEXred® multiple-camera system allows trained technicians to
configure the field of view of each camera to maximize the pixel density of each still image. This results in as much as a 500 percent increase in
pixel density in areas of interest such as vehicle license plates. There are two different types of zooming that are commonly used in the photo
enforcement industry, the first is optical zoom and the second is digital zoom. Optical zoom is a function of the lens (optically magnifying the
image before the image is captured), and digital zoom is a function of a computer or computer algorithm (post-processed after the image is
taken). If you have a 10 MP camera and take a photo there are 10 million pixels that make up that image. If you zoom in optically, you still have
a 10 MP shot. If you zoom in digitally (by
“cropping” the original photo for example) you
end up with an image with 1/10th the resolution.
Dynamic Pixel Utilization (DPU) is a superior
solution to achieving image clarity in certain
conditions such as low light environments or
large intersections. Our patented technology
allows us to use multiple cameras, synchronized
to a single time source. Our high-quality digital
camera system provides prosecutable color
images in all weather conditions, 24 hours a
day. One or more images can be configured to
be taken at a set distance, in centimeters, or
time, in milliseconds, from the point of detection.
The minimum rate of image capture for a typical
installation, taking into consideration the flash
recharge rate is approximately 300 milliseconds.

Amber Timing Monitoring
In addition to displaying the length of time the amber phase was active in the data bar, we can also program red light systems to reject any
violations when the amber timing is below a specific threshold. This can reduce the volume of “out-of-spec” violations the Police need to review
and reject. Our system can also automatically alert us to when an amber timing is below its threshold time. We can then inform the City of the
issue so it can be corrected quickly.
Video Incident Capture
While the digital still cameras are recording a violation, a video camera will record up to 12 seconds of the violation at 30 fps. Incidents
captured with the hand held units will also include a short video clip recorded at up to 24 fps. While the video duration is customizable our
experience has proven that an up to 12-second clip is the optimal duration. This provides sufficient video to observe the incident while keeping
the incident pack small enough for a quick transfer back to the data center. Our system does not require the manual replacement of film and/or
data storage as may be required with other vendor’s products.
Concurrent and Rapid Sequential Incident Capture
Redflex technology is designed to capture concurrent and quickly occurring sequential violations. Our Redflex designed flash has a rapid
recharge to capture incident images quickly and our software algorithms allow image sharing between two sequential incidents. For example, if
Scene B from incident #1 could be used as Scene A for incident #2, that image would then be used for two separate incidents. Each incident
will be created with a unique data bar for the image containing elements for each particular incident.
This proprietary and state-of-the-art technology allows Redflex to have no latency time between the primary camera and the secondary camera,
enabling Redflex to capture multiple incidents when most competitor systems would only be able to capture one. This is because our system is
able to capture multiple incidents using only one set of photos. Redflex has configured our systems to “share” images when a consecutive event
occurs within a specific time frame. In return Redflex is able to capture and identical image that has two different sets of data applied to it.
Redflex is the only one in the photo enforcement industry that has this technology.

Violation Processing
To ensure all evidence is accurate and of the highest quality, each potential violation is subjected to three distinct levels of verification and
quality control. The following graphic visually represents a sample incident process from incident occurrence to court hearing. Redflex
applications are compatible with Internet Explorer 9.0 and higher, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. City personnel will be able to access our
applications using iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, laptops and desktops; providing highly desirable end user flexibility.
Verification Review Phase 1
In the Verification Review Phase 1 phase, a trained Redflex associate will extract the original “raw” images, video and violation data and
commence the review process, which includes:
Reviewing of all the photographic evidence, including:
o Multiple high-resolution still images
o Full-motion video
Confirming that a prosecutable violation has occurred that meets the criteria developed by the PD
Zooming/cropping images, lightening or darkening for clarity
Extracting (using OCR) or manually entering the license plate information
The image clarity, including:
o A clear and unobstructed license plate
City of Fort Collins, Colorado
Traffic Camera System
RFP No. 8363

o Violation information, such as location and date
Verification Review Phase 2
In Verification Review Phase 2, a trained specialist will complete the following steps:
Review the photo and video evidence clarity and meets violation processing criteria as defined by the Business Rules
Verify owner information including vehicle make/model
Match against the screening guidelines developed by the PD
The process is fully automated between Phase 1 and 2 and eliminates the physical data entry process.
Registered Vehicle Owner Lookup
Redflex is set up to automatically obtain the majority of vehicle registration and driver’s license
information directly from the National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (NLETS), which
provides real-time DMV information for all 50 states. This strategic partnership allows Redflex to get
the most up-to-date and accurate information available.
If multiple registration data is returned to Redflex, the incident is sent to a specialist, who will review all available information including rear
license plates, vehicle make, model and year. Once all information is reviewed, the trained specialist will make the proper determination of the
appropriate registration information to use.
In the event that a citation is returned due to an incorrect address, Redflex has access to LexisNexis® Accurint® which is an additional motor
vehicle registration look up service. Accurint® provides Redflex direct access to public records in order to obtain an alternate address that is not
listed with a DMV. When a program is initially defined, the City can determine if they would elect to have Redflex research an alternate address
for those citations that are returned or if that would be handled by the local law enforcement. As the Redflex systems are highly customizable,
this is another service that we make available to our clients.
Verification Review Phase 3
Upon completion of Phase 2, Redflex provides one additional level of review, Verification Review Phase 3. This final review and confirmation
ensures that the initial two reviews adhered to the City-approved guidelines and processes as depicted in the Business Rules. Once the incident
passes through Phase 3, it is forwarded to the PD for final review and authorization.
All violations that are rejected at any phase of the three-step review process are reviewed daily by a Redflex analyst. The Redflex analyst is
responsible for correcting any mistakes that are identified and then providing feedback to the processing team. The shift supervisors will
provide ongoing training to the processors, thus adding an additional, continuous improvement phase to our processing. All incidents, whether
approved or rejected are made available to the City for review.
Violation Authorization
Redflex electronically stores and makes available all still images, digital video files, and associated incident and registered owner data to our
“Violation Authorization” module (VA). Application access is completely secure, using robust user management and internet security protocols.
VA is a web based application that can be accessed using any computer with internet capability and does not require any additional software to
be installed.
Upon login to the VA application, an inbox will appear containing all violations, sorted by date, that have passed QA; have matching and
accurate driver’s license detail; and have met the specific screening guidelines and business rules developed specifically for the City. All
violations in the inbox are available for review, rejection or final authorization. Choosing one of the violations in the inbox will pull up all the
violation images and specific violation details for easy and prompt review.
Once the specific violation is clicked in the inbox a fast-loading, informative and intuitive violation review screen will appear. In approximately
20-25 seconds, all incident images, video and data can be reviewed and make an informed assessment to determine if a citation should be
authorized, printed and mailed by Redflex. They will also have the ability to change the license plate images if there is a better one available.

