Press Release

Cameras proving a valuable aid to taxi driver safety.

Melbourne, June 4th 2001

Raywood Communications today announced that with the receipt of an order for a further 800 cameras from the Greater Houston Transportation Company, total sales worldwide now exceeded 10,000 units.

Raywood's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Graeme Taylor said, "From a concept, through to the initial design, manufacture, update, enhancement and customisation, to now the 10,000th camera sold in just four years."
"Starting in Perth, Western Australia, taxi industries around the world are embracing this technology as a proven driver safety system. Raywood SnapShot® cameras are now installed in 6 Australian States and Territories, in over 10 States in the USA, three provinces in Canada, and also in France, Turkey and the UK to name a few. And it won't stop there. Raywood Snapshot® cameras are on trial in over 20 new cities and every month another city seems to adopt this technology and legislate for its use."

Research indicates that in the 30 months to the end of May, 2001, some 145 taxi driver killings have been reported in newspapers worldwide - a rate of over one murder per week.

But with many jurisdictions reporting over 65% reduction in reported driver assaults after the installation of cameras, this technology is proving a significant contributor to taxi driver safety.
Raywood are proud to be involved with a product that will help reduce this appalling statistic.
