“The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) OCC set up at Chirle is a state-of-the-art infrastructure. The pan-tilt zoom cameras have been placed giving a 360 degree view of movement of traffic on MTHL round the clock. Besides, the cameras are also equipped with a new age Artificial Intelligence system which can detect different types of traffic violations– speed, rash driving and the visuals are directly being sent to the police for further action. Besides, there are cameras below the bridge also to keep a watch in the water area. New technology is in use and in case of an emergency police are alerted immediately,” Mukherjee elaborated.
