Smart urban mobility
A constantly evolving mobility
In recent years, the number of vulnerable road users has increased sharply, reflecting the diversification of alternative modes of transport and active mobility.

Mobility is constantly evolving! Cities face numerous challenges in terms of traffic and mobility. Constant population growth translates into an increase in both the number of journeys and the means of transportation used. The success of tomorrow’s mobility depends on technology and innovation, capable of integrating into the city’s infrastructure to improve traffic management and address safety and environmental impact issues.
The challenge is great but essential!
Let's protect vulnerable users
In recent years, the number of vulnerable road users has increased sharply, reflecting the diversification of alternative modes of transport and active mobility. Bicycles, scooters, pedestrians, but also motorized two-wheelers: these modes of transport, often more environmentally friendly and practical, are now widely used. However, vulnerable road users are particularly exposed to the dangers of traffic. This is a problem that is especially acute in rural areas, where the majority of accidents involving these users occur. On roads that are sometimes narrow and poorly designed, collisions can quickly become tragic.
To reverse this trend, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of road space and accident-prone areas, as well as to adapt infrastructure to provide vulnerable road users with safe, clearly marked spaces that separate them as much as possible from motor vehicles.

Collection of counting data
As mobility has undergone its metamorphosis, traffic counting has become a fundamental tool for local authorities to gain a clear and precise view of traffic, adapt their infrastructure to user needs, improve safety, and support the transition to more sustainable modes of transport.
Traffic counting is essential for analyzing traffic flows, the number and type of vehicles traveling on a given section of road, optimizing road safety by identifying accident-prone or congestion-prone areas, supporting the ecological transition and monitoring traffic trends related to sustainable modes of transport, and improving the user experience through the management of signage, dedicated lanes, intersections, etc.
Automatic license plate recognition
Automatic license plate recognition is a key technology in road safety management and traffic enforcement. This technology allows for the real-time capture and analysis of license plates of vehicles traveling on the roads and offers numerous advantages, particularly in optimizing the processing of traffic violations.
By combining license plate recognition and reading with databases, the system makes it possible to instantly detect vehicles committing violations, whether it be speeding or entering restricted areas, such as Low Emission Zones (LEZs). Furthermore, the ability to link this technology to automated enforcement systems facilitates the management of fines, thus reducing the risk of error and accelerating the process of penalizing violations.
Thanks to this precise and rapid recognition capability, PARIFEX allows authorities to monitor traffic in real time and ensure effective enforcement of traffic violations.
Civil and urban security
Automatic license plate recognition serves public safety, traffic management, and crime prevention. Its applications are numerous: monitoring sensitive areas, detecting stolen vehicles, border control, and tracking vehicles involved in investigations. By linking plate recognition to databases, the automated license plate reading system can instantly identify suspicious vehicles. This automated system provides increased responsiveness while facilitating the work of law enforcement and local authorities.
