- The Bengaluru traffic police have introduced an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS), where artificial intelligence-enabled cameras will detect traffic violations and issue challans through SMSs to mobile phones. Violations like speaking on mobile phones, Jumping Signals, and driving without seat belts. No more cops will stop hi-tech challans will follow you for violations.
- The artificial intelligence-enabled solution consists of 250 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras and 80 red light violation detection (RLVD) cameras. These cameras will automatically detect traffic violations and generate challans which will be then sent to violators via SMS and paper challans. These cameras record violations 24x7x365 and the entire system is completely automated. This system saves a lot of traffic manpower. This initiative also helps the traffic police in enhancing road safety through effective enforcement and ensuring road discipline, providing safer roads to commuters. It has been implemented at 50 important junctions across the city.
