About our Overtaking
Overtaking is the act of a vehicle passing another slower moving vehicle, in a legal passing zone, travelling in the same direction on a road. Our solution enforce an overtaking ban on a defined road section.
An ANPR system is placed at two different locations on a road section. The system records each vehicle license plate, time stamp and an overview image.
If a particular vehicle A is detected at the first detection point with a time stamp greater than the time stamp of vehicle B and at the second point with a time stamp lower than the time stamp of vehicle B, then vehicle A has overtaken on this road section.
A system is configured with the normal driving time necessary to drive directly from one point to another without stopping. Only vehicles that are faster than this normal time are taken into account in the detection of violations, both for the overtaking vehicle and for the overtaken vehicle.
If vehicles are slower than this time, it is assumed that they have stopped somewhere along the road.
This module can be used for all vehicles but can also be used for trucks only. In addition, different times may be configured depending on various vehicle categories. If this module is only used for trucks, it can also be configured to work only during bad weather. It is possible to deploy a rain sensor connected to this module and the ANPR system.
In summary, this solution can be perfectly tailored to your needs.
Main Characteristics
Macq Overtaking uses dual-point ANPR monitoring to detect overtaking violations with precise timestamps and overview images. The system calculates travel times between points to ensure only genuine violations are flagged, eliminating false positives and providing reliable, legally defensible evidence.
2. Fully Configurable by Vehicle Type and Road Conditions
The module can be tailored for all vehicles or specific categories such as trucks. Travel time thresholds are adjustable per vehicle type, and weather conditions (rain, slippery roads) can be factored in via external sensors, ensuring enforcement is both fair and context-aware.
Macq Overtaking is designed to monitor defined road segments, whether short stretches or longer corridors. Its adaptability allows authorities to focus enforcement on high-risk zones, accident-prone areas, or sections with temporary restrictions.
4. Integrated into a Complete Smart Mobility Platform
Seamlessly embedded in the M³ platform, Overtaking complements other modules like Speed Section Control, Traffic Analytics, and Incident Management, transforming raw ANPR data into actionable insights for road safety and compliance.
