About our Dangerous Goods

Macq’s Dangerous Goods solution provides real-time detection of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) carrying hazardous materials, helping authorities enhance safety on roads and in tunnels. Using intelligent AI cameras and our M³ software interface, the system automatically recognizes chemical compounds displayed on ADR-compliant orange panels, monitors vehicle numbers, and identifies the nature of dangerous goods transported.

This solution allows operators to trigger real-time warnings, emergency procedures, or messages on variable message signs, while enabling local authorities to intercept vehicles and enforce regulations efficiently. Designed to minimize risks in high-traffic areas and urban tunnels, it ensures safer transportation and proactive protection for both citizens and infrastructure. 

Dangerous Goods keeps your city safe and its citizens protected from hazardous transportation risks. Detect high-risk vehicles instantly, trigger timely warnings, and prevent accidents before they happen. Smart, reliable, and proactive, this solution helps authorities safeguard families, protect infrastructure, and ensure that everyone can travel with confidence and peace of mind.

Main Characteristics

1. Real-Time ADR Intelligence, Powered by AI

Macq’s Dangerous Goods module automatically detects HGVs transporting hazardous materials by recognizing ADR-compliant orange panels, even when blank or when multiple substances are carried. Using intelligent AI cameras combined with the M³ platform, authorities gain immediate visibility into dangerous goods moving through sensitive areas far beyond basic vehicle detection.

2. Proactive Risk Management, Not Reactive Enforcement

Unlike conventional systems that only flag violations after the fact, Macq enables real-time warnings and emergency actions. Operators can instantly trigger alerts, emergency procedures, or variable message signs (VMS) to restrict access, reroute traffic, or impose tunnel bans—reducing risk before an incident occurs.

3. Advanced Risk Assessment for High-Sensitivity Zones

The module goes further by calculating risk levels in defined areas, taking into account the number and combination of dangerous goods vehicles present at the same time. This intelligence is critical for urban centers, tunnels, and high-traffic corridors, where a single incident could have severe consequences.

4. Fully Integrated, Scalable, and Enforcement-Ready

Seamlessly embedded in the M³ platform, Dangerous Goods integrates with Restricted Traffic Zones, Access Control, and VMS modules, enabling interception, regulation enforcement, and detailed statistics. Optional Make, Model & Color recognition further enhances identification accuracy. The result is a future-proof, city-scale solution designed for both safety and operational efficiency.