VA also allows the user to view thumbnails of each raw image at the same time, and the zoomed cropped license plate image will appear in the
“Plate” field by placing the cursor over that field of view. With a single click each image will expand to a larger view, also allowing a “Full screen”
view.

All-Inclusive Redflex Services
Redflex is pleased to offer the City an all-inclusive suite of services designed and implemented to guarantee the City’s photo enforcement
program generates excellent customer service and eliminates the need for constant City intervention. Redflex does this by creating all
applications and performing all functions of the program in-house.
Printing and Mailing
Upon “acceptance” of a violation, the system automatically queues the information and
violation images for citation printing and mailing.
Redflex will mail approved citation with a return envelope by first class mail and will bear the
cost of postage. Each notice will display a digital signature of the Police Officer who authorized
the citation and will be printed on high quality, perforated paper – allowing for ease of response
by violators.
Currently, Redflex takes less than 5.5
days to capture an incident, process it
through the three-tiered review and provide to the police for their review. Once the
citation is approved, notices are typically printed and mailed in less than a day. Most
notices are printed the same day of approval.
Adjudicatory Support
To date, Redflex has assisted in scheduling court hearings for nearly 100 different clients. We have also established over 145 court interfaces
around the country. Of those interfaces, we have established 84 bi-directional data feeds that allow the courts to provide Redflex data such as
disposition information. And of those 84 bi-directional data feeds, 54 clients return payment information to Redflex through the court interface.
Interfacing with Courts
Our equipment and services have been developed to seamlessly integrate with the programs and systems already in place. Violation
information will be made accessible to any agency to which the City approves – this include data feeds and/or application access.. There are no
equipment or software requirements to interface with courts via our web-based applications; everything is online and accessible with secure
logins to maintain chain of custody requirements. This component of implementation includes:
Obtaining existing processing and administrative requirements from the clerk
If a third-party Client Records’ Management System (CRMs) is in use, working directly with the CRMs programmers to co-
develop any new reports or data files for transmission
Designate frequency and content of file transmissions to and from Redflex
Law enforcement will be able to access our court evidentiary package module to download any evidence required for a contested
case
Redflex also offers a hearing scheduling service by which violators have the ability to schedule a court date by contacting our Customer Call
Center or by mailing in a hearing coupon.
When a hearing is requested, Redflex will change the violator’s status in SuperScreen to “Hearing Scheduled” and mail a notice to the violator.
We are also able to send an Outlook calendar invite to all designated officers who serve as expert witnesses for the City, in order for the PD to
schedule an appropriate person to attend the hearing on behalf of the prosecution.
Custodian of Records
Redflex will be able to provide an evidence package for any contested violations, as needed. Our standard evidence package includes the
following documents but this list may be modified to meet the City’s unique specifications. This will be discussed during the kick-off meeting:
All issued and disputed notices to the party
A violation history report
A correspondence file

Redflex will act as the legal Custodian of Records for the evidence collected through our enforcement system (the City owns the data). When a
person receives a citation, they have a legal right to a hearing if they so choose to contest their ticket. Upon receipt of written request, Redflex
shall provide a certified copy of the evidence/records to be used during the trial/hearing. Or, in lieu of contacting Redflex for the evidence
packet, the City is also able to print the documents themselves, 24/7.
Typical evidence packages include a copy of the citation that was sent to the violator, a copy of the original images of the violation incident (un-
enhanced), maintenance records (if necessary or upon request), a Declaration of Technology or Custodian of Records that serves as Redflex’s
testimony in court, a Statement of Technology that explains how the equipment works, etc. We are also able to provide a copy of any written
correspondence received from the violator.
Redflex also provides our clients the option to generate court evidence packages themselves. The Court Evidentiary Package (CEP)
application can be accessed through a secured Web based portal at the City’s convenience, 24/7. Access to the application is granted when an
approved user name and password is entered. The CEP
Application, which is both user-friendly and intuitive, provides a
comprehensive set of documents that supports a burden of proof
by providing sufficient evidence that a traffic violation occurred,
including: violation images, the violation video, a copy of the
citation, and other supporting documentation, such as the
Certificate of Correct Functioning.
Expert Testimony
Redflex fully supports and provides ongoing expert testimony, at
contested court hearings. Redflex currently partners with over
100 jurisdictions to provide expert witness support as needed.
Redflex kindly requests 14 business days’ notice in advance of
court proceedings in order to provide expert testimony.
Throughout the term of this agreement, Redflex will provide a dedicated expert witness in order to testify to accuracy, operations, and reliability
of the system and any related equipment. Redflex can provide expert witness training to police personnel as often as reasonably necessary,
upon the City’s request.
Maintenance
Red Light Systems
Redflex offers a three-pronged approach to our system maintenance to ensure minimal system downtime and delays: 1) daily remote, 2)
preventative and on-site maintenance, and 3) emergency maintenance. This combination ensures correct functionality, high yields and the most
stringent assurances on the levels of legal defensibility. All maintenance of the photo enforcement equipment will be the responsibility of
Redflex; no involvement will be required by the City.
Redflex is committed to meeting all of the City’s needs when it comes to maintenance and repairs of photo enforcement equipment. In addition
to the local field technician, the Customer Service Center (CSC) is accessible 24-hours a day to our clients. Together, our team will work to
repair systems within 48-hours of reported malfunctions. The CSC performs daily diagnostics on the system. Remote fault diagnosis and
resolution is available for a wide variety of system performance issues. Issues unable to be resolved remotely via the CSC will be serviced with
local, fully qualified Redflex personnel. This approach to join maintenance technicians and CSC-based maintenance allows Redflex to
effectively guide the efforts of our local technicians to the tasks that only they can attend to, while allowing the CSC to attend to the majority of
day-to-day tasks remotely. This maintenance will not be performed during peak travel times. Redflex kindly requests that if the City ever needs
to inactivate a system that they contact the CSC so they may assist. This will allow Redflex to track and monitor the systems for downtime
reports.
Daily Remote Maintenance
Essential daily maintenance and support activities will be provided by a maintenance technician and the CSC. This includes both onsite field
based activities as well as daily remote diagnostic systems check which serve to ensure correct functionality, to establish the highest yields and
to guarantee the most stringent assurances on the levels of legal defensibility.

