Acusensus doubles WA enforcement fleet as contract value climbs to $13 million
Acusensus Limited has secured a significant expansion and extension of its Western Australian government enforcement contract, doubling its trailer-based enforcement fleet and adding approximately $13 million in incremental contract value. The Acusensus WA enforcement contract expansion, announced on 10 February 2026, sees the AI-enabled road safety technology provider deploy six additional trailer units across the state under its agreement with the WA Road Safety Commission, part of the WA Police Force.
The expansion builds on the original contract signed in October 2024. Two of the six new units have been operational since November 2025, with the remaining four units scheduled for deployment between July and September 2026. The WA Road Safety Commission has also exercised the first of two extension options available under the head contract, extending the partnership to at least October 2028. This represents a 12-month extension beyond the original term, with a further extension option still available.
The contract expansion delivers multi-year revenue visibility for Acusensus, a key metric for investors assessing the company’s commercial traction with government customers. Contract extensions signal customer satisfaction and product effectiveness, typically carrying higher margins than new customer acquisition. The doubling of deployed units in Western Australia also provides a strong reference case for potential expansion into other Australian states.
What is multi-function road safety enforcement?
Acusensus’ trailer-based enforcement units are designed to detect multiple road safety offences simultaneously using artificial intelligence. Each unit can simultaneously detect mobile phone usage, seatbelt non-compliance, point speed violations, average speed violations, and unregistered vehicles, all from a single platform.
This multi-function capability differentiates Acusensus from single-purpose enforcement providers. Traditional enforcement systems typically target one offence type per deployment, requiring multiple units and operators to cover the same range of violations. By combining these functions into a single transportable solution, government customers can achieve broader enforcement coverage with improved cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
The technology leverages AI-enabled image processing to analyse vehicle and driver behaviour in real time, generating prosecutable evidence that can be used by law enforcement agencies to drive behavioural change. The transportable trailer format allows units to be relocated to different sites, providing flexibility to target high-risk areas or respond to emerging road safety trends.
Contract breakdown and revenue visibility
The commercial terms of the Acusensus WA enforcement contract expansion demonstrate the company’s ability to secure both fleet growth and contract tenure with an existing government customer. The agreement variation adds substantial recurring revenue while extending the partnership timeline by at least 12 months.
| Milestone | Date | Units Deployed | Contract Value Impact | Contract End Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original contract signed | October 2024 | Initial fleet | Not disclosed | October 2027 |
| First expansion units operational | November 2025 | 2 additional units | Included in $13M total | N/A |
| Remaining expansion units | July-September 2026 | 4 additional units | Included in $13M total | N/A |
| First extension exercised | February 2026 | All units (doubled fleet) | Approximately $13M (excl. GST) | At least October 2028 |
The $13 million incremental contract value (excluding GST) covers both the fleet expansion and the 12-month extension. This figure excludes variable revenue elements, suggesting potential upside depending on operational performance metrics. Importantly, the WA Road Safety Commission retains a second extension option, which if exercised could extend the contract further and add additional revenue beyond October 2028.
Deployment timeline
The phased rollout of the six additional trailer units follows a staged implementation approach:
-
November 2025: Two trailer units deployed and operational, providing early proof of expanded capability.
-
July to September 2026: Four additional trailer units progressively deployed, completing the fleet doubling and enhancing regional coverage across Western Australia.
This staged deployment allows Acusensus to manage manufacturing and installation logistics while enabling the WA Road Safety Commission to assess early performance data from the initial two units before the full expansion goes live.
Managing Director commentary
Alexander Jannink, Founder and Managing Director
“We are delighted to expand our work with the WA Road Safety Commission. This variation underscores the effectiveness of our unique multi-function trailer platform to change driver behaviours, which allows for various types of life-saving enforcement to be combined into a single solution. By increasing the fleet and extending our partnership for these services through to the end of October 2028, we can further support the WA Road Safety Commission in enhancing road safety outcomes and reducing casualties across both metropolitan and regional areas.”
Jannink’s commentary emphasises the behavioural change outcomes achieved through the technology, a key selling point for government road safety agencies. The reference to both metropolitan and regional coverage expansion suggests the additional units will target areas beyond the Perth metropolitan region, potentially addressing higher casualty rates in rural and remote locations.
What this expansion signals for Acusensus investors
The Acusensus WA enforcement contract expansion delivers several positive signals for shareholders assessing the company’s commercial trajectory:
-
Proven product-market fit: Government customers expanding existing contracts demonstrates satisfaction with technology performance and operational effectiveness.
-
Extended revenue visibility: The contract now runs to at least October 2028, with a further extension option available, providing multi-year recurring revenue certainty.
-
Higher margin potential: Contract expansions with existing customers typically carry lower sales and implementation costs than new customer acquisitions, supporting margin improvement.
-
Reference case value: Successful deployment in Western Australia strengthens Acusensus’ value proposition for other Australian state governments considering multi-function enforcement solutions.
-
Fleet doubling: The expansion represents 100% growth in deployed units within a single jurisdiction, validating the scalability of the technology platform.
The combination of fleet expansion and tenure extension suggests the WA Road Safety Commission views the technology as delivering measurable road safety outcomes. For investors, this reduces execution risk around customer retention and provides a foundation for potential expansion into additional states or enforcement applications.
Acusensus global footprint context
The Western Australian contract expansion sits within Acusensus’ broader operational presence across multiple jurisdictions. The company maintains a global footprint to support government and commercial customers:
-
Australia: Melbourne (headquarters), Sydney, Brisbane, Perth
-
New Zealand: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch
-
United Kingdom: London
-
United States: Las Vegas (Nevada), Hartford (Connecticut)
This multi-jurisdiction presence positions Acusensus to replicate the Western Australian model across other markets, leveraging operational experience and technology refinements gained through existing deployments. The company’s expansion beyond Australia into New Zealand, the UK, and the US suggests potential for international contract growth as road safety enforcement adopts AI-enabled multi-function platforms.
