NASHIK: The city traffic branch has collected fine of Rs 5.10 lakh from 2,550 motorists in the past five months for violating the no-entry zone at the Indiranagar underpass on the Mumbai Agra highway. The traffic department had made mandatory for only Govind Nagar bound motorists to use the underpass while the Indiranagar bound motorists were told to take a detour to reach the place. But still many motorists didn't pay heed to the rules and were caught violating by the CCTV cameras put up inside the underpass. On January 26 this year, the city police installed an artificial intelligence (AI) system at the Indiranagar underpass to keep check on motorists violating the underpass norms. Senior police officials said that the new application installed at the underpass was not only helping streamline the vehicular traffic inside the structure but also helping in spotting the defaulters so that they can be fined.

NASHIK: The Indiranagar underpass is notorious for rampant wrong-side driving. But a new system of smart cameras inside the underpass promises to eliminate the problem. It's a simple setup: the cameras snap photos of motorists entering the underpass from the wrong side and then automatically forwards the images to city police for further action. The system, which uses artificial intelligence, is under construction and will be inaugurated on January 26. Many motorists coming from Govindnagar frequently enter the underpass, which is a traffic violation as per a city police notification.