Daily remote diagnostic checks include image quality assessments and system performance analysis. Remote fault diagnosis and resolution is
available for a wide variety of system performance issues. Those issues unable to be resolved remotely via the CSC will be serviced by our
local Maintenance Technician.
The CSC utilizes numerous proprietary tools, methods and resources for identifying and resolving any issue that may arise throughout the life of
a photo enforcement program. All Redflex photo enforcement systems have been designed to automatically notify appropriate personnel of
systems failures.
Ensuring we deliver on our promise of superior customer service, all customer calls received to the CSC are recorded. The recording helps the
initial responder collect all of the required information, and it gives management the opportunity to review communications and provide
comprehensive feedback for staff improvement.
SMARTview Plus™
SMARTview Plus™ is a proprietary tool we use to review recent images from all violations at an approach, and to review the images that are
being produced in near real‐time. The images become available as soon as they are imported into Redflex’s Central Server, prior to processing.
The CSC uses this tool to perform daily image analysis and proactively catch and resolve any image quality, camera or computer issues in an
effort to reduce the amount of incidents affected. Issues may include flashes not firing, constant flash firing, plate image outside of the frame,
incident video unattached, pixilation or distortion of the images, and vandalism.
Daily Variance Reports (DVR)
We use Daily Variance Reports (DVR) to proactively identify sites that have not reported in the past 12 hours. These reports show the time of
the most recently recorded incidents and the average number of incidents over the past three months and past 12 months. If a variance exists
+/- 10%, then we can conduct an operational check to explore and resolve the issue.
While reviewing images, our maintenance team looks for issues that could cause a violation to be rejected, as well as the date and time of the
last incident. If an issue is found, we can resolve the problem remotely from the CSC or assign a maintenance technician to investigate.
Customer Service Center (CSC) Reporting
The CSC features an integrated reporting system enabling us to:
Improve operational procedures
Maintain compliance
Address the critical issues of divergent workflows
Provide overall efficiencies in reporting
We provide proprietary portal, SMARTops™, enabling our clients to create and distribute data pertaining to system performance and statistics.
Reporting areas include, but are not limited to:
Statistics
Number of violations captured by lane (configurable using the timeframe of your choice)
Performance
Detailed reports on the performance of systems at the approach and program level
Issuance rate percentage and issues affecting issuance rate from both uncontrollable and controllable variables
Program Support and Reporting/Recommendation Services
The Redflex client services team will provide ongoing support throughout the life of the photo enforcement program. The client services team
and the maintenance technician will ensure maximum program effectiveness and efficiency, quickly resolving any issues that arise and ensuring
all contract requirements are met.
Through an ongoing analysis of system and program performance, the Redflex team will make recommendations to improve efficiency.
Program reviews and recommendations occur on a continuing basis, specifically:

Ensuring compliance with FOIA requests, and preparing reports on demand, as needed by the City
Inventory/Asset Tracking System
Redflex utilizes an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that greatly enhances our ability to proactively maintain enforcement systems.
The ERP system allows for tracking “mean time to failure.” The software features Quality Management Functionality offering full integration for
managing quality processes and nonconformance’s, including the ability to track parts that are returned from the field for repair. Using this
information, we can analyze the product service life and failure rate to determine mean-time-between-failures.
Once Quality Management has identified a part has a high failure rate, the system will inform Redflex where the part is located in the field. The
ERP will then create Service Orders and Maintenance Technicians will replace the parts before they result in downtime for a site.
Preventative & On-Site Maintenance
This phase of the maintenance program is based on a strict regimen of various strategic checks. These steps, along with the immediate
response to problems as they arise, are pivotal to both system uptime and increased issuance rates. During this process the maintenance
technicians will conduct image quality assessments, system performance and statistical analysis of the equipment. A maintenance log will
completed by the maintenance technician during Redflex’s scheduled maintenance. This maintenance includes both system checks and a
physical inspection. To ensure that the system is running at peak performance and that all hardware and software is functioning properly, a
thorough system check is performed. During the physical check the maintenance technician will inspect the unit looking for any degradation in
the flashes, checking to see if all proper signage is in place, cleaning of the enclosure glass, and inspect for detection issues.
Service orders are automatically generated on a monthly basis for each site to ensure maintenance inspections are performed. While on site,
maintenance technicians complete a form indicating which items have been checked. The on‐site checks are detailed in the Preventative
Maintenance Check List, including review of the following items:
Cleaning the camera enclosure glass when required
Maintain all signage
Inspecting the enclosure for signs of leaks, wear and/or damage, and clean as necessary
Inspecting cables, connectors and hardware for signs of wear or damage
Inspecting poles, bases and enclosures for signs of damage and to ensure proper alignment
Inspecting detection devices for signs of wear or damage
Testing enclosure safety devices for proper operation to ensure safe working conditions for maintenance personnel and the public to
operating voltages
These maintenance forms are stored electronically and are available upon request. When a situation arises, Redflex will begin initial
maintenance work as quickly as possible and keep the City informed of our action plan.
Visual Inspection
While onsite, the Maintenance Technician will perform a Visual Inspection of the area, looking for any potential image‐blocking objects. If an
object is found, the Maintenance Technician will photograph and inform the client, and then plan a resolution. If possible, the Maintenance
Technician will use the enclosed camera to show how the object impedes image quality.
The Visual Inspection also includes an inspection of the surrounding public property, with the general boundary consisting of an one‐block
radius of the intersection. If an issue is found, the City will be notified. We keep an up‐to‐date notification list of phone numbers within the
enclosure. Additionally, our Maintenance Technicians have camera phones available to document any other issue they may find.
Live View Images
SMARTcam™ has utilities that allow our Maintenance Technicians to capture images. The first is called a Live View Image, which can be taken
without a car committing a violation. Live View Images are taken with any of the cameras in the enclosure. This process allows the technician to
verify image quality while confirming the flashes are firing.

