AI cameras can detect nu,mber plate and speed of vehicle

Traffic violations of the past can also be uncovered

AI cameras have range of up to 250 meters

250 AI-enabled Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and 80 Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) cameras at 50 prominent junctions in Bengaluru. “We booked a total of 12.8 lakh cases between January and February 2023. Of this, 12.4 lakh cases (96%) were contactless. The number of traffic cops needlessly stopping motorists on roads has reduced. Instead, they are managing the traffic to ensure smooth-flow. Apart from visible violations like overspeeding /reckless driving and also drunken driving, we want to move towards 100% contactless enforcement,” MA Saleem, special commissioner of police (traffic) said in an interaction with Moneycontrol.

The traffic cameras were already capturing images of vehicles that had indulged in violations but with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the apparatus, the system has been further enhanced. The AI equipped cameras are capable of determining the speed and other dtetails of the vehicle.

Number plate details of the vehicle get noted due to algorithms that can identify the same. The range of the AI cameras extend up to 250 metres. The AI camera is connected to a web portal.  This web portal would provide a detailed history of the individual’s history including violations in the past.  The validity of documents such as fitness certificates would be verified through this process.
