Given the ever increasing addition of new vehicles on roads, the issue of traffic jams proves to be difficult to deal with. In such a scenario, management of traffic has always posed a challenge and may continue to become more difficult with every passing day unless innovative means are not taken to deal with the situation.
In contemporary times, the solution appears to be in leveraging advanced technologies and intelligent measures.
In this context, 600 cameras are being installed as a part of the intelligent traffic management and surveillance system to monitor vehicular traffic and its violations in Jammu.
Actually, the Lieutenant Governor inaugurated Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) as a nerve centre of civic operations and traffic management on March 13.
Initiated in November 2022, the project will have a chain of 600 cameras, mostly pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras watching traffic movement in Jammu city.
The smart system is tipped to detect automatic vehicle number plate identification, red light violations, stolen vehicle identification and use of mobile phones while driving among other things.
The new technology is expected to help the police to detect and register cases against persons for not wearing helmets, over speeding, triple-riding, stop line violations, speaking over the phone while driving and other violations.
Besides detecting traffic movements, violations, the Intelligent Traffic Cameras can manage entry and exit of vehicles and manage parking everything automatically.
As per experts, cameras have now come to serve as the optimized eye for Intelligent Traffic Systems, delivering high quality images even under the most challenging of conditions.
The intelligent traffic management and surveillance system (ITMSS) automatically encrypts and transfers data of violation centralised server at the traffic police headquarters.
The system would consist of camera-mounted sensors for better detection of traffic violations, which would relay the data to the central control room managed by the traffic department, officials said.
It is surely a step that would help authorities better manage the vehicular flow and catch violators.
It is hoped that the Intelligent Traffic Management System equipped with the latest traffic technology will make the city traffic safer and more efficient. The technological solutions shall improve integrated and networked mobility, increase road safety and congestion-free traffic flows on busy routes and concerned authorities must ensure implementation in letter and spirit. |