Squarified Treemap Provides a Visual Aid to Quickly
Identify Sites Requiring Attention
Next Vehicles
Next Vehicles confirms image quality and tests various aspects of the system. It captures all images that would occur with a true violation. This
shows the Maintenance Technician that placement is correct for each still image and they are packaged together correctly with the attached
video. The correct placement confirms the vehicle detection equipment is working properly.
Violation Video Check
With each violation, a 12‐second video clip is attached. While on site, our Maintenance Technician confirms the video feed is working properly,
and verifies the alignment and clarity of the video.
Streaming Video Check
Every approach can be set up with a streaming video server. This streaming video feed is checked and confirmed to be in working order. This
feed can be accessed from the intersection remotely. The CSC can set up frame rate, color and other various broadcast settings.
Streaming Video Record Process
Each approach is set up with a software package in which streaming video can be recorded. Our Maintenance Technician views the recorded
videos and confirms the recording process is working properly.
Confirm Flashes
The Maintenance Technician confirms each flash is in working order by firing the flash with Live View.
Communications to Processing
The Maintenance Technician confirms communications are working from each enclosure to the image storage server. This is accomplished by
‘pinging’ the specific IP address from our central location or the approach computer. The Maintenance Technician can view a software utility
page to confirm the approach IP is communicating.
Digital Camera Management System (DCMS)
DCMS is a system for remotely monitoring cameras and environmental alarms. When a
failure is detected at an approach, a list of some 46 alarms will populate at the CSC,
ranging from brightness level, hardware failure, certificate expiration, traffic light failure
and much more. The alarms span five levels of severity – Minimal, Medium, Serious,
Critical and Severe – allowing us to better gauge and allocate maintenance resources.
Once a failure is acknowledged, a CSC team member will investigate and the alarm will be
removed so other users monitoring the same dashboard can address other problems as
they are presented. Once the issue has been resolved, DCMS will clear the alarm
automatically.
Solar Winds (Orion)
Solar Winds (Orion) provide Redflex with enhanced visibility of all our systems across the country so we can promptly identify when a system
may be offline. This tool enables us to proactively detect and respond with great efficiency, ensuring all of our systems are fully operational. This
system allows us to reduce down time. Orion also enables us to set up alerts for systems that may require monitoring for a specific period of
time. We can then ensure there aren’t any issues when we experience a system outage, knockdown or new install. Additionally, the Orion
system gives us the ability to trend uptime for systems, enabling us to clearly see whether the system has a reoccurring issue and what the root
cause of that issue may be.
Lastly, Orion provides us with visibility of data traffic use/patterns. We can place the high volume connections in locations where they are
needed and place lower volume connections in areas that do not experience the same level of traffic.
Emergency Maintenance
Major issues and knockdowns will have an agreed resolution plan, to be approved by the appropriate City personnel. These types of issues
typically require the use of a subcontractor due to their severity, but it is Redflex’s commitment to work with the utmost speed to have the site
functional as soon as possible. In the event of main power failure data collection and system clock will continue to capture accurate data and no
data will be lost.

Mobile Vehicle Units
Similar to our approach with red light enforcement systems, Redflex offers a three-pronged approach for system maintenance on all of our
mobile vehicle units to ensure minimal system downtime and delays: 1) remote assistance, 2) preventative and on-site maintenance, and 3)
emergency maintenance. This combination ensures correct functionality, high yields and the most stringent assurances on the levels of legal
defensibility. All maintenance of the photo enforcement equipment will be the responsibility of Redflex; no involvement will be required by the
City.
Redflex is committed to meeting all of the City’s needs when it comes to maintenance and repairs of photo enforcement equipment. The
Customer Service Center (CSC) is accessible 24-hours a day to our clients. The CSC performs daily diagnostics on the system.
Remote Assistance
Should an officer encounter any issues during a deployment, they can call into the CSC to diagnose and fix the problem. If the problem cannot
be addressed over the phone, a technician will be dispatched to fix the problem.

