200 smart AI powered cameras start to detect traffic violations
Mangaluru: Nearly 200 smart cameras installed on Mangaluru city roads by the Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL) have started capturing images of traffic violators. Once implemented fully, the intelligent traffic management system will send auto-generated traffic slips to the mobile phones of vehicle owners.
Mangaluru City traffic police have already commenced the trial run, and violators have been receiving alert messages on their phones. However, the system will be officially launched in July, and thereafter, violators will have to pay penalties as per the Motor Vehicles Rules.
The high-resolution cameras installed at prominent locations in the city started detecting various violations, including two-wheeler riding without a helmet, car driving without a seat belt, wrong-side driving, and signal jumping.
The MSCL installed nearly 200 artificial intelligence cameras at various locations on the main roads of the city. High-resolution cameras equipped with AI tools are monitoring traffic flow and effectively detecting violations.
The cameras provide real-time visuals, while the AI tools analyse the captured footage to identify and track traffic offences.
DCP (crime & traffic) K Ravi Shankar told TOI that the entire system is under a trial run and it will be made fully functional from July 1.
"Those who violate traffic rules will receive messages on their mobile phones during the trial run. However, we are not framing charges based on the camera inputs for the time being. We are planning to launch the system from next month with the help of the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
All cameras are linked to the NIC. After completing all necessary procedures, the system will be in place to check traffic violations in the city. In the next 10 days, we will be able to rectify all technical issues," he said.
Smart cameras have been installed on MG Road, Bendoorwell, Mangaladevi, Pandeshwar, Mallikatta, Bejai, and several other locations.

Police said the incident took place due to excavation activity for a parking lot, and "the digging work had weakened the foundation of nearby houses". Mathura SSP Shlok Kumar said, "As many as six houses -- built on private plots on a mound -- in a densely populated residential area -- collapsed in Masani neighbourhood under Govind Nagar police station. A search and rescue operation was initiated. We are in the process of filing an FIR against one Sunil Chen, responsible for carrying out the excavation work." Those dead were Totaram, 35; and sisters Kajal, 3; and Yashoda 5. The two children had arrived at their grandparents' place from Vrindavan on Saturday evening and were asleep when the incident happened. Teams from NDRF, SDRF, fire department personnel and civil defence volunteers were pressed into action for rescue operation. Six bulldozers along with heavy machinery were also used to clear the concrete.
