At present, the manufacturer has installed cameras on around 270 toll lanes, part of Serbia's 900km of tolled roads with 65 toll plazas.

Tattile Vega Basic short-range cameras are installed for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), with one camera per lane located at the lane entrance. 

Vehicles digitally trigger the camera, which sends the image via TCP connection to the lane controller, merging this with data received from other parts of system according to the respective payment method. 

On manual toll lanes, ANPR data is used for better vehicle identification, while in electronic toll collection non-stop lanes it is compared with automatic vehicle classification and additional on-board unit data to maintain successful non-stop transit for a free-flow toll system. 

Tattile says its camera software "can prove their stable performance against sun flare and in all kind of weather conditions during day or night". 

The Italian company is also retrofitting as part of a Serbia tolling system modernisation project.

Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    David Crawford welcomes the adoption of European-style ITS technology by the US. The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway in Illinois, US is well on the way towards becoming a ‘smart traffic corridor’, taking full advantage of active traffic management (ATM or ‘managed lanes’) technology that originated in Europe. It is one of the first American toll roads to do so; preliminary work began in 2014 and will continue through to 2016. Jane Addams is one of four toll roads operated by the publicly-owned Illinois State T

    Advances in vision technology are enhancing traffic surveillance and enforcement applications. Variable lighting conditions have long been a stumbling block for vision technology applications in the transport sector. With applications such as ANPR, the read-rate may vary between daylight and night and can be adversely affected by glare and low sun. Madrid, Spain-based Lector Vision had these considerations in mind when designing its Traffic Eye ANPR system, which combines off-the-shelf and custom hardware
