Bangalore takes enforcement to a new level

The new traffic management centre (TMC) being set up in Bangalore, India is intended to take enforcement to a new level, enabling city police to watch at least 275 traffic junctions in the city and even issue tickets from one control room.

The new traffic management centre (TMC) being set up in Bangalore, India is intended to take enforcement to a new level, enabling city police to watch at least 275 traffic junctions in the city and even issue tickets from one control room. With a huge video wall at the control room and high-end cameras on the roads, they can even zoom in on the offender's face.

Cameras installed across the city will beam live images to the video wall, where around 40 police officers will analyse this data real time. If there is a traffic jam, the TMC will be able to guide officers on the ground to divert vehicles. It will also coordinate during emergencies.

Police on the streets are also equipped with digital cameras; the new system will ensure images from these cameras are sent directly to the control room.

"It provides more space for traffic operations to take place," said B Dayananda, Addl CP (traffic). “The new centre is equipped with a huge video wall. We can monitor the entire traffic or project one junction big on screen.”  His predecessor, M A Saleem, says, "It's not limited to traffic enforcement. An officer here can manage traffic in the city.”