Suite of Applications
Redflex offers our clients a suite of exclusive applications that allow the City and the PD to manage their photo enforcement program by
accessing enforced intersection in real-time, managing citation authorization and violations, evidentiary information for court use and program
reporting all through one source. These applications can be accessed through a secure web-portal, Redflex Web Applications. This single
sign-on portal means users only need to have one login and password for all applications. Redflex is committed to providing our clients the best
technology and the most up-to-date software applications on the market. Below is Redflex’s new suite of applications that will be rolled out to
the City. Training will be provided to City personnel using these applications so that they are fully trained and confident when they are
implemented.
SUPERscreen™ for Post Citation Management
Redflex SUPERscreen™ is a web based application accessible to the City to view all program details as needed – used as a case management
system since users will be able to track the status of an incident through all phases of its life-cycle. Our police partners benefit greatly from
SUPERscreen™ Graphic User Interface (GUI) as it streamlines all citation management functions relating to post citation management into one
website, saving significant time in managing their automated enforcement programs. This includes obtaining information about the history of a
given citation, such as dismissals, fee waivers, nominations, etc. The following sections provide an overview of this tool.
Screen Search
The search screen will allow
the user to enter the City (or
state, if the City is not known)
as the primary search criteria,
followed by name or citation,
plate, or incident number as
the secondary search criteria.
It also allows the user to
search by the
date/time/location. If the
search finds only one incident,
the user will go directly to the
Customer Service
SUPERscreen™. If more than
one incident is found, the
interface will show a drop
down menu with the name,
citation number, plate number,
City/province, violation date,
violation type and Incident
number to allow the user to
select the desired record.
Once the intended record has been located, the user will be able to navigate the application through defined tabs.
View Details
The View Details tab will access violation, vehicle and registered owner details for the incident as well as violator call-in logs. The “Details” link
in the Nomination History box is meant to be a “quick view” of the nominated driver details (name, address, etc.). This tab also tracks who took
what action in each phase – both manual and automated. This occurs for all incidents; whether approved or rejected at any stage of the
process.

Statistical Analysis and Reporting
The proposed program provides a comprehensive online reporting package with numerous standard reports to be used to track the
effectiveness of your program. The powerful Oracle relational databases report generation function allows extensive management reporting to
the City and system managers. Each report can be easily accessed on-line via a web-based application 24/7 by authorized personnel.
The graphical user interface (GUI) was developed using the insight of experienced law enforcement professionals. Redflex facilitated user
groups during development consisting of law enforcement representatives that were both familiar and unfamiliar with our company and with
photo enforcement. The result of these groups was the development of the most “user-friendly” applications available in the market, which
features intuitive navigation and logic. Reports are easily searchable and information can be effectively downloaded in MS Excel and ACSII
Delimited formats. These reports are provided in “real-time.” Sample reports have been included in Appendix B.
Customer Management Report: Details violations captured, rejected violations with reason and issued citations by location
Incident Lookup Report: Allows the user to quickly locate a specific incident that occurred near a known date/time range at a
specific location
Speed Traffic Statistics Report: This report will provide an analysis of traffic counts per site, per lane, per hour
Dismissal Report: Shows all citations that have been dismissed for a selected date range
Deployment Summary Report: Allows the user to select data to be sorted by: location, date or operator.
Operations Summary Report: Provides program statistics for two separate date ranges to allow for comparison
Red Light Traffic Statistics: Displays traffic counts by enforced systems
Red Light Offender Report: Delivers red light violation statistics based on violator time in red, violation hour of the day, and
violation day of the week. This report provides two output options: a graphical or tabular view.
Work In Progress View: Details the count of violations in each phase of processing, with data ranges to allow the City to
monitor Redflex and approving Law Enforcement Officer performance
Ad-Hoc Reporting
These reports may be run on-demand based a variety of input parameters. In addition to the flexibility of our on-demand report module, our
program includes the development of up to six ad hoc reports per year. These reports are typically emailed to the appropriate City/Enforcement
Services personnel with a frequency determined by the City. The following reports represent a sampling of the many customized reports that
Redflex has created.
Amber Phase Timing: Identifies amber phase duration outside of a set threshold (lower or higher).
Top 100 Photo Enforcement Offenders: Identifies vehicles with the most photo enforcement offenses, including violation
details and amount owed to the City
Accepted/Rejected Incident Report: Provides violation approval and rejection statistics specific to each approving officer.
Report data will include the count accepted, rejected and total actions taken by each officer in the previous week
Unpaid Citations Issued to the Jurisdiction: Provides itemization and current status of all unpaid citations
Status of Photo-Enforcement Citations: Provides the itemization and status of all notices (including any balance due amount)
since program inception
System Accessibility
City and PD personnel will be able to access our system from any internet connection. From our applications, the PD can perform a search of
the infraction number to find violator information on all incidents captured. Any reject incidents will also be available for PD review. All
information pertaining to a notice of violation will be viewable by the PD for a minimum of three years or per City and legislative requirements.
The Redflex application suite is comprised of web based applications, all which are accessible from any computer with internet access. Our
applications allow for unlimited simultaneous users without degradation of service. Applications allow for multiple users to simultaneously view
a single citation. The system includes a security and audit function that allows for the tracking of access, data entry and amending of citations.
Redflex applications have several layers of security. All Redflex applications are accessed via a multi-level authentication process where
approved users, both Redflex employees and City users, will need to perform a two-step process (enter a password plus confirm a security
passcode) before they are granted access to the application. This added complexity of providing “something you know” and “something you
have” ensures only authorized users access our suite of applications and confidential information.

