Ahmedabad Traffic Police is planning to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) interceptor vans to make traffic management easier, according to sources.
Patrolling will be done at places without a signal or heavy traffic. Along with traffic regulation, e-memo will be issued to the drivers violating 14 types of traffic rules. Five such AI Interceptor memo vans have already been commissioned.
For offences like not wearing a helmet, overspeeding, violation of stop line, encroachment on BRTS route, no number plate, violation of traffic signal, triple riding, talking on phone while driving, wrong side driving, violation of no-parking rule, indiscriminate parking, no seat belt, e-memos will be issued, and sent to the address of the offender.
Ahmedabad currently has CCTV on 212 intersections. Intercept vans with AI cameras will be used at Shivaranjani, Shyamal, Sola, Gota, ISKCON and Pakwan circles as well as small lanes and narrow roads whenever necessary.
Police sources said that, along with patrolling, the interceptor van will capture vehicles causing traffic problems. A program with data of all vehicles has been created in coordination with traffic police and the RTO.
With this program, based on the number of the vehicle violating the rules, the AI interceptor will capture the photo and send it to the server of the control room and it will become an e-memo.
