Tattile unveils Vega1 and the Smartaid

Leading Italian ITS company and machine vision specialist Tattile has unveiled two major new innovations for the global traffic and enforcement market: the Vega1 and the Smartaid. The Vega1, a dual channel camera built in an extra-compact case to reduce installation impact, is mainly targeted to single lane vehicle tracking, traffic limited areas and priority lanes, as well as surveillance and access control and congestion charge areas.

Leading Italian ITS company and machine vision specialist 592 Tattile has unveiled two major new innovations for the global traffic and enforcement market: the Vega1 and the Smartaid.


The Vega1, a dual channel camera built in an extra-compact case to reduce installation impact, is mainly targeted to single lane vehicle tracking, traffic limited areas and priority lanes, as well as surveillance and access control and congestion charge areas.

Its high sensitivity image sensors are available for ANPR reading and video streaming, even in harsh and low-light conditions. It can classify vehicles by make, colour and class.

Importantly, the Vega1 does not require external infrared lighting and, because local storage is incorporated into the extra-compact device, it can work as a stand-alone unit or continue operation if connectivity is lost or not available.

“The Vega1 is a major advance in many ways but what makes it even more flexible for a whole range of diverse applications and requirements is the range of additional optional functionalities that can be added on demand by customers to meet their specific needs,” said Massimiliano Cominelli, sales manager of Tattile’s Traffic Division. “For instance, the capability to identify a vehicle’s brand, class and the colour by image analysis, together with some traffic statistics.”

Meanwhile, Tattile’s Smartaid camera is an all-in-one on-board intelligent traffic system that combines ANPR and complete traffic video monitoring and analysis. Indeed, the company says that its Smartaid product means that multiple devices performing single traffic monitoring and vehicle identification tasks belong to the past.  

“Our new Smartaid system is a ground-breaking combination of these two former separate disciplines,” says Cominelli. “It includes all the features of a state of the art APNR system and a vehicle identification system, delivering monochrome and colour pictures.

“In addition, the intelligent video analysis of traffic flow can identify traffic disruptions as well as automatically providing alarms in case of congestion, an accident, pedestrians on the road, or any other unusual events.“

    Private ride-hailing giant Uber, which is aiming to follow rival Lyft in becoming a public company this year, has warned that it may never be profitable. The candid admission comes in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as Uber prepares for an initial public offering (IPO) which it reportedly hopes will value the company at $100 billion.

    The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDoT) says its trial of dynamic tolling will alleviate congestion and give drivers more reliable travel times. The technology will be implemented along the US 36 between Denver and Boulder and a segment of Interstate 25. Dynamic tolling uses sensors and other measuring devices to assess the amount of traffic on the road and vehicles' speed. The system increases tolls if it detects traffic slowing down in a managed lane which then decreases when there is free mov
