40 traffic signals with Red Light Violation Detection & Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to go live through the command and control room by May-end in Nashik city
Nashik: The Smart City corporation has set up Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at 40 out of the total 55 traffic signals across Nashik city. These traffic signals will go live through the
command and control room
by the end of May.
All these high-tech cameras are integrated with the command and control room of the smart city corporation, located at the Panchavati divisional building of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC).
Sumant More, the CEO of Nashik Municipal Smart City Development Corporation Ltd (NMSCDCL), told TOI they have started testing the RLVD and ANPR cameras at seven junctions — including Central Bus Stand, Trimbak Naka, Meher Signal, Canada Corner, Sharanpur Road, Gangapur Naka and Dream Castle on Makhmalabad Road — in the first phase.
During the testing, it was found that more than 7 lakh vehicles crossed the traffic signals at seven locations over six days between April 19 and 24. Of them, around 50,000 jumped signals when they were red. Some vehicles violated the signals twice, thrice or more. "The history of the vehicles regarding the violations of the red signals can also be seen through the command and control room," More said.

The Smart City corporation is planning to make CCTVs at all 40 traffic signals live through the command and control room in May, he added. NMSCDCL urged the Nashik Municipal Corporation to paint zebra crossings at these 40 traffic signals at the earliest so that the RLVD and ANPR cameras can be made operational next month. They need the marking of the zebra line from the NMC administration. Once it is done, the cameras can go live, added More.
Moreover, the online challans will be sent directly to the red signal violators through the command and control room. NMSCDCL also provided training to the NMC and police personnel to enable them to operate the command and control room. The installation of RLVD and ANPR cameras at the 40 traffic signals is part of the CCTV project, under which a total of 1,300 CCTV cameras are installed at around 350 locations across the city. They are integrated with the civic body's command and control room.
