Heading towards a tech savvy mode of identifying traffic offenders,the Chandigarh traffic police has moved a proposal to the UT Administration to clear the policy of installing Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) system comprising sensors that would automatically identify vehicles jumping red light at traffic signals.
The system would also include state of the art CCTV cameras that would automatically click photographs of offending vehicles. A traffic light control room would coordinate between the sensors and the CCTV cameras during the process.
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.
