AretronAI
Areatec's artificial intelligence, built from scratch by our team and trained on 30 years of real traffic data. If the human eye can see it, Aretron can see it too.
It runs on the edge, with no cloud dependency, and analyzes each frame in under 50 milliseconds. It reads plates with 98.7% accuracy, finds road potholes, audits signage and recognizes faces of interest for public safety. Every face that is not a target is blurred on the camera itself, as data protection law requires.
What is Aretron AI
Aretron AI is Areatec's proprietary artificial intelligence engine, with over 2 billion frames processed and 98.7% accuracy in vehicular OCR. It operates on edge computing with inference in under 50ms, powered by 30 years of real traffic enforcement and on-street parking data from over 200 cities.
What is Aretron
Aretron is the artificial intelligence engine developed entirely by Areatec. It is not a third-party API integration or an adapted generic model. It is a proprietary architecture, trained with data that truly matters: 30 years of real traffic and parking operations, millions of license plates, dwell patterns, infractions, and traffic behaviors in over 200 Brazilian and Latin American cities.
Aretron has been optimized bit by bit to run directly on dedicated hardware. It does not rely on the cloud. It does not depend on network latency. Every camera, every sensor, every Olho Vivo Patrol device executes real-time inference, processing frames in less than 50 milliseconds. This means instant computer vision, with no delay, no intermediaries, and no recurring API costs.
Every operation, every captured data point, every detected pattern continuously feeds the model. The server infrastructure with dedicated processors absorbs this learning in real time, ensuring the system becomes more accurate and faster with each day of operation.
Total independence from third parties
While competitors rely on external APIs subject to changes in pricing, policy, and availability, Aretron operates autonomously. Total control over the model, the data, and the evolution of the technology. No vendor lock-in. No contractual surprises.
10 AI Capabilities in a Single Engine
Each capability listed below operates in production, in the field, processing real data every day. No future promises. Proven results in over 200 cities.
License Plate OCR
Optical character recognition with 98.7% accuracy. Works in motion at 60km/h, in the rain, at night, with dirty or damaged plates. Less than 50ms per plate.
Road Defect Detection
Automatic identification of potholes, cracks, patches, and depressions in the pavement. AI severity classification. Intelligent maintenance prioritization for public works departments.
Signage Analysis
Recognition of traffic signs, stop signs, road markings, and crosswalks. Automated road signage inventory with condition assessment.
Facial Recognition
Active search for faces pre-registered by security agencies, with immediate response and digital chain of custody. Faces that are not the target are blurred on the camera itself, in compliance with data protection law.
Vehicle Classification
Complete vehicle identification in real time: make, model, year, and color. Integration with stolen vehicle databases and instant alerts for security forces.
Fatigue Monitoring
Real-time driver behavioral analysis. Detection of signs of fatigue, distraction, and cell phone use while driving. Automatic alerts for accident prevention.

Preprocessing
< 5msImage normalization, contrast adjustment, region of interest detection. Optimization for inference executed entirely on dedicated hardware.
Aretron Inference
< 30msProprietary architecture processes the image with multiple attention heads. Simultaneous object detection, classification, and segmentation in a single step.
Contextual Validation
< 10msResult validated against historical context and previous patterns. Anomaly detection, business rule application, and confidence calculation.
Registration in AreaChain
< 4msResult registered with an immutable digital chain of custody. Data feeds continuous learning. Guaranteed legal compliance.
Aretron vs. Third-Party APIs
Areatec developed Aretron internally because relying on third-party APIs was unacceptable for critical enforcement operations.
Continuous Learning Infrastructure
Servers with dedicated processors absorb operational data in real time, update models, and validate new versions without service interruption.
Dedicated processing
GPU Cluster
Parallel training and inference
Redundancy
Multi-region
99.97% availability
Scalability
Auto-scaling
Absorbs peaks without degradation
The Aretron architecture operates on two simultaneous levels. At the edge, each device executes local inference with latency under 50ms, ensuring uninterrupted operation even without connectivity. In the private cloud, servers with dedicated processors receive operational data, retrain models with new samples, validate versions, and distribute updates to the fleet. This cycle happens continuously, 24 hours a day, without any manual intervention.
Results in the Field
Real operational numbers. Auditable data. Results that municipalities and operators measure every day.
Increase in enforcement capacity
Reduction in response time
Transactions processed per month
False positive rate
Cities that have adopted Aretron AI report an average 340% increase in enforcement capacity and a 60% reduction in response time to irregularities. The Areatec ecosystem already exceeds 10,000 connected devices — OCR vehicles, fixed cameras, parking meters, IoT sensors, PDAs, and totems — feeding Aretron with real-time data and processing over 50 million transactions per month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers about Aretron, edge computing, accuracy, and integration.
Aretron is proprietary and runs at the edge. It does not rely on the cloud, has no network latency, and is not subject to policy or price changes from external APIs. It was trained specifically with data from 30 years of Areatec's real traffic and parking operations. Generic models do not have this level of specialization.
98.7% accuracy in normal conditions and over 95% in adverse conditions (rain, night, dirty or damaged plates). Aretron works in motion at up to 60km/h. Accuracy is continuously validated in real operations with over 500 million license plates already identified.
Yes. Aretron runs completely at the edge, on the device's dedicated hardware. Inference is 100% local and does not depend on connectivity. Continuous learning and model updates happen when connectivity is available, but operation is never interrupted.
Less than 50 milliseconds. This includes capture, preprocessing, inference, contextual validation, and registration in AreaChain. Everything happens on dedicated hardware, without relying on network latency or cloud processing.
Every Aretron result is automatically registered in AreaChain with an immutable digital chain of custody. This ensures complete traceability, legal compliance, and protection against evidence tampering. Essential for the legal validity of infringement notices.
Areatec holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 27001 (information security), PCI DSS (payment security), and SENATRAN certification according to Ordinance 984/2023. All processes are audited and compliant with Brazilian traffic and data protection legislation.
