AI Cameras and No Helmet Detection Systems to be installed on Roads to Detect helmetless riders
Even though you don’t find any traffic police on signals, don’t be
shocked if you get challan delivered to your home next time for riding without
a helmet. Kerala Police has been one of the firsts to install No Helmet Detection System on all major state highways to detect riders violating traffic rules
by not wearing helmets and charge heavy fines on them. They have been
installing Helmet Absence Violation Detection System (HAVDS) to detect
violators with cameras and to deliver system-generated e-challans to their
doorsteps.
HAVDS is a digital no helmet detection system introduced by Integrated
Digital Traffic Enforcement System, the flagship program by state police valued
at INR 80 Cr. In the initial implementation stages, it is going to be the first
project by state police of its kind.
According to the officials, a global tender had been invited for this
project. HAVDS is supposed to be helpful to book violators and reduce disputes
between police and the public whenever offenders have to go through vehicle
inspections. It will detect the riders without helmets. The system can easily
differentiate between turbans, caps, construction helmets and helmets and mark
the violations. In-camera view, it can detect 2-wheelers via video, detect
absence/presence of helmet on the passenger and rider, and trigger number plate
recognition if they violate traffic rules.
According to the technical specs mandated by law enforcement, the
traffic enforcement cameras will detect vehicles speeding on the roads
exceeding a specific limit. It can also detect riders covering their faces and
flag them. Evidence with a 5-second video and a high-quality picture showing
violation will be saved and violators will be fined. It will also show the
street name, area, timestamp and date on the images of traffic rule violations.
Red Light violation system will also be installed to detect vehicles
jumping red lights or stop lines. It can also detect the vehicles entering
illegal trajectories. No Helmet Detection system can easily detect violators
with AI cameras and generate e-challans with a system.
AI Cameras to be used to detect Riders without Helmet
The ambitious plan of Ghaziabad Development Authority, Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) has
proposed the use of AI and to install cutting-edge equipment on Hindon Elevated
Road to nab bikers without helmets, motorists violating traffic rules and
manage traffic. With audio and video facilities, emergency call buttons will
also be installed on a 6-lane stretch of 10.3 km at four points. The
authorities have planned to install ITMS by November in association with
Technosys Security Systems, according to the officials.
An official has confirmed that a survey had been conducted on
vulnerable spots of Hindon Elevated Road with GDA officials across the 10.3 km
long stretch. There are six AI cameras proposed to be used across the road on
both sides, especially at the points of entry and exit. The system will capture
the pictures of riders without helmets and two-wheelers traveling with three
passengers. The system can be made out with artificial intelligence if a rider
is found wearing a turban or without a helmet. The system can also detect
tripling as it can perform headcount with maximum efficiency.
Similarly, these places will also have automatic number plate
recognition systems to click pictures of traffic violations like over speeding of
vehicles. These systems will be connected to regional traffic office databases
and generate challans to send to the homes of traffic violators directly.
Emergency call boxes have also been installed at vantage points on the whole
stretch in case of any trouble. It is also going to have a public address
system. The emergency call box will be connected to the control room with an
audio and video facility.
Bottom Line
All in all, a no-helmet detection system might come up as a great help
to reduce road accidents and fatal injuries at the end. With fear of heavy
fines, riders will be forced to follow traffic rules and wear helmets to
protect them.
