Trecent Systems: Innovating Transportation Technology for Complex Challenges

CIO Vendor Transportation techno- logy is multifaceted, requiring solutions that navigate weather, infrastructure cons- traints, and user behavior. In India, the reliance on imported hardware and software exacerbates these complexities, parti-cularly in systems like Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), where relia- bility and real-time data processing are crucial. Furthermore, the lack of support for diverse tolling methods reduces operational efficiency, leaving organizations struggling to find scalable, cost-effective solutions. To address the specific needs of transportation technology in complex environments, Trecent Systems is offering indigenous solutions designed specifically for the Indian context.

Tailored Solutions

Trecent Systems specializes in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), focusing on innovative, user-centered solutions. CEO Imtiyaz Shaikh emphasizes the importance of understanding client challenges through extensive research. “Our approach begins with a deep understanding of our client’s challenges, grounded in extensive research”, says Shaikh. “The insight informs the development of our technical solutions, ensuring they are practical and effectively address the real-world needs of our clients”, he adds.

This commitment to practicality is reflected in the design of its toll management solutions. Unlike conventional systems that only manage point based toll plazas, Trecent’s technology accommodates point-based and distance-based tolling, offering features like free-flow tolling for seamless payment and real-time revenue collection. This solution has been successfully implemented on key highways in northern India.

Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS)

Trecent's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) has gained attention for its real-time analytics and incident detection capabilities. It can identify
illegally parked vehicles, and road obstructions, and even track vehicles moving in the wrong direction. The ATMS integrates with the Advanced Driver Advisory System (ADAS), providing emergency responders with real-time navigation to incident sites, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Trecent systems are designed with full backward compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure, whether on Windows, MacOS, Linux, or any relational database. It supports older systems as well as new hardware, including FASTag feeders, cameras, and calling hardware from control rooms, while also accommodating LED displays installed on highways. Its solutions allow immediate integration of any new hardware from domestic or international suppliers. A significant challenge was integrating Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, given the variability in camera quality and suppliers across regions. Despite these complexities, the system now supports every type of camera available in India, ensuring smooth ANPR functionality over a network spanning more than 1,000 kilometers.

Strategic Shift Toward Product Development

Before its founding in 2021, the company operated in software services, providing development and cloud infrastructure solutions. Building on its success, Trecent Systems is strategically shifting towards product development. Over the past two years, it has expanded its portfolio across transportation, healthcare, hospitality, and cybersecurity. With a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), it is investing heavily in advanced traffic systems to innovative healthcare solutions, preparing for an AI-driven future where its products will serve private enterprises and public-sector clients.

While continuing to support existing clients, Trecent is streamlining its services to focus on scaling its product offerings. It is developing products across four major domains, including cybersecurity. This evolution from a small entity to a key player in transportation technology highlights its innovative approach and dedication to meeting client needs. As it grows, Trecent Systems is poised to lead in intelligent transportation solutions and beyond.
