The police directorate in the Sarajevo canton of Bosnia has installed 18 Tattile Vega Smart 2HD cameras to aid enforcement efforts - and plans to add up to 15 more.

Based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms designed to detect speed violations and vehicles with documented criminal offences, the cameras are part of the Sparta traffic security system.

Their main function is automatic number plate recognition, detecting stolen vehicles and those whose registration has expired.

Officers will be alerted either via the back office (web-based app) or in the field (mobile app).

"With the help of these smart cameras for traffic surveillance, the police officers have accurate documentation on the vehicles in violation," a police representative explained.

"Even if police fail to immediately stop the offender, the violation is stored in the device's memory and transmitted to a central database. As such it is almost impossible to avoid punishment."

"Once you exceed the speed limit, you will be penalised, and the same goes for the second time," the representative added.

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
