To make its traffic violation management more efficient and to maximize road safety and traffic flows, Indonesian traffic police have implemented an innovative AIoT solution from Hikvision.
Here's the story. Indonesia is one of the largest economies and the fourth most populated country in the world. What's more, its most densely populated regions, such as Jakarta and South Sumatra, endure extremely high volumes of highway traffic every day. Many of these densely populated regions are suffering from chronic congestion due to growing numbers of vehicle along with traffic violations and accidents.
Even worse, the lack of a smart video system was causing a lot of manual work. This problem fell primarily on the traffic police, who had to keep eyes on each camera present in their assigned areas to drivers violating traffic laws.
In addition to this, when police spotted a driver violating the rules, they had to manually note down the vehicle number and file a report. It also resulted in many human errors with traffic ticket handling and administration. To raise awareness of safety and to reduce the number of traffic violations, Korlantas, the traffic department of the Indonesian police force, decided to implement its Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement, or ETLE.
To achieve this, the first step is to install smart traffic cameras. To address the country's ticketing problems, Hikvision developed customized algorithms to identify the most common kinds of traffic violations handled in Indonesia. Violations that the system can pick up include running a red light or stop sign, wrong-way driving, improper lane usage, illegal parking, motorcycle overloading and riding without helmets, odd-even plate violations, speeding, unfastened seatbelts, and using a cell phone while driving, among others.