Upon access to each application, actions taken by all users are automatically tracked in our system. Our audit log includes user names,
actions/changes, and a timestamp of the change. This log is a permanent record and cannot be manipulated or changed.
Reliable, Accurate and Secure Capture of Violation Images
Redflex has taken the utmost care to ensure the security of the equipment and evidence contained within. We take a layered security approach
to protect the system from the possibility of manipulation from outside sources. The cameras will be optimally positioned to record only violation
images in order to protect the privacy of the public.
Telecommunications Infrastructure
The Redflex solution was designed to maintain a secure chain of evidence. The system does not require data, images, or video to be physically
or electronically transferred between different vendors and/or agencies. All incident data, images and video remain in a database at the Redflex
headquarters facility, resulting in a preserved and secure chain of custody.
Redflex’s SMARTcam™ software, the primary software used in Redflex’s enforcement systems, has many features which allow Redflex to meet
the security demands of the City. SMARTcam™ can be configured to encrypt all information and images associated with an incident beginning
at the time of capture. SMARTcam™ is configured to use a digital signature to provide authentication, authenticity and integrity to the incidents
captured. SMARTcam™ is configured to encode all of the data, images,
and video associated with an incident into a single file incident package.
Within the incident package, each data element, image, and video is
digitally signed, as is the entire package. The individual elements and the
entire package are signed using different hash standards. Cryptographic
hash values are sometimes called (digital) fingerprints.
Once completed, the incident package is written to the camera system
computer where an FTP-like file transfer system monitors for new incidents
and transmits the incident data package to the Redflex data center in near
real time. This file transfer occurs through an encrypted Virtual Private
Network (VPN) tunnel that is maintained between the enforcement site and
the Redflex data center, securing the transmission of all incident evidence
and data between the two points.
Once the data arrives at the Redflex data center, it is imported into the Redflex processing system. During this import, the incident data is
validated against business logic and enforcement criteria. Each import transaction is recorded, processed, authenticated, and archived. During
the import process, the meta data associated with the incident is stored in a database. All images and video are stored on multiple storage
arrays, and the original incident file is stored in the Archive. Redflex utilizes an Archive storage technology that exceeds the strictest regulatory
requirements as it is a write-once, read many (WORM) storage devices.
The combination of these controls ensures that the entire process, from point of capture through archive, is secured with the utmost of integrity.
The process results in a vertically integrated solution with safeguards throughout the entire lifecycle of the enforcement process.
Secure Data Storage
All data is securely transferred from the enforcement systems to our data center. Our data center is very complex and rivals a small ISP in
connectivity and capacity. The facility uses state-of-the-art enterprise equipment by such providers as APC, Cisco, Juniper, EMC, Compellent,
EqualLogic, and Dell to ensure data integrity and uptime. The data center is protected by redundant cooling; UPS, a generator backup, and
utilize an efficient data center design.
Within the company, only a core group of individuals has access to the data center including IT management, system administrators and
network administrators. Access may also be granted for someone with an identified need for physical access only upon completion of a “10
print” fingerprint clearance and NLETS background check.
Physically, data storage is protected by a multi-layer system of physical barriers to entry. The primary data center is monitored 24/7 by multiple
cameras monitoring every point of entry and egress to the facility. There are also cameras monitoring the entry and egress points to the Data
Center itself. Access is controlled via card-key access assignments, and only pre-cleared personnel can open facility doors leading into the

An added layer of security, Redflex offers a
token or a security application to generate a
one-time-use passcode for two-factor
authentication.
Data Center. The secondary (off-site), backup data center is protected by similar measures, as well as a professional security guard and an
even more limited entry list than the primary data center. Additionally, the secondary data center is protected by a private cage enclosure, to
which employees must be authorized before gaining access.
Data is protected through a layered security approach which includes multiple vendor firewalls, IPS, and a SIEM product. Redflex constantly
monitors for potential security threats and utilizes several different data storage protection and preservation technologies, including disk-to-disk
backup solutions, high spindle-count RAID array designs, multi-tier storage allocation, and off-site back-up and replication, as well as at-rest
encryption of all personally identifying information (PII). Access to data is limited according to tightly monitored and controlled electronic policy
implementation. Internal users are only granted access to data based on job responsibility and role and access may be limited based on the
user’s ability to pass the necessary background checks.
Two-Factor Authentication
Redflex has also implemented another layer of security to help keep data secure to all of current clients.
Two-Factor Authentication provides an additional layer of security when logging in or performing
transactions online. This improved security measure has been rolled out for all Redflex client account
users. Redflex will provide the City a set of tokens, similar to a key fob, to be used in addition to their
passwords when logging on to the system. This ensures that if a password is stolen, the person who stole
the password will not be able to access your account because they will not have your token, and vice
versa.
The Redflex data center and co-location data center are connected by a high-speed private connection.
Redflex owns all the hardware at the co-location site. By using this methodology, Redflex is able to
implement technology and solutions that will minimize recovery time and restore windows. This also allows
Redflex to minimize if not eliminate the potential for lost data. In the event of a disaster at the processing
site, Redflex’s real-time data replication environment allows for a much faster and more reliable data
recovery than in a standard tape backup environment.
With the use of real-time data replication, there is no nightly backup window or nightly
backup delay. Since all the production systems are backed up to disk arrays, times are
significantly faster (compared to tape recovery), as multiple recoveries can take place
simultaneously, if necessary.
Redflex will store violation data for the City based upon the legal retention policies imposed by the City and State. Redflex will comply with the
requirements to keep all photos, associated video and data elements for all notices of violation issued for a minimum of three years or a period
designated by the City and/or State. The Project Manager will work with the team to identify the rules of the program, defining data retention
and archiving policies: window or nightly backup delay. Since all the production systems are backed up to disk arrays, times are significantly
faster (compared to tape recovery), as multiple recoveries can take place simultaneously, if necessary.
Violator Payment Options
Redflex offers multiple payment options for violators including: mail-in, via our call center, online via PhotoNotice.com, walk-in major retail
locations, and walk-in at our local office. We offer this wide range of payment options to achieve the highest possible rate of citation payment.
Mail-in
When paying a citation by mail, the individual will be asked to enclose the citation and personal check, money order or cashier’s check for the
fine amount and court costs indicated on the front of the citation. Checks will be made payable as directed by the City and will be mailed to a
specified address for deposit into a lockbox account.
Call Center
Incoming citizen inquiries will be answered at our toll-free multilingual customer service call center located within our Glendale headquarters.
The call center is designed specifically for public inquiries.

