Cameras on 600 buses to record violations and “cut” tickets in real-time – How the AI system will work

600 buses will be equipped with cameras to monitor traffic violations in real time and issue fines. The system, powered by Artificial Intelligence, will not only record driving behaviour but also collect traffic data and identify infrastructure issues.

The plan involves deploying digital cameras on selected buses to detect violations and ensure smooth traffic flow on bus lanes while documenting road network problems. This initiative is part of a larger project aiming to enhance public transport efficiency and passenger safety.

The advanced technology includes high-resolution cameras, IoT sensors for real-time data collection, AI algorithms for object recognition, and software for analysing video feeds. The system will track traffic conditions, road infrastructure status, and vehicle violations to improve urban mobility.

By analysing collected data, critical metrics such as vehicle speed, congestion levels, and COβ‚‚ emissions will be calculated and visualised on heat maps for identifying network issues promptly. The system integration with public sector databases will allow seamless information exchange for efficient traffic management.

The project aligns with road traffic regulations and prioritises data privacy compliance under GDPR guidelines. Future enhancements may include identifying new violation categories like speeding or pedestrian crossing violations. The estimated contract value covers the implementation period with possibilities for extensions based on operational needs.

The Deputy Minister of Transport highlighted the system’s role in ensuring consistent bus operations, shorter travel times, and enhanced road safety. The focus remains on safeguarding bus lanes from misuse to facilitate smoother public transport services benefiting commuters daily.
