Areatec Electronic Ticketing: the digital traffic notice from field to authority system

In one Android application, the officer starts the shift, identifies the vehicle through OCR, voice or keyboard, records the classification and evidence, reviews the traffic violation notice, works without continuous connectivity and synchronizes the record.

What it is

What is an electronic traffic ticketing system?

It is the application officers use to record and review a traffic violation notice in the field. Areatec Electronic Ticketing connects identity, vehicle data, classification, images, location, review, contingency and transmission to the environment defined by the authority.

Guided fields

The screen presents the data required by the configured workflow and avoids repeating information already available.

Record context

Images, location, date and time may accompany the notice when relevant, authorized and available.

Review before sending

The officer checks the plate, classification, notes and other fields before confirming the record.

Defined integration

Transmission follows the contracts, validations and rules agreed with the responsible authority.

How it works

How an officer records a digital traffic notice in six steps

The sequence keeps the event context visible and separates automated reading, professional review and decision. Fields, permissions and integrations follow each authority's procedure.

  1. 01

    Identity and shift

    The officer signs in with the authorized method, selects the sector and checks the device, connectivity, printer and shift resources.

  2. 02

    Vehicle identification

    The plate can be entered through OCR, voice or a dedicated keyboard. The officer reviews the characters before continuing.

  3. 03

    Visual context

    Proprietary OCR reads the plate and interprets make, model and color directly from the image, with confidence for each result.

  4. 04

    Classification and evidence

    The officer selects the classification, adds notes and gathers images, position, date and time when required by procedure.

  5. 05

    Notice review

    The screen brings the notice fields together for correction and review. Confirmation remains with the competent officer.

  6. 06

    Transmission and response

    The record is stored and sent to the authority's environment. Without continuous connectivity, synchronization resumes when the channel becomes available.

Artificial intelligence is useful when it helps identify inconsistencies and reduces repetitive work. It does not observe the event in place of the officer or turn a suggestion into a citation.

The operation in hand

The interface that follows the officer throughout the shift

Product screens show operational status, plate-input paths and where officer review is required. Navigation is organized for sunlight, noise, urgency and uneven connectivity.

Voice input

The officer speaks the characters and reviews the result before moving on.

Plate entry

Three ways to enter a plate, always followed by review

Noise, light and connectivity change throughout a shift. The officer chooses the suitable input and always reviews all seven characters.

OCR capture

The camera can propose visible plate characters. The image and result follow the review required by the authority.

Voice for Brazilian field conditions

The private engine accepts natural speech, the radiotelephony spelling alphabet, such as Alfa, Bravo and Charlie, and mixed input. It considers regional pronunciation while keeping review on screen.

Field keyboard

A dedicated keyboard provides large targets and separates letters, numbers and plate formats for gloves, haste or noisy environments.

AUTHENTICATED GEOLOCATION

Pintrust brings location context into the field screen

Pintrust compares the GNSS position with time, movement and signals from the device itself. Its state remains visible in the operation header and accompanies the context of each capture so the team can identify inconsistencies before proceeding. The result becomes part of the record; it does not replace officer review or turn location into standalone evidence.

Intelligent assistance

Aretron may suggest. The decision remains human.

Assisted reading

OCR may propose plate characters for officer review.

Field consistency

Rules may flag missing or incompatible data before submission.

Contextual lookup

The system may facilitate access to information required by the authorized workflow.

Professional confirmation

The officer remains responsible for observation, classification and confirmation.

Operational continuity

Device, synchronization and management are part of the product

The application does not operate alone. Devices, peripherals, data transport and fleet administration are defined in the project to sustain field work.

Device management

Inventory, dedicated mode, policies, app distribution and updates, lock and remote wipe can be included in project administration.

Devices validated for the project

Android models and accessories are assessed for camera, battery, durability, ergonomics, connectivity and management according to the operation.

Field peripherals

Printer, camera, GNSS and other planned resources are monitored in the officer's operational view.

DATARACE

The proprietary protocol assesses network conditions and coordinates transport to reduce the impact of unstable connections.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about deployment, integration and field use

Do electronic ticketing, electronic citation and digital traffic notice mean the same thing?

The terms usually refer to the same digital traffic-violation workflow, although each authority may use its own name. The central requirement is to let the officer record, review, preserve and transmit the data required by the official procedure.

What is an electronic traffic ticketing system?

It is a system used by an officer to record a traffic violation notice on a portable device. It organizes the required fields, may collect images and location data, and transmits the record to the environment defined by the traffic authority.

Is Areatec's Electronic Ticketing system approved by SENATRAN?

Yes. SENATRAN Ordinance 984/2023 approves for four years the Multas eBooklet Version 2.1.0-A software developed by Areatec. The ordinance was published in Brazil's Federal Official Gazette on January 19, 2024.

Does the system work when connectivity is lost?

Yes. SENATRAN Ordinance 997/2022 requires online and offline completion and storage of notices until transmission to the authority. The deployment defines synchronization, contingency, equipment and integrations for that workflow.

Does artificial intelligence choose the violation classification?

No. Aretron may assist with plate reading, field completion and consistency checks, depending on the contracted scope. Observation of the facts, classification, review and confirmation remain the responsibility of the officer and the competent authority.

Does electronic ticketing automatically eliminate paper?

It enables the paper pad and pen to be replaced in the workflow approved by the authority. The transition requires configuration, equipment, integration, training, contingency rules and the other procedures defined by the responsible authority.

Can it integrate with traffic-authority systems?

Yes, when the systems involved provide compatible interfaces and contracts. Integration design should define data, validations, authentication, error handling, contingencies and responsibilities before deployment.

How long does deployment take?

The timeline is defined after a technical assessment. The number of officers, devices, integrations, local rules, training, internal approvals and acceptance criteria all affect the schedule. The project proposal should document these dependencies.

How can a plate be entered in the field?

The configuration may provide OCR capture, a field keyboard and voice. Officers may speak the seven characters, use the radiotelephony spelling alphabet, such as Alfa, Bravo and Charlie, or combine both forms. Every reading must be reviewed before proceeding.

Which sign-in methods does Electronic Ticketing provide?

Officers can sign in through an image with liveness checks, a password or a graphical pattern. The authority's policy defines which methods are available for each profile and device.

Can the device be managed together with the system?

Yes, when device management is part of the project. Inventory, policies, dedicated mode, app distribution, updates, lock and remote wipe may be coordinated within the same operational design, with permissions and an administration trail.

Does the system also cover other field routines?

Yes. Depending on scope, the platform may support vehicle removal, traffic accident reports, general service reports, CRDO, agreement terms and vehicle checklists. Each module keeps its own procedure, permissions and integrations.
