VITRONIC presents innovative solutions for further development of safety on African roads at the 2024 GITEX in Marrakech

From the 29th to the 31st of May 2024, GITEX Africa (www.GITEXAfrica.com) took place in Marrakech, and tech enthusiasts from all over the continent gathered to platform their latest technology updates in their respective fields. The VITRONIC Machine Vision Middle East team participated for the second consecutive year in showcasing their latest traffic technology solutions to tackle the ever-challenging phenomena of road-related fatalities.

VITRONIC Middle East was honored to be back at GITEX Africa 2024 after the successful exhibition in the previous year. This year, VITRONIC participated with a 30sqm stand showcasing the latest traffic technology to promote safe mobility through advanced enforcement systems. Over three days, a significant number of professionals and current and prospective customers visited the stand to learn more about the opportunities for safer roads not only in Africa but worldwide.

With a strong focus and great success in the African region for the past few years, the VITRONIC team showcased three of their traffic technology solutions including the Compact City Housing (CCH) which is a traffic enforcement for speed enforcement, toll control, and license plate recognition including vandalism protection. Additionally, the Enforcement Bar is a mobile solution for Automatic Number Plate Recognition which increases enforcement efficiency in areas such as internal security, border control, and parking area monitoring. VITRONIC’s SSPX has an intelligent traffic sensor that captures images and analyzes them using an AI-based algorithm. Our new feature can also do Mobile and seatbelt detection.

With further development of road safety in Africa, a key component of every strategy remains to be traffic enforcement, an effective measure against the main causes of traffic fatalities. VITRONIC, recognizing its potential, has demonstrated the current advancements in Smart City Applications and continues to promote and develop smart traffic enforcement solutions for safer roads across the region. The buzzing environment of GITEX has motivated VITRONIC to continue pushing the boundaries of the feasible until no more lives are lost on the roads.
