Drive carefully in Bengaluru as police launches new system for issuing automatic challan. Details here

If you live in Bengaluru and travel by road, you should now take extra care about not violating any traffic rule as Bengaluru traffic police has introduced a new automatic system to tackle traffic violations in Bengaluru. As per a report, the Bengaluru's traffic police has introduced an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) in the city to detect traffic violations and issue challans automatically.

The Bengaluru ITMS system will pick up the following traffic violations:
1. Exceeding the speed limit
2. Jumping the red lights
3. Triple riding on two-wheeler vehicles

4. Talking on mobile phone while driving
5. Not wearing a seat belt

According to a report published in a news paper, the ITMS system is an AI-based system with cameras to detect traffic infractions. According to an interview with the special commissioner of police (traffic), the ITMS has been implemented in the city to catch traffic violations in a contactless manner and send automatically generated challans to the violators with least amount of human involvement.

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommi launched the ITMS system this week in the state's capital. A state-of-the-art technological system is currently present at 50 significant traffic intersections in the nation's IT capital. The ITMS system consists of 250 ANPR cameras (automatic number plate recognition) and 80 RLVD cameras (red light violation detection).

A challan will automatically be generated and sent to the violator via SMS as soon as the camera detects a traffic violation. Developed by Videonetics Technology, the software is produced by a private company called Matrix Security and Surveillance.
