Police moves proposal to UT Admin to clear pending RLVD system

In the proposed plan,sensors would be placed beneath a Stop Line (a white strip painted about a feet before the Zebra Crossing). According to the Motor Vehicle Act,a vehicle is required to stop before a Stop Line at a signal. Automated cameras would be placed at various traffic light point in the city. Both the sensors and the state of the art cameras would be connected to the main traffic light control room situated at Traffic Lines,Sector 29.

As soon as a vehicle crosses the Stop Line,its tyres would put pressure on the sensors. The sensors,in turn,would send a signal to the control room of a traffic violation. The control room would then send a signal to the CCTV camera to click photographs of the offending vehicle identified by the sensors.

The camera would click multiple shots,out of which at least one would be a ‘contextual’ photograph and another would be of registration number of the offending vehicle. The ‘contextual’ photograph would be a zoomed out picture of the area around the traffic light point which would include the offending vehicle. This is to ensure that no traffic offender,at the time of payment of challan,alleges that the photograph of the registration number of his offending vehicle was clicked without commitment of any offence.

“This new system would save a lot of time. Manual work would be reduced to a great extent. We have visited New Delhi where this system is already in practice. We wish to the start the same here in UT as well,” said SSP Traffic and Security Maneesh Chaudhry.
