Traffic rules breaking is no more easy in Delhi govt to install AI based cameras.

From detecting triple riding to people using phones while driving, from overage vehicles plying in the city to vehicles without valid PUC, the Delhi government is planning to install artificial intelligence-based cameras to detect traffic violations. The entire project of installing automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) based violation detection cameras is estimated to cost Rs 20 crore. The Delhi government’s transport department has issued a tender for the purchase of such cameras and supporting technology.

There will be improvements on the roads

To improve road safety on the roads, the department has started installing Integrated Traffic Enforcement Management System (ITMS) across Delhi, which will help reduce accidents and related incidents with the help of advanced AI based video analytics technology based solutions. The aim of ITMS is to reduce the number of traffic rule violators, punish the violators and spread road safety awareness in the areas, so that Delhi’s roads can be safer for everyone from pedestrians to drivers.

Those who break the rules will be identified

The system will allow the operator to create traffic rules such as no heavy vehicles during specified times of the day for selected traffic junctions/cameras. The system will identify heavy vehicles and generate an alert if the vehicle violates the rule during the specified time frame. The system will monitor the violation history of each vehicle and generate reports as required.

Delhi The traffic violations include exceeding speed limit, riding without helmet, triple riding, driving without seat belt, being on phone call while driving, carrying goods without covering, overloading for commercial vehicles, driving in wrong lane, buses not running in designated lanes, parking private vehicles on roads, parking non-registered overage vehicles in public places or on roads, driving vehicles without valid PUCC on roads, etc. Apart from this, driving vehicles even when odd-even scheme or GRAP Stage III or GRAP Stage IV restrictions are in force is also a traffic violation. ITMS will provide various types of traffic violation detection using AI and deep learning based technology.

The ANPR software system will capture vehicles under license plate and vehicle category like car, heavy vehicle, three-wheeler, two-wheeler and bus etc. The system will save the license plate and vehicle category information in the system database for all transactions. The ITMS will classify the license plate into good (readable), bad (slightly or completely unreadable), broken and license plate without number.
