  1. AI-based system to monitor traffic violations in Gurugram city.
  2. CCTV cameras detect lane, no-entry zone breaches by heavy vehicles.
  3. Online challans generated, sent directly to vehicle owners' homes.

Jagran Correspondent, Gurugram: In a major step to curb violations, the Gurugram Traffic Police will be monitoring the vehicle movement using artificial intelligence (AI). The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and the Gurugram Traffic Police are preparing to implement an AI-based traffic enforcement system in the city.

Under the proposed system, heavy vehicles violating lane driving rules and entering "no-entry" zones without permission will be identified through CCTV cameras. An online challan will then be generated and sent directly to the vehicle owner's address.

According to the GMDA, CCTV cameras already installed in the city will be integrated with AI technology. This system will automatically identify vehicles violating lane driving.

Officials believe that this will increase lane driving compliance on major roads, improve traffic management and also reduce road accidents.

31 garbage collection vehicles attached to ICCC

The GMDA has connected the city's 31 garbage collection vehicles to the CCTV network of the Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC). The registration numbers of all these vehicles have been mapped to the camera network. Now, as these vehicles pass through any part of the city, their location and activities can be monitored in real-time from the control center.

These vehicles collect solid waste from various areas of the city and transport it to the landfill site. The new system will also enable detection of whether waste has been dumped en route or disposed of improperly. In the event of a complaint, the vehicle involved will be immediately identified and action will be taken against it.

Action will also be taken against heavy vehicles entering 'no entry' zone

The GMDA and traffic police will also implement AI-based monitoring of heavy vehicle movement. Vehicles with valid traffic police permits will be automatically identified and exempted, while heavy vehicles entering "no entry" zones without permission will be identified through CCTV cameras and system-generated online challans will be issued.

Smart city management will get strengthened

Officials say the new technology will improve traffic enforcement, strengthen road safety, and provide a new impetus to technology-based urban management under the Smart City project. Furthermore, sanitation monitoring and accountability will be more effective than before.
