No more Traffic Jam! This Indian City Police to monitor traffic with…, driving without seatbelt will…, Overloading may lead to…, not Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Noida, Chennai
New Delhi: Delhi is witnessing a major spike in population. Currently, the city has a population of around 22.3 million. As the population grows, the number of vehicles on the roads is steadily increasing. However, the city's road infrastructure is not sufficient to accommodate this growing number of vehicles. As a result, Delhi often faces heavy traffic congestion. People are forced to struggle for hours in traffic jams, with vehicles crawling on the roads. Artificial Intelligence to Improve Parking
Owing to the lack of proper parking arrangements, people park their cars on roads. Now, the authorities are planning to take the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to handle this problem and manage the city's traffic more efficiently. All You Need To Know About Intelligent Traffic Management System?
According to the reports, the Delhi Traffic Police, in collaboration with the administration, has already prepared a Detailed Project Report (DPR). This system has been named the Intelligent Traffic Management System. With the help of this system, a green corridors can be created in Delhi, and all parking areas will be linked to it. This will help people know in advance whether parking is available at their destination or not. How the Intelligent Traffic Management System Will Work
Talking about the system, DCP Traffic, Delhi Police, S.K. Singh said that the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) will use artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies for real-time traffic monitoring. The system will have an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system. It will monitor violations such as over-speeding, red-light jumping, and using a mobile phone while driving. Here are some of the key details: The system can detect from a distance whether the driver has fastened the seatbelt or not.
The system will also detect people who will not wearing a helmet, overloaded vehicles, lane discipline breaches, and fake license plates
It will capture images of vehicles breaking lane discipline or two-wheelers using the footpath.
It can recognize fake or duplicate license plates as well, enabling authorities to take immediate action.

Agencies plan facial recognition feature in CCTVs for airport staff
New Delhi Senior officials from all agencies involved in aviation sector held a meeting on Saturday to discuss ways to enhance security at the airports, protection of VIPs, holding unified training of personnel at the airport while making air travel seamless and also passenger friendly, CISF said in a statement. Agencies plan facial recognition feature in CCTVs for airport staff The agencies deliberated upon having facial recognition features for passengers for quicker check in and a similar entry for vehicles with their fast tags and automatic number plate recognition facilities at airports. 'This workshop focused on making airport security not just stronger, but also more efficient and passenger-friendly,' DIG (Int) of the CISF, Ajay Dahiya said. Detailing some of the key takeaways, Dahiya said,'The discussions revolved around integrating facial recognition with airport entry passes (Biometric AEP) and CCTVs, along with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and Fast Tag integration for vehicles. This means potentially faster entry into the airport and quicker processing at security checkpoints, reducing queues and wait time. Digitised standard operating procedures (SOPs) will also lead to smarter and quicker responses to any security concerns.' The workshop was attended by senior officials of the CISF, airport security chiefs from across 69 airports and representatives from key organisations like the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), Airport Authority of India (AAI), Delhi Police, Bureau of Immigration (BOI), Special Protection Group (SPG), National Security Guard (NSG), Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) and airline representatives. The CISF said that another issue discussed in the meeting was security of VIPs and other special guests at the airport. 'Enhanced VIP security protocols were a major point of discussion, including advanced anti-drone strategies and robust insider threat checks. The concept of layered protection will ensure that high-profile individuals can travel with the utmost safety, while striving to minimise any impact on general airport operations. These specialised protocols ensure the highest level of safety for VIPs,' Dahiya said. The officer also said that the agencies have not only resolved to hold unified training for all personnel, including aircraft crew but also open more Aviation Security Training Institutes (ASTIs) in smaller cities to prepare for the growing demand in air travel. CISF in a statement said that in the workshop, the deliberations focused on refining the understanding of threat and using technology. 'This includes integration of artificial intelligence in data analysis for gaining insights and anticipating security risks before they actually occur. The emphasis was on the mindful utilisation of technology to ensure optimal results, meaning faster and smarter checks without compromising safety. This could translate into reduced waiting times and a quicker passage through security checkpoints,' CISF statement said.

CNG cars get relief from latest Delhi govt action against old petrol and diesels
Starting July 1st, end-of-life diesel and petrol cars will be denied fuel at petrol pumps, impounded on spot, and sent for scrapping. Check Offers The Delhi government is enforcing a strict ban on refuelling and operating End-of-Life (EoL) vehicles, which will mark one of its biggest moves to tackle air pollution in the capital city. Starting July 1, 2025, diesel cars older than 10 years and petrol cars older than 15 years will be denied fuel at all fuel pumps in Delhi and subject to immediate seizure. The government has additionally stated that CNG cars older than 15 years are currently excluded from this ban and will not be denied fuel. These vehicles will be identified using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at the fuel pumps and will be impounded on the spot. Once seized, EoL diesel and petrol cars will be towed to a scrapping facility, said Niharika Rai, Delhi Transport Commissioner. Violators can, however, pay a fine and submit an affidavit in order to retrieve their vehicles. The new rules are to be enforced by joint teams of the Delhi Traffic Police, the transport department, and municipal bodies, stationed at pumps fitted with ANPR cameras. Also Read : Delhi govt to provide subsidies to promote electric vehicles through new EV policy, says CM Rekha Gupta The revised statement of purpose (SOP) issued by the Delhi government states, 'CNG vehicles shall not be denied fuel," adding that the ban applies strictly to diesel and petrol vehicles matching the specified criteria. How do ANPR cameras work? In a joint press conference on Friday, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) said that these vehicles will be identified using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras installed at fuel pumps across the city. As a car enters the pump, the system captures the number plate and scans the VAHAN portal for registration details, fuel type and age. If the car gets flagged as an EoL vehicle, the fuel operator at the pump will receive an alert to deny service. These ANPR cameras are currently installed at 498 fuelling stations across Delhi, including 116 CNG pumps. While EoL CNG cars are exempt from this ban and will not be denied service, their PUC checks will still be conducted.
