The Pune City Traffic Police launched an Artificial Intelligence-based traffic violation detection system to automatically identify and penalise violators on Fergusson College Road from May 29. So far, in the last 40 days, the AI cameras have issued 2,290 challans.

Speaking to The Free Press Journal, Manoj Patil, Additional Commissioner of Police, said, "The response of AI cameras is good. After their installation on this particular stretch, we don't need manpower, and the good thing is that 99 per cent of these challans were issued to first-time offenders in recent days. This indicates the growing awareness and deterrence among regular commuters."

Among the challans issued, 1,200 are for parking violations, 674 for double parking, 433 for wrong-side driving, 13 for triple-seat riding, and six for talking on the phone while driving.

"The moment motorists realised that cameras had been installed, their behaviour changed. Most of the challans now are being issued to people visiting from outside the area who are unaware of the surveillance," said Patil.

"Pune Police is planning to expand the use of AI-based surveillance cameras to other major roads in the city after completing the ongoing three-month pilot project on FC Road," he added.
