The Jaipur Traffic Police has installed a fully automatic high-tech surveillance system in the city to check traffic rules violation and enhanced supervision. The soon to be made operational system will monitor and manage traffic on Reliance Jio's 4G IP/MPLS network with zero manual intervention.
Under the pilot project, the company has installed 273 high-tech cameras at various locations mainly in the walled city area which will be monitored by the Jaipur Traffic Police.
"The project is on testing mode and will be operationalised soon," a company official said in the control room of the traffic police here. The system automatically detects red light jumps and over speeding and records the vehicle's registration number.
It automatically generates the challan which will be approved by the monitoring officer, the official said. Of the 270 cameras at 115 different locations, 195 are presently operational and testing is going on, he said.
The cameras are of high resolution that provide better image quality as compared to the traditional surveillance solution. These devices can detect speed upto 160 kmph with zero manual intervention during day and night both.
The devices can identify objects up to 50 meters, recognise them up to 100 meters and monitor them up to 400 meters, while the night vision capabilities is up to 100 meters. The cameras can recognise registration plates of vehicles. DCP (traffic) Haidar Ali Zaidi said that the project will be operationalised in one month.
"The challan will be generated automatically and will be sent to the owner of the vehicle on the basis of the registration number," he said.
Zaidi said that besides traffic rules violations, the cameras will be useful for general surveillance too.
