Arteris Litoral Sul leverages SecurOS® to monitor dangerous cargo, improve incident response on the BR-101 highway

ISS (Intelligent Security Systems) has announced a significant technology deployment for Arteris Litoral Sul, a major highway operator in Brazil. The project utilizes the SecurOS® platform to enhance safety and operational efficiency on the BR-101 highway, a critical logistics route connecting the cities of Itapema and Balneário Camboriú in the state of Santa Catarina. 

Arteris Litoral Sul, the private concessionaire responsible for managing this high-traffic segment, sought a solution to modernize its infrastructure, specifically regarding the transport of hazardous materials. To meet strict regulatory requirements and ensure the safety of commuters, the operator implemented ISS technology to automate the monitoring of dangerous cargo and accelerate incident response times. 

The deployment features the SecurOS® Auto Hazardous Cargo module, which uses advanced license plate recognition and placard decoding to identify vehicles carrying dangerous goods in real time. This system operates effectively even at high speeds or in adverse weather conditions, allowing the operator to track movement patterns and generate automated alerts. Additionally, the project includes Automatic Incident Detection (AID) capabilities, which continuously analyze camera feeds to identify stopped vehicles, wrong-way drivers, debris, congestion, and more. 

“The implementation of the Auto Hazardous Cargo module of the SecurOS® platform reflects the Arteris Group’s commitment to its users, to road safety, and to reducing environmental impact by using technology as a fundamental operational pillar,” said Sérgio Viana, Automation Manager at Arteris. “The deployment of ISS algorithms provides the operations team with a comprehensive view of highway traffic, without the need for continuous human monitoring, allowing operators to focus on management and decision-making.” 

By automating detection processes, the system instantly transmits precise location data and incident classifications to the Arteris Operational Control and Security Center. This rapid data transfer drastically reduces the time between an incident occurring and emergency teams responding, directly improving the safety of the roadway ecosystem. 

“Early detection of this type is especially critical in roadway environments, where incidents involving hazardous cargo can have severe consequences,” said Aluisio Figueiredo, CEO of ISS. “At ISS, technology is always at the service of protecting life and sustainability. With the implementation of our solution, strategic points on the BR-101 now operate with a high level of automation, intelligence, and reliability.” 

“Our commitment goes beyond providing cutting-edge technology; we work closely with our customers to truly understand their unique challenges,” added Daniel Feitosa, Head Director Brazil & Portugal at ISS. “By offering local support and integrating engineering expertise from project inception through deployment, we ensure our solutions are precisely aligned with operational needs and deliver meaningful results.”
