Cutting-Edge Traffic Management and Rule Violation Detection System for Gujarat Police

May 7, 2022

The Gujarat Police faced a pressing need to modernize their traffic management and enforcement capabilities. Inefficient manual processes and a lack of automated systems resulted in significant challenges, including:

  • Difficulty in tracking and managing traffic flows across the city

  • Ineffective enforcement of traffic rules and regulations

  • Inability to quickly identify and respond to traffic-related incidents

6thlabs was tasked with developing a solution that could address these pain points and provide the Gujarat Police with a powerful tool to enhance public safety and improve traffic flow.

The Solution

The Tracy system, developed by 6thlabs, is a fully distributed system that can scale seamlessly as the number of cameras in the city increases. Powered by cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning technologies, the solution offers a range of advanced features:

  1. Vehicle Tracking: The system can track vehicles across multiple cameras, allowing for the identification and monitoring of individual vehicles as they move through the city.

  2. Vehicle Feature-based Search: Using the YOLOv5 object detection model, the system can identify and classify vehicles based on their color, text, and symbols. This enables the Gujarat Police to quickly locate and track specific vehicles of interest.

  3. Traffic Management: By analyzing vehicle density and flow, the Tracy system can optimize traffic signal timings, helping to reduce congestion and improve overall traffic management.

  4. Rule Violation Detection: The system can automatically detect a variety of traffic rule violations, including seatbelt usage, helmet usage, and overcrowding of vehicles. With an accuracy of over 90%, this feature enables efficient and consistent enforcement of traffic regulations.

  5. Integrated Number Plate Recognition: The Tracy system incorporates a custom-trained number plate recognition model that can accurately detect and read license plates, supporting various plate formats and styles.

  6. Distributed Architecture: The system is designed with a distributed architecture, where each camera has its own server that processes the feed and shares relevant data with neighboring cameras. This ensures scalability and resilience, with a centralized master server overseeing the entire network.

The Results

The deployment of the Tracy system has been a resounding success for the Gujarat Police. The solution's cutting-edge capabilities have significantly enhanced the department's ability to manage traffic, enforce regulations, and respond to incidents in a timely and effective manner.

Some of the key achievements include:

  • Improved Traffic Flow: The system's traffic management capabilities have led to a noticeable reduction in congestion and smoother traffic flow throughout the city.

  • Increased Rule Compliance: The accurate detection and reporting of traffic violations have encouraged better driver behavior and improved compliance with traffic regulations.

  • Enhanced Public Safety: The ability to quickly identify and track vehicles, as well as detect rule violations, has contributed to a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians.

  • Streamlined Operations: The distributed architecture and automated processes have reduced the workload on the Gujarat Police, allowing them to focus on higher-level strategic initiatives.
