The Kerala Motor Vehicle Department has installed 726 AI cameras in the southern Indian state of Kerala for the 'Safe Kerala' project, which will utilize these cameras to identify traffic law violations and impose fines. The project is set to commence on April 20.
The violations that the AI camera will pick up on first are riding a two-wheeler without a helmet, riding with more than two passengers, using a phone while driving, and speeding through traffic lights.
In order to detect legal offences through cameras as part of the "Safe Kerala" project, the Motor Vehicle Department has opted to implement the "Fully Automated Traffic Enforcement System," claiming that roadside policing makes life difficult for the general public.
The cameras utilized in the 'Safe Kerala' project are powered by solar
energy, and data transmission is carried out through 4G LTE SIM. The
cameras' visual processing unit will scrutinize all passing vehicles,
and photographs of vehicles and drivers that violate traffic laws will
be transmitted to the control room of the Motor Vehicles Department. The
project has the capacity to accumulate six months' worth of footage of
infractions. The Motor Vehicles Department predicts that a maximum of
30,000 penalty notifications can be issued in a single day.
