Italy expands traffic enforcement tech

Overview

By late July 2026, Italy completed a nationwide rollout of the third‑generation “Tutor 3.0” speed‑monitoring system, covering more than 1,800 km of motorways and 178 critical sections. The platform blends average‑speed calculation between entry and exit portals with fixed‑point radar, high‑resolution cameras and on‑board computing, automatically classifying vehicle types and applying a one‑third higher fine during night hours.

Following the Tutor 3.0 deployment, police began installing the “sorpassometro” on selected high‑risk road segments to detect illegal overtaking. Additionally, Sodi Scientifica received permission to pilot the AI‑driven “Autovelox SafeDrive” system on the Florence‑Pisa‑Livorno super‑highway to monitor driver distraction and seat-belt use.

On 4 August 2026, the Polizia Stradale and ANAS launched “Vergilius Plus,” an upgraded average‑speed monitoring system operating on 36 corridors (≈211 km), including the A2 “Del Mediterraneo,” the SS 1 Aurelia, and the SS 7 quater Domitiana. The system uses high-resolution cameras for automated license plate recognition and vehicle identification.

In response to the Ferragosto holiday period, authorities in the Lazio region have intensified enforcement through scheduled operations. The Polizia Stradale and Astral Infomobilità released a specific schedule for speed camera monitoring between 10 and 16 August 2026, targeting key routes such as the SS 148 Pontina, SS 1 Aurelia, SP 277, the A24 Roma–Teramo, and the A12 Roma–Tarquinia.
