By late July 2026 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. Drivers from Bosnia, Croatia and other neighbours were warned that violations are recorded continuously, eliminating the “brake just before the camera” tactic. Following the Tutor 3.0 deployment, police began installing the “sorpassometro” on selected high‑risk road segments. The electronic device detects illegal overtaking in blind curves, narrow lanes or where continuous lines prohibit passing, issuing fines of €167‑€1,308 and a loss of 10 licence points, with repeat offences potentially leading to suspension. Installation requires prefectural authorisation based on accident statistics or hazardous geometry. The government issued a guide for municipalities segments to turn sensor, camera, connected‑vehicle and cloud data into actionable traffic‑management decisions through ITS tools such as microsimulation, traffic‑lab analysis and the WeTraffic platform. The four‑step process (collect, diagnose, evaluate, monitor) helps local managers choose measures like traffic‑light timing, roundabouts or remote‑control interventions. detect illegal overtaking. Additionally, Sodi Scientifica received permission to pilot an the AI‑driven speed‑camera system, “Autovelox SafeDrive”, SafeDrive” system on the Florence‑Pisa‑Livorno super‑highway. Using computer‑vision, the system detects super‑highway to monitor driver distraction, verifies seat‑belt wear and cross‑checks insurance and inspection status against national databases, operating reliably day distraction and night with infrared illumination. seat-belt use. On 4 August 2026 2026, the Polizia Stradale and ANAS launched “Vergilius Plus”, Plus,” an upgraded average‑speed monitoring system operating on 36 corridors (≈211 km) km), including the A2 “Del Mediterraneo” Mediterraneo,” the SS 1 Aurelia, and several state roads. High‑resolution the SS 7 quater Domitiana. The system uses high-resolution cameras read licence plates, identify for automated license plate recognition and vehicle class identification. In response to the Ferragosto holiday period, authorities in the Lazio region have intensified enforcement through scheduled operations. The Polizia Stradale and calculate average Astral Infomobilità released a specific schedule for speed camera monitoring between detection points, automatically issuing fines to improve road safety. 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.
