96 The technological evolution has brought the transport, transit and urban mobility sectors countless solutions to facilitate people’s lives or improve control and supervision of operations by the public sector. Smart Transport Systems (STS) have evolved as solutions for this purpose, and presuppose the existence of infrastructure, equipment and systems that allow their use on the desired scale. In general, it can be said that a large number of these solutions are for one-off problems or for a particular economic or social segment. There are few STS solutions implemented on a national scale in Brazil, mainly those that allow the collection and automated flow of vehicle and cargo data by government bodies and the provision of useful information for society, benefiting citizen, the production sector and the government. The National Automatic Vehicle Identification System (SINIAV), created by the National Traffic Council (CONTRAN) in 2006 with the initial objective of being one of the instruments of the National Policy for Prevention of Vehicle and Load Theft, is presented in this context as a facilitating instrument for the application of smart solutions in the transport sector, which will enable strategic applications for other sectors as well. Among the possibilities for using information and communication technologies (ICT) in vehicle identification, the following stand out: public safety and the prevention of vehicle crime; a national defense policy and strategy; a national intelligence policy; tax inspection and control; supervision, control and operational planning of cargo and passenger road transport; reliable and effective information for transport planning and logistics; traffic planning and management; traffic monitoring and the provision of real-time information; supervision of traffic and urban transport; solutions for smart cities through the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (STS), smart traffic networks, operational control centers -(OCC), parking zones, vehicle rotation and controlled access to restricted areas. SINIAV also allows countless private applications, such as access control to residential communities and parking lots, automatic toll and fuel payment at gas stations, among other solutions. As can be seen, SINIAV makes applications possible that result in numerous benefits the state and for society. So, the problems that prevent the implementation of STS must be identified and the management model reviewed, considering the technological, institutional and regulatory aspects. This analysis and review proposal are the objects of a doctoral thesis by the author on the Post Graduate Program in Transport at the University of Brasilia, to be completed in July 2017. Integrated Transportation Information System By considering SINIAV to be an opportunity for the unification of vehicle identification procedures and, consequently, the automated collection of traffic and cargo data, several agencies of the Federal Government may adopt it as a premise for the development or updating of their systems. Thus, important national projects may use SINIAV, such as Brazil-ID, the National Weighing Program, the National Traffic Counting Program, the scheduling system for loading and unloading operations in Brazilian ports, The National Land Transport Registry (RNTRC), for which the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) initially adopted the first generation of SINIAV tags (generation zero). In view of technological evolution and the various normative changes to SINIAV, the ANTT recently revised its specifications in order to allow the adoption or incorporation of new technologies, as required by the RNTRC. A project entitled “Intelligent Solutions in Transportation” was prepared by the Ministry of Transport in 2012 with the participation of DNIT, ANTT and Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), to develop a system for the integration of traffic and cargo information. The project consists of the installation of a pilot station to collect information regarding the following data: volumetric classificatory count, instantaneous speed, axle weight, gross / combined weight, truck and bus identification, RNTRC identification, and cargo transported. It uses Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) technologies, electronic radars or road bumps, video monitoring and vehicle identification by SINIAV, as shown in figure 1. Figure 1 - the Integrated Transportation Information System (Barbosa, 2017) 1 Recently returned to, the system design will allow the automated collection of data and the integration of this information on a consolidated basis, making it available to the various federal government agencies (figure 2). SINIAV is a premise considered in the development of this system for the automated collection of data.