Staffing levels are maintained to ensure that calls are answered by a representative in a timely manner. All calls are recorded for quality control
purposes and are retained for a minimum of 90 days. Recorded calls can be retrieved upon request within 48 hours.
The Redflex call center is staffed from 6:00AM – 5:00PM CST, Monday to Friday, by a team of approximately 20 customer service staff. Half of
the team is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish. The Redflex Call Center provides general information regarding citations, payment option,
hearing process, nomination of a driver, and eligibility for traffic school. Additionally, the call center accepts violator payments over the phone
and provides a receipt via email or fax. The call center also accepts requests to reschedule hearings and engages with local offices to complete
these requests. All calls are recorded; copies may be provided upon request.
Interactive Voice-Response System (IVR)
Redflex’s Interactive Voice Response system (IVR) will allow the public to inquire about a citation via a citation number or license plate number.
The public will be able to easily get citation information including the issuance date, citation number, license plate number, past due date or
balance due. Each call will begin with a welcome greeting, the payment mailing address, details to make payments through the IVR or over the
Internet via Redflex’s photonotice.com, and instructions for beginning the Administrative Review Process to contest a citation.
Callers will have the ability access real-time, detailed citation information that is directly linked to the City’s database. In order to ensure violators
have the ability to fully understand their citation details, callers will have the option of hearing information in either English or Spanish. Redflex’s
IVR system is available 24/7, with minimal scheduled downtime for maintenance.
If additional help is requested, options for reaching the Redflex Call Center are also available through the system.
Online
Photonotice.com is a Redflex developed and maintained secure website which provides customer
support to address citizens’ concerns, while allowing for viewing of violation images and the
violation video clip and for payment of the citation. The website is printed on the citation for ease of
accessibility for the violator. Redflex will gladly provide the Photonotice.com link so that the City
can post it on their desired website(s). This web based application can be accessed by violators
24/7 from any internet connected computer. The violator will be able to submit a payment through
this website to a lockbox account maintained by Redflex
Major Retail Locations
Through an arrangement with MoneyGram, citizens can pay citations at nearly 15 retail locations in the Fort Collins
City area or anywhere nationwide MoneyGram is available. This includes retailers such as Wal-Mart, CVS, Dollar
General, and others. This is an incredible confidence to those citizens who may not have a bank account or credit card by allowing them to pay
in cash or money orders.
Program Add On
Hand Held Speed Enforcement
Redflex can include hand held systems as part of the City’s program, if ever desired . Redflex has partnered with Laser
Technology Inc. to combine their latest TruCAM hand held speed tracking device with Redflex’s state-of-the-art back office
and processing capability. This partnership brings value to the City as law enforcement is experienced with these types of
units, allowing for an easy transition to utilize an additional avenue for capturing speeding violators.
This is a great tool for City police when there is a need for quick and convenient mobile speed photo enforcement. Hand held
speed enforcement is best deployed when there is not enough space for a mobile speed van to be set up. These hand held
systems utilize LIDAR technology to track speeding vehicles. Redflex has developed a data feed for the captured incident to
be uploaded into our standard back office for processing. Each incident file will include incident images, a close up license
plate image and an incident video. Law enforcement will experience the benefit of capturing speeding violators without having to get out of their
vehicles, greatly reducing the risk involved when pulling over a violator.

Lafayette, Louisiana – In an attempt to reduce the number of accidents and the severity of those accidents, the City of Lafayette, Louisiana
implemented the SafeLight and SafeSpeed programs in September 2007. These programs were the first of their kind in the state of Louisiana
and were established is reduce traffic violations and accidents as well as augment police enforcement to allow the force to focus their attention
on other crime. But above all else, the programs were implemented to save lives.
Redflex was awarded the contract in 2007 to provide not only the camera systems hardware, but the installation and maintenance of the
equipment. Additionally, Redflex oversees the processing of the potential violations and issuance of City-approved citations. Currently, we

uses four speed vans that rotate locations for monitoring. Redflex also establish a local office in Lafayette, allowing for enhanced customer
service and quick response times to maintenance needs. The program had been running for more than three years and at the intersections
being monitored, there was a 64% decrease in totally crashes, including a 43% reduction in right-angle crashes and an 80% reduction in rear-
end crashes.

Incident Lookup Report
The Incident Lookup Report can be used to quickly locate an incident that occurred near a known date/time range at a specific location, or to
audit all incidents from all systems. The report provides a summary of every incident captured by the camera, a reject reason and the user ID of
the rejecter if it was rejected, or the citation number if it was issued.
All rejections will be easily identified as a Redflex rejection (during V1, V2, or QA) or a Law Enforcement rejection (VA) by the citation number
(REJ-RF = Redflex rejection; REJ-USEID = Law Enforcement rejection) and the user ID.

SAMPLE AD-HOC REPORTS
The reports presented below represent a sampling of the many customized reports that Redflex is able to create for the City. Reports can be
setup to be emailed to an individual or group with a frequency determined by the City.
Amber Phase Timing
Clients utilize this report when there is a desire to receive immediate notification when the amber phase duration of an enforced approach falls
outside of the City’s desired threshold. Clients provide Redflex the minimum and maximum thresholds based on statues and City policy. As
incidents are imported they are automatically assessed and the City will be notified if the actual amber phase duration is outside the set
thresholds.
Although Clients are currently utilizing this report, Redflex has not experienced an instance when the amber phase duration has been outside of
the City’s threshold.

