SRINAGAR: An Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) is now operational in Srinagar, and e-challans will be issued to traffic violators starting tomorrow.
This initiative aims to enhance traffic regulation and ensure road safety by promoting adherence to traffic rules.
According to sources, the authorities have urged drivers to drive safely and follow traffic rules to avoid penalties under the new e-challan system.
The ITMS, implemented by the traffic police, seeks to streamline law enforcement and minimise manual interventions.
Meanwhile, a tweet from Traffic Police Srinagar reads, “INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ITMS): E-Challans will be initiated against traffic violators in Srinagar through ITMS from tomorrow, as the system is functional now. Drive safely & follow traffic rules.”
A video attached to the tweet highlights ITMS features, stating that high-resolution cameras strategically placed at intersections and highway ramps capture live video feeds, analysed by computer vision algorithms to identify traffic conditions, vehicle types, and potential incidents.
Additionally, the video showcases sensors such as inductive loop detectors and radar sensors, which detect vehicles at intersections and along roads. These sensors measure traffic volume, speed, and occupancy, providing real-time data on road conditions.
The sensor and camera data are integrated into a centralised Traffic Management Centre or cloud-based platform, where advanced software processes the data in real-time to understand traffic patterns and identify potential congestion points. (KNO)
