Police have detected over 2.33 lakh traffic violations in Belagavi district, in Karnataka, in the last six weeks using modern technology-enabled tools.
They are using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered surveillance cameras. In just 42 days, the AI-based traffic enforcement system has detected a staggering 233,892 traffic violations, and helped police collect more than ₹5 crore in fines.
The AI cameras, installed at major junctions in taluk headquarters across the district, have been deployed to improve road safety, enforce traffic discipline, reduce accidents, and ensure continuous monitoring of violations. Operating round-the-clock, the cameras are monitoring traffic at busy intersections in towns, including Bailhongal and Athani, making it increasingly difficult for violators to evade penalties, according to Superintendent of Police K.
