Intelligent Traffic Management System: With the approval of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, work will begin on integrating the toll gate system with Fastag.
Intelligent Traffic Management System: Violation of road safety laws is going to cost you heavily. The South Indian state of Karnataka has decided to launch the Intelligent Traffic Management System. Under this system, the Bengaluru-Mysore road network will be equipped with cameras. The cameras installed here will identify the violators of the laws so that immediate action can be taken against them. The government is trying to issue challans through Fastag. For this, efforts are also being made to connect the toll gates to the Intelligent Traffic Management System.
Cameras and speed guns will be installed on Bengaluru-Mysore Expressway
Karnataka Police has also distributed 155 laser speed guns including 800 alcometers across the states to check drunk drivers. Alok Kumar, ADGP of Traffic and Road Safety, said that from July 1, the entire Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway will be equipped with Intelligent Traffic Management System. This system was launched in Bengaluru in December 2022. Under the ITMS technology, 250 automatic number plate recognition cameras and 80 red light detection cameras have been installed at 50 major junctions. From July 1, traffic violators in Mysore will start receiving challans.
SMS alerts will come in real time for breaking traffic rules
Alok Kumar told Deccan Herald that a traffic management center has been set up in Mysore. Soon, rule violators will start receiving SMS alerts in real time. Many areas will be monitored with the help of cameras. He said that ITMS will be installed on all highways connecting Bengaluru. The State Road Transport Authority has approved this proposal. For this, tenders will be issued by the government in July.
Discussion on integrating challan system with Fastag
According to the report, in the meeting, the traffic and road safety wing of the state police discussed integrating the challan system at toll gates with Fastag. This will allow the fine to be deducted directly from the Fastag wallet. The ADGP plans to write a letter to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for its approval.
