In the coming months, the city of Delhi, India, install surveillance cameras controlled by artificial intelligence at the entrances to the capital to check traffic violations, including those related to pollution control regulations, local authorities say.

The cameras will be able to read license plates and identify the owner of the vehicle, as well as verify that they have a valid pollution control certificate. Otherwise, the driver will be issued an e-challan, an electronic road ticketing system used in India, and must pay a fine.

The data captured by the cameras will be integrated into the e-challan system and there are plans to integrate it with the environmental offset tax levied by the Delhi local government on commercial vehicles entering the city. This will reduce manual intervention and improve the efficiency of traffic management.

Cameras capture speeding and lack of seat belts

The plan is to install two cameras in each lane, one for license plate reading and one for other violations, such as speeding and not wearing a seatbelt, the sources said. The installation of the cameras is to take place at 13 major entry points in Delhi and at the NDMC entry points.

The ambitious project is expected to be launched within a month and a half, according to a transport department spokesman. “We are working on the tender documentation and finalizing the details. The cameras are expected to be installed in the coming months,” the official said.

This project is part of the Delhi government’s efforts to improve road safety in the city and enforce pollution control regulations. The initiative also aims to reduce manual intervention and improve traffic enforcement, making the city safer and more resilient.