Disclosure
In October 2012, the Chicago Tribune published an article discussing allegations of misconduct that a whistleblower had
raised in 2010. The whistleblower’s allegations centered on alleged misconduct of several former Redflex executives.
Specifically it was alleged that a City employee involved in the administration of Redflex’s contract received improper gifts,
gratuities and monetary payments from former Redflex executives.
Immediately after the publication of the Tribune article, Redflex’s Board of Directors engaged an outside law firm to conduct
an independent and broad internal investigation. Redflex’s internal investigation found that the former Redflex executives did
provide improper gifts and gratuities (travel, accommodation, meals and entertainment) to a City of Chicago employee in
violation of Redflex policies and Chicago municipal ordinances. Redflex’s internal investigation also revealed similar issues on
a much smaller scale in a few other geographies. Redflex fully disclosed its internal investigation’s findings to the United
States Department of Justice and the City of Chicago and has fully cooperated with the Department of Justice’s and the City
of Chicago Inspector General’s investigations.
Based on the above disclosures, Chicago declared Redflex a non-responsible bidder for the City’s speed enforcement
program. Additionally, Chicago did not allow Redflex to submit a proposal to continue operating the Red Light Enforcement
Program when Redflex’s contract expired. The Chicago Office of Inspector General is also conducting an investigation into
Redflex’s contractual relationship with the City. Redflex provided service to Chicago’s red light enforcement program through
February 2014, providing technical assistance to ensure a smooth transition between Redflex and the new vendor.
A more detailed description of the internal investigation’s findings and our comprehensive remediation actions is available in
the Investor Relations section of our website located at: www.redflex.com, including the public disclosures on March 4, 2013,
March 7, 2013, and April 11, 2013.
Redflex now has an entirely new executive team, including a new CEO, CFO and General Counsel. In addition, the company
has a new board of directors.
On August 14, 2014 the U.S. Department of Justice indicted the former RTSI CEO, Ms. Karen Finley, the former City of
Chicago employee, Mr. John Bills and the former RTSI independent contractor, Martin O’Malley. The complaint charges the
former program manager, former RTSI CEO and former RTSI independent contractor with certain violations of federal bribery
laws among other charges. RTSI is not criminally charged in the indictment. A more detailed description of the indictment is
contained in the August 14, 2014 ASX Announcement which is also available in the Investor Relations section of Redflex’s
website located at www.redflex.com. On December 10, 2014 the former RTSI independent contractor pled guilty, pursuant to
a plea agreement, to one count of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery in violation of federal law.
On February 10, 2014, the government charged Aaron Rosenberg, Redflex’s former Vice President of Sales, by criminal
information with conspiracy to commit bribery and honest services wire fraud and federal program bribery. Rosenberg
thereafter entered a plea of guilty as to both counts and was placed on pre-trial diversion until October 7, 2015, at which time
DOJ moved to dismiss the charges against him.
On June 19, 2015 Karen Finley pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, pursuant to a
plea agreement, to one count of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery and honest services wire and mail fraud. On a
strictly confidential basis (at the express request of the U.S. Department of Justice) Redflex assisted the Department of
Justice’s investigation in Ohio. On October 19, 2016 Finley was sentenced to fourteen months in prison.
On August 20, 2015 Karen Finley pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, pursuant to
a plea agreement, to one count of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery. On November 10, 2016 Finley was
sentenced to thirty months in prison.
In December 2015 the City of Chicago filed an amended complaint against Redflex seeking civil damages for among other
things alleged violations of the City of Chicago’s false claims and false statement ordinances and consumer fraud laws,
breach of contract, civil conspiracy and violation of kickback laws. The City of Chicago’s claims arise out of the same set of
facts described above which Redflex previously disclosed to the City of Chicago. A more detailed explanation is available in
the Investor Relations section of our website located at: http://www.redflex.com
On January 25, 2016 the trial of John Bills concluded and on January 26, 2016 the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all 20
counts of the indictment. Mr. Bills is scheduled to be sentenced on June 20, 2016. As noted above Redflex cooperated fully
with the government’s investigation and the trial of Mr. Bills.
5651 West Talavi Blvd, Suite 200, Glendale, AZ 85306-1884 • 623-207-2000 • www.redflex.com
On August 29, 2016 Bills was sentenced to ten years in prison and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,000,000.
Redflex has implemented a best-in-class compliance policy to ensure no misconduct happens again. Our ethics and
compliance program and policies include:
1. Training: A Redflex Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption online training module has been created to train all employees,
Board of Directors, and all contracted personnel, annually.
2. Assessment and Reporting Processes: Redflex has established specific policies and procedures to monitor
compliance with state and municipal gift and hospitality policies, including appropriate reporting obligations to
customers.
3. Hotline and Compliance Email: Redflex has established a whistle blower program, including a live 24-hour hotline
and dedicated email address, enabling employees and Redflex customers to report suspicious, illegal or unethical
behavior on an anonymous basis and an assurance those reports will be reviewed, investigated and resolved.
Reports go directly to the Audit Committee Chairman, Director of Compliance and Redflex International Global
Chief Financial Officer simultaneously.
4. Compliance Association Membership and Software Solutions: Membership in TRACE International, an association
that provides compliance solutions and software to enable the company to track observance of Redflex policies and
provide reports to customers.
5. Contract Provisions and Processes: Redflex has included language in its contracts with outside consultants
stressing compliance with its policies and has changed its contract processes to ensure compliance.
a. Sales Consulting Agreements are continually being evaluated and now include strong Anti-Bribery and
Anti-Corruption compliance provisions.
b. Master Subcontractor Agreement and Professional Services Agreements have been updated to include
strong Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption compliance provisions.
c. All Sales Consulting Agreements and administration are now under the supervision of the General
Counsel's office.
d. The company has clearly delineated the different roles of its sales consultants and lobbyists.
6. Enhanced Expense Report Processes: Redflex's expense reimbursement system has been fortified and is regularly
monitored.
a. Expense reimbursement processes, controls, and training have been enhanced. The Director of
Compliance reviews expense reports each pay period for all employees who interact with third parties.
b. Expense reimbursement form will be updated to require additional detail and a signature legend that
requires the employee and approver to attest that the expenses are compliant with policy.
Redflex’s corrective actions have been thorough and unprecedented. As it stands today, Redflex demonstrates the highest
level of transparency and has the best compliance program of any company in our industry. Many others agree. Since we
announced the findings of our internal investigation, we have signed, renewed or executed over 100 contracts.
