The Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS), which the Bengaluru traffic police have adopted, uses AI-enabled cameras to detect traffic offences and send challans to mobile devices through SMS.
The goal, according to the special commissioner of police, is to send automatically created challans to violators and automatically detect traffic offences in a contactless manner. The ITMS uses AI and ML to automatically identify traffic infractions.
In the city, 30 significant traffic intersections now use the ITMS. The cameras won’t catch situations of drivers exceeding the speed limit, running red lights, or using the wrong lane for a turn, as well as infractions like driving without a helmet, triple-riding, or using a phone while driving.
With 250 automatic number plate recognition cameras and 80 red light violation detection cameras installed at 50 junctions, the system includes an AI-enabled solution. These cameras, which are operational 24 hours a day, are anticipated to save a significant amount of staff, which may be redeployed for traffic control and regulation and better public service.
The information gathered will be kept on a server that belongs to the traffic police. The team wants to track stolen cars and vehicles without licence plates in the future.
