Traffic police deploys 32 vehicles with dash camera; 28 officers issued mobile enabled Al-cameras under One Nation, One Challan
As part of the initiative to curb A traffic violations, 32 traffic police vehicles have been Loutfitted with dash cameras, while 28 officers have been issued mobile Al-enabled cameras. These cutting edge systems are designed to identify violations such as driving without a helmet, risky manoeuvres and failure to wear seatbelts. The captured infractions, in the form of photos or videos, will serve as evidence for issuing challans (fines).
City Police Commissioner G S Malik flagged off the Al-equipped vehicles on Wednesday.
How it works
The Al cameras automatically detect violations like triple riding, wrong- side driving and not using seatbelts. The footage is then transmitted to a cloud server and forwarded to the National Informatics Centre (NIC). At the traffic control room, operators verify the infractions before generat- ing challans through the “One Nation, One Challan” system. Offenders will be notified via text messages.
Impressive trial results
Trial runs conducted on SG Highway and at interceptor units have already showcased the system’s effectiveness.
During the tests, police recorded 794 instances of helmetless riding, 21 cases of risky driving, 14 instances of triple riding, and four cases of seatbelt violations. Future enhancements may include the capability to monitor no parking zones and other traffic infractions.
Reducing conflicts, enhancing fairness
Historically, the process of issuing fines often resulted in confrontations between drivers and officers.
However, the introduction of body. worn cameras had already minimised such disputes. With Al-enabled cameras now in operation, enforcement becomes even more impartial, relying solely on recorded evidence.
“We believe this technology will help us enforce rules fairly and reduce conflicts with the public. However, it’s equally important for citizens to take responsibility by adhering to traffic laws,” said Commissioner Malik
