Brazil: AI breaks new ground in safer driving on the Entrevias network
In Brazil, the Entrevias network is using artificial intelligence to strengthen road safety. AI-powered cameras detect risky driving behaviour in real time, helping teams deploy faster and more targeted prevention actions alongside highway police.
Operating two key highway corridors in the State of São Paulo, Entrevias has built a strong track record of operational innovation. Operationnally integrated into our VINCI Highways network since the end of 2025, the concession serves major agricultural and logistics areas around Ribeirão Preto and Marília. It is on these high-traffic routes that Entrevias is now pioneering a new use of artificial intelligence to support safer driving.
The system relies on AI-enabled cameras capable of identifying dangerous behaviour such as mobile phone use at the wheel and failure to wear a seatbelt. Detected in real time, these situations can then trigger targeted prevention and enforcement measures in coordination with the highway police. By making it possible to intervene more quickly and more precisely, the solution strengthens the effectiveness of road safety actions while supporting a more proactive approach to prevention.
More than a technology upgrade, this initiative reflects VINCI Highways’ ambition to use AI where it can deliver immediate, concrete value for road users and operators alike. On Entrevias, artificial intelligence is becoming a practical tool to address everyday safety risks and encourage more responsible driving behaviour.
This is not the only example in Brazil. On Via Cristais, our teams have also deployed AI to improve safety in patrol service vehicles. The system is designed to detect signs of driver fatigue and alert both the patrol operator and our control centre when reduced vigilance is identified. This adds a further layer to VINCI Highways’ workplace safety strategy by helping protect employees operating on the network.
With these deployments in Brazil, VINCI Highways continues to roll out the potential of artificial intelligence across all its geographies. AI-based initiatives are already being used to optimise tolling technologies in India and the United States, improve the performance of lighting and road systems in Greece, and support automatic incident detection in Slovakia and Peru.
