Check how AI cameras on Mumbai-Pune Expressway will track traffic violations | Images
AI Cameras and Intelligent Traffic Management System on our highways will monitor and control traffic violations.
Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) is being installed on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and is expected to go live from June this year.
As many as 218 AI-enabled cameras are being installed on 39 gantries along the 95 kilometer Mumbai-Pune Expressway. These cameras will detect 17 types of traffic violations and they will read and recognize number plates of vehicles driven by errant drivers and capture the violation along with the details of the vehicle registration. This will help highway police to issue e-challans.
Recently, Alok Kumar, IPS, posted as ADGP Training, Traffic & Road Safety, Karnataka, Bengaluru shared pictures taken by AI-enabled cameras on Bengaluru-Mysore Highway. These pictures show drivers holding or using mobile phones while driving. The cameras have captured the images of violation along with the number plate details of the vehicle. Using these images as proof, the police have issued e-challans to errant drivers.

These images show instances of drivers using or holding their mobile phones while driving. However, the driving offenses are not limited to just mobile phone usage, but also cover irresponsible lane cutting and overtaking, halting, over-speeding etc.
However one thing that still remains a pain area is heavy vehicles occupying all three lanes of the highways, driving without tail lights and breaking down in the middle of the highways. Will this AI-enabled Intelligent Traffic Management System be able to monitor and penalize this behavior? Or at least is there an intention by law enforcement to reign in these killer monster trucks on our roads?
