How It Works: Altumint’s Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) Programs Explained

Every police department wants safer roads, but departments across the country are stretched thin. Most officers witness dangerous driving almost daily. They know the impact a single decision behind the wheel can have on a life. But covering every school zone, intersection, and neighborhood isn’t realistic.

That’s why communities need automated traffic enforcement programs to fill the gap. Altumint’s ATE programs are built to support law enforcement by extending your reach without adding more pressure on your department.

Technology That Works Like Backup You Can Count On

Altumint’s Automated Traffic Enforcement technology helps reduce speeding and red light running in high-risk areas, capturing violations and routing them through a secure, reviewable process.

Our systems include:

• Photo Speed Enforcement for school zones, work zones, and residential areas
• Photo Red Light Enforcement at high-risk intersections

These tools aren’t just about issuing tickets. They’re about deterring dangerous behavior and changing how drivers respond to risk in the most vulnerable areas of your city.

How Automated Traffic Enforcement Works — And Why It’s Reliable

The process is straightforward. When a vehicle breaks the law, it’s captured by Altumint’s Viocam Vision System. Our software pulls key vehicle details like make, model, color, license plate, and state. It also logs the time, location, and nature of the violation.

All of this is sent to our secure system, Vioview, where the data is verified and prepared for your officers. Nothing is sent out without your review and approval. After your team signs off, the citation is mailed to the violator.

Everything from customer support to payment processing stays in the U.S. That means your agency gets full transparency and better control of your program.

What It Means for Your Community

The results are meaningful. Violators fund the program, not your department. There’s no upfront cost for the city, and many of our agency partners use the funds they recover to pay for safety improvements like signage or school resource support.

The impact goes even further for school leaders. Many districts face crossing guard shortages, concerns from parents about unsafe drop-off zones, or pressure from school boards to improve safety near campuses. Altumint’s Automated Traffic Enforcement technology gives communities a way to address those concerns without straining law enforcement or school staff.

For drivers, the message is clear: if you follow the law, you don’t get a citation.
