Tattile's Vega Smart 2HD cameras have been equipped to enforcement gantries on highways in Slovakia and the Czech Republic to enable free-flow tolling.

Tattile says the 50 cameras deployed in Slovakia cover most toll gantries while the 180 cameras in the Czech Republic are located on motorways such as the D1, D11 and D56.

The cameras will continuously monitor whether trucks using the highways have paid toll fees, the company adds.

According to Tattile, the motion and real-time number plate identification algorithm and the optical character recognition (OCR) inside the camera make it a reliable solution for recognising vehicles travelling up to a speed of 250 km/h.

Additionally, an optional vehicle recognition algorithm can be uploaded in the camera to deliver additional information such as the vehicles' brand, colour, class and model.

These classification parameters generate a fingerprint of each vehicle to complement the automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) accuracy, Tattile insists.

The ANPR cameras on the road networks send their image data of moving vehicles to a central control system where traffic offence fines are then generated.

If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations.

    In sharp contrast to many other countries drivers in Sweden support speed cameras and the planned expansion of the automated enforcement network. Sweden is embarking on a massive expansion of its speed camera network and is doing so with both a very high level of public acceptance and without its drivers feeling persecuted; a feat the administrations in many other countries would like to emulate. So how did this envious state of affairs come about? Magnus Ferlander director of business development and ma

    January 30, 2012
    Wisconsin's four-year HOT lanes pilot project, launched in May 2008, cost US$18.8 million to construct. Halfway into the project, which uses variably priced, or dynamic, tolling to improve highway efficiency, the benefits are mounting. The problem was obvious, and frustrating, to anyone who ever sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic on State Route 167 and watched a lone car whiz by every 20 seconds or so in the carpool lane. But for planners at the Washington State Department of Transportation, the conundrum was
