Advanced Traffic Management System/ Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR) cameras

ATMS involved a trial run of the fully automated Traffic Regulatory Management System (TRMS), Involving usage of surveillance cameras in the city of Chennai. This project involved installing sophisticated cameras, wireless towers and poles, under the Rs. 3-crore-State government funded project. Automatic Number Plate Reader (ANPR) cameras were installed in 28 out of 42 vantage points in the city, while „Pan Tilt Zoom‟ (PTZ) cameras were deployed in 10 out of 12 busy junctions identified. The traffic police also plan to install 40 CCTV cameras at various junctions.

This is to warn motorists who blatantly violate rules and monitor traffic on arterial roads during peak hours. This integrates various sub-systems (such as CCTV, vehicle detection, communications, variable message systems, etc.) into a coherent single interface that provides real time data on traffic status and predicts traffic conditions for more efficient planning and operations. Dynamic traffic control systems, freeway operations management systems, incident response systems etc. respond in real time to changing conditions.
